FredJust in case you were in danger of feeling a bit positive about your thankless job and hellish commute, here's a way to make sure every day meets a minimum agony threshold: Be forced to do a mini-workout before you get put of bed.

The Shape Up alarm clock, produced by Fred & Friends (makers of the world's most serious pizza slicer), is housed inside a dumbbell. Once the alarm goes off, you'll have to do 30 arm curls before the darn thing will shut off.

Unclear from the product literature is what happens if you throw it through the nearest window.
