Oh certain, we’ve seen gadgets used as motivational tools before, but Sega Toys is apparently banking on you not being a hothead. Otherwise, you just might fling its Body Trainer headset from your dome as soon as you take in “please exercise a little bit harder” by your incessant panting. Nevertheless, those with oodles of self-control may actually benefit from having a personal trainer (of sorts) in their ear while working out, and by monitoring the wearer’s heartbeat via a sensor, it can blurt out messages at

the appropriate moment to help users through their session(s). Reportedly, that nifty exercise buddy is set to launch in Japan that April for ¥5,775 ($54), and while we’ve no concept whether that thing is destined for US soil, we can definitely see it being used more so for its musical abilities and less for its steadfast encouragement.
