Has a weekend of watching amazing athletes inspired you to leap off the couch and get into shape? Don’t be hasty. Gather some gadgets to get started with, or just to make you look cool in the trials. Impressed by the way the Olympic gymnasts fling their bodies around the pommel horse? Your variation on the rings competition could be the Perfect Pushup ($99), with rotating handles and adjustable swing arms to give you the feel for holding your body suspended in mid-air. Uhmm, yea. Ready to run? Don’t leave without a Sportline HydraCoach “intelligent” water bottle (pictured) that tracks your hydration level based on your weight, exercise level and your personal hydration goal.” It even factors in heat and altitude, for $27.95. You want to wear earphones while you sprint, but when in unfamiliar territory (like a running path), ambient awareness earphones ($80) will let you jog along with Lil Wayne and still hear sounds around you, such as screeching brakes and screaming. Now you’re starting to get serious, and this is a seriously odd device: a “core body temperature monitoring system” that consists of a data recorder you wear, which gets its information from a pill-shaped sensor that you swallow. We can’t find a price, but you may want to discuss that one with others before purchasing, anyway.  You’ll want a new scale to measure your progress, and a Tanita Inner-Scan scale will track not only your weight but body fat and body water percentage, muscle mass, physique rating, amount of visceral fat and, well, enough said. It’s $110. Is all this talk of exercise too exhausting? Then you probably just need to strengthen your remote-control muscles with an Xtensor hand exerciser ($40 from ThinkGeek).  It’s made for video gamers, but you wouldn’t want to get a thumb cramp and miss the synchronized swimming.
