new year's resolution: exercise more, part 3

Rollerstop, $95 on Areawear

Continuing with this series of unusual exercise equipment, why not try the above silver skates to get your 2009 exercise regime jump-started? I'll tell you why not. These roller skates, designed by Harry Allen, are made of resin and marble. Oh well. Apparently though, they make a heck of a door stop. Or a book end.
