Let’s face it, most of us don’t have a team of make-up artists, hair stylists, and airbrush experts to make us look good. Instead, we have to whip our butts into shape on our own. Although it does take a boatload of discipline to exercise on a regular basis, technology can make working out fun. Here are a few items that can help you stay fit and reach your healthy weight.
Nike+ iPod Sport Kit
WIth a special pair of Nike shoes, an iPod, and an Apple Sport Kit, your exercise routine is well on its way. The Kit comes with a wireless sensor and a wireless receiver. When you attach the receiver to your iPod and put the sensor in your Nike+ shoes, you can track your workout time, distance, pace, and calories burned. After your run or walk, you can take all this info back to your computer so you have a precise record of progress. Oh, and of course all this also means you can listen to your tunes on the go. For $39, this Kit is a lot cheaper than hiring a personal trainer.
