If you like gadgets and toys then the Nike+ sports kit is something you will enjoy. Apple and Nike have joined forces and created a phenomenon that changed the way people look at running. Buy a new pair of running shoes from Nike(like the Nike Air Pegasus). Buy the Nike+ sports kit and the Nike+ Arm Band.
This will enable you to fit a sensor into your shoe that connects wirelessly to a plug in module on your iPod. On your iPod you can select a training mode as well as a distance that you want to run. You can select music you want to train to as well as a power song that will motivate you. A variety of sport mixes and power songs are available to download from the iTunes store.
Now you can go for a run and your iPod will track your run while you are listening to your favourite music. When finished you just stop your workout and upload the information to the Nike+ website. The website is great at tracking results and setting goals. You can challenge your friends online as well as plot your route on a map. This creates a fun and enjoyable environment to exercise.
Some extra features available to download from the Nike+ website are widgets. These are desktop programs that keep you on track with your goals. This was a real good idea created by some innovative engineers trying to get people off the couches and away from the PC exercising.
