Get up and shape up with the dumbbell alarm clock

Dumbbell Alarm ClockIf you know someone who lives, breathes and sleeps fitness, I've just found the perfect gadget for them.

The Shape Up Dumbbell Alarm Clock.

This drill sergeant of the alarm clock world wakes you up at the required time, but then demands you do 30 bicep curls to turn the damn thing off!

And of course by the time you've completed that little workout, you've been well and truly woken up.


Fortunately, it's not quite as heavy as it looks. It does say 10kg on one end, but it actually weighs 660g. But's that's enough to wake you up without you starting the day with a pulled muscle.

Sadly, it also has a no-reps-required alarm function for cheats. The ones who used to claim to have run three times round the school field when it fact they had only walked round once. Like me.

The Dumbbell Alarm Clock is available from Firebox in black or white priced £19.95.
