The basic design of this product is quite simple. It is designed to act just like a normal alarm clock. You set the time for when you want to awake and a loud sound booms out of the device to wake you up. Now this is where things become drastically different. Once the sound goes off, we are usually able to just shut the alarm clock off or hit the snooze button. The Shape Up Alarm Clock does not allow you to do this. You are required to pick up the dumbbell alarm and do 30 reps with it. It is only after you do these 30 reps that the alarm clock will officially shut off for the day. The end result is that you just exercised and your blood is now flowing rapidly. This will cause you to be more awake and better prepared to start the morning off on the right foot.
Some other features of the Shape Up Alarm Clock Dumbbell is that it comes with a bright back-lit digital LCD screen. This makes it so that the time is more noticeable. There are several old style alarm clocks still on the market that do not show you the time in a bright display. This can be a damper because you sometimes wake up late at night and peer over to your alarm clock to see what time it is. You can rest assured knowing that this product will remain brightly lit, thus allowing you to check the time at the darkest of nights.
One issue that I had with this product is that it does not have a plug to plug into a wall outlet. The Shape Up Alarm Clock Dumbbell currently only operates with 3 AA batteries that are not even included. If you can get over this one major flaw, you will absolutely love this product. It is my opinion that this would make a great Christmas gift for those who plan on making New Years resolutions to get back into shape. What other product out there wakes you up and helps you get started with a little bit of exercise? There is not many and that is why this is a product to keep your eye out for this holiday season.
