So I love my Nikes, and I love my Ipod. If only there was some glorious device that somehow utilized them both to the benefit of my health....


Wait a sec! There is!


So, all that drama aside, anyone tried this? It seems pretty spiffy, so I am leaning towards it. Anyone have any advice they can float my way?


Mucho Thanks Amigos! (That's Spanglish for you)

    Well I did have one until the battery ran out.
    It is totally worth it if you don't mind purchasing a new one everytime the battery dies. :grumble:

    That is why I decided to just go with a Polar F11 heart rate monitor. :bigsmile:

    But it would be totally up to you...

    Well mine went dead in under a year, but I only got to use the thing maybe a dozen times.
    So I wouldn't be able to give you an accurate time line. :ohwell:

    But beings they cost $26.99 a pop, not including taxes. It maybe worth looking into something that may cost more, like the Polar but if the batteries go dead I can drive to a place that sells them and have the battery changed.

    That was the huge downside with the Nike+Ipod thing, is you can't change the battery once it dies. It may not last as long if you use it more???? That I don't know.

    Have you googled it to see what other people are saying about it??:huh:

    I just got one of these - haven't tried it yet but when I do I'll let you know - supposedly it has inspirational comments during your workout....then you download your data and see your progress.

    :wink:
