— June 11, 2011 — Art & Design
As fitness and health become more and more important to people in modern societies, I am more than sure that products such as the Elastic Exerciser will pop up more and more as well. Not only does this nifty invention allow you to do a few reps of arm exercises here and there, it also doubles as a mousepad, which allows you to keep it discreetly in your office when it is not in use.

Designed by Guanyun Wang, Chengyuan Wei, Fan Zhang and Ye Tao, the Elastic Exerciser also allows you to unleash your inner Superman since the exercise it encourages is like the move that he does when ripping his shirt open and changing into his superhero outfit. Ultimately, the Elastic Exerciser is playful and practical.
