Fitbit Ultra
You know even the laziest men – like us here at EFTM – have to do some exercise, even if it’s just stumbling down to the letterbox each day. The Fitbit Ultra uses very precise sensors to track every step you take, including stairs and distance, and encourages you to move even more. It also tracks your sleep, so you know how fresh you are every day. Remember – accountability is key to a successful fitness regime.

Nike+ Sportswatch GPS and dongle
Running with the devil has never been so stylish. This sportswatch not only tells the time (revolutionary!), it also partners with a Nike+ foot sensor to track your running performance both on the road and on the treadmill. The watch will then vibrate at key moments and offer words of encouragement as you pound the pavement. And if you slack off for a few days, the watch will gently nudge you to get off your backside and start running. What more could you want?

For the sex side of things… well, you’re on your own there, buddy.
