Leo finds a piece of crap somewhere! (I hope.)

It’s no big secret that Leo is in top physical shape! So it was great that TWiT’s Jeff Needles was able to buy a SKLZ Speed Chute for Leo. (Using Leo’s money, of course.)  The Chute provides excellent resistance training for improved speed, stamina, strength and acceleration. It allows a runner to focus on acceleration and top end speed through progressive resistance and overspeed training. These are all the things Leo excells at! The adjustable belt fits most athletes and rotates 360 degrees with a free motion ring that allows for movement in any direction. The SKLZ Speed Chute measures 54” by 54”. A quick-release belt buckle allows for training with acceleration bursts. It comes with a mesh-faced carrying pouch. To see it in action, you really have to watch the video version of this week’s Giz Wiz. Leo does his best to put the SKLZ Speed Chute through its paces, and actually loses his pants in the process! It’s pretty funny. Bottom line, so to speak, this gadget is probably better for real speed runners who can run fast enough to get it fully airborne.
