SHAPE UP

There are some fine athletes on show in international rugby. Here’s our guide to some of the equipment that will help you emulate the
Six Nations rugby stars

FITNESS-MAD HEART RATE MONITOR, PEDOMETER & FM RADIO SET

Jog like a pro with a heart rate watch and belt which measures your present heart rate, maximum heart rate and average heart rate, as well as providing a pedometer reading and advanced calorie count. All this and an FM radio combine to keep your running serious, but fun (ish). �39.99 www.gymworld.co.uk

FOR GOODNESS SHAKES

The perfect recovery drink is For Goodness Shakes, which provides the right
3:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein. It reenergises, hydrates, feeds and rebuilds fast -helping muscles to repair and grow stronger whilst helping to reduce post-exercise soreness. And unlike powdered, recovery protein drinks, For Goodness Shakes is made from real food ingredients. It comes in four great tasting flavours; that you enjoy like a milkshake. �1.39 per bottle

XDREAM INTERACTIVE

An LCD screen in front of you displays your chosen terrain, from desert to forest, whilst the bike itself mimics the gradients and resistance and handlebars react in a lifelike manner as you try to negotiate the twists and turns.

SHAPE UP ALARM

You should, of course, leap straight from bed and into your high impact fitness routine. The truth is, you reach, bleary eyed, for the alarm clock. Well now, combine the two with a sadistic, dumbbell shaped alarm clock which refuses to shut up until you’ve done thirty reps. �19.95
