My Nike+ Experience and iPod Sports Kit Review

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Experience Nike+
For the past week, I’ve had the chance to experience Nike+, which I’ve previously only seen a number of people using, especially during the huge promo earlier this year in Fitness First where Nike had free Trial Sessions for people to try out Nike+ for themselves.

If you’re wondering what Nike+ is – it’s basically the combination of the Nike Plus Sports Kit, a Nike+ pair of shoes, and of course – Apple’s iPod Nano. The sports kit consists of a receiver you connect to your iPod Nano, and a small, oval shaped sensor (a piezoelectric accelerometer) that you insert under the sockliner of your Nike Footwear. Nike+ is the unique combination of these items, working together to be your ‘workout partner’ (though I’d like to personally call it a motivator) that will give you live feedback on the progress of your run!

With the receiver plugged into your iPod – you can now keep track of your running pace, distance, and calories burned for all your previous running sessions. I’ve always been able to keep track of my weight training progress – and now, I’ve got a neat way to keep track of my runs too.

We all have our ‘down’ days when we just don’t have the motivation or energy to have a great workout. To make things worse, your gym plays the same song you heard one year ago when you first joined. Sounds familiar?
I’ve always believed in the power of music. Music is a very powerful tool that […]

Success is Tedious (Survivor - Eye of the Tiger)

Thursday, September 15th, 2005

Success is often tedious. When we see success in others, it looks exciting and fun. We see someone in great physical shape. We see an athlete being cheered by the crowd after a successful performance. We see someone who is successful in business living in a magnificent house, driving a shiny new car and taking […]

You know the feeling you get when you watch a movie and the good guys are finally getting their revenge? The feeling of victory, revenge, good overcomes evil. Its that teeth-gnashing feeling you get when:
1. Rambo finally gets his hands on that HUGE mother-of-a Machine Gun and pumps […]
