Mark over at A Passion for Running asks if he’s the only oneapathetic about the Nike iPod? I’m a huge Apple fan myself, typing this on a svelte 12′ Powerbook, and the Nike iPod seems like a nice addition to the exercise fitness gadgets lineup, but I also am not all that enthralled by it [...]

Lifehacker is featuring yet another treadputer up on their website.
I admit, as I am getting set up to move to freelance, I wonder how exactly I might set up something similar for myself so that I can work on losing weight while working.

About.com’s exercise section has this cool review of the BioTraner, an activity monitor. This device is pretty much like the accelerometer I blogged about earlier, but much sleeker and easier to clip to your belt.
I’d love to test one of these out myself!

Here is an entire website that is about nothing but treadputers, thanks to the power of Squidoo and the sharp bloggers at Starling Fitness.

Cardiovascular exercise burns off the fat, but if you’re just getting into it, the idea of running or jogging can be a bit daunting. It may be worth checking into cycling.

Not too long ago I got a gift of a heart rate monitoring watch. This was useful, as I had wanted to track how hard I was pushing myself, and make sure I wasn’t pushing myself too far. It required strapping a device around my chest, however, that was uncomfortable and got even more so [...]

Rubicante, an LJ user, has an entry up with a picture of an office that is a desk bolted on over a treadmill. The user of this ‘desk’ walks at a slow but steady pace throughout the day. This way the desk jockey is constantly burning calories. Neat concept.
Of course this works mainly for people [...]

Stumptuous.com is a weightlifting site aimed directly at women pumping iron.
If you’re a woman who’s always secretly eyed those dumbbells but has always had some dummkopf tell you you would “hurt yourself”, “get too big”, or Gawd knows what other idiocies, this is a good place for you to start finding out the truth and [...]

For those interested in tracking every single calorie, here is Caltrac. This amped up device looks like a pedometer, but tracks your activity on lots of other levels as well. It’s actually an accelerometer, and can help you distinguish between running calories burned and walking calories burned. It also claims to track calories burned while [...]
