Technology!

Have you all seen the new Nike + iPod Sport Kit?  This is the coolest little gismo for those of you who use your iPod when you work out.  Here is the explanation of what the Sport Kit is:

Transform your iPod nano or iPod touch (2nd generation) into a personal workout coach with the Nike + iPod Sport Kit. This wireless sensor and receiver combination works exclusively with your Nike+ shoes and iPod nano or iPod touch to give you real-time feedback during workouts and let you track your performance on your Mac or PC.

I had not heard of this cool little product until a friend of mine showed it to me the other day while we were walking!  I can't listen to music very long with head phones on before it starts to hurt my ears, so I was excited to see that my Nano could serve another purpose.  

The device can even tell you when you have reached certain milestones during your workout.  I wonder if you could program it to tell you to get up and start moving if you have been stationary for too long.  Imagine jamming out to tunes and all of a sudden hearing that techno voice pop up and say, "Hey woman......your butt is getting bigger by the minute, put down the cheetos and get moving."  Isn't technology awesome?
