Sometimes late at night you lie awake and think, “There MUST be more to life than a weight set and treadmill. MORE than dumbbells and exercise balls.” Well, I’m sorry to say that…there is. Yep, there’s a whole world of non-traditional exercise equipment out there just waiting to send you to the emergency room from an embarrassing accident.

Still, maybe one of the following devices are exactly what you’ve been waiting your whole life to find, if not for the fitness potential, then surely for the comedy value.
