Apple/Nike + iPod Sport Kit Reviews

The iPod Sport Kit was recommended to me so I decided to try this out. I use this when I go to the gym or aerobics but mainly when I go for walks. It's simple to use and it motives you to do better with each task. The one thing I don't like is that it freezes up sometimes when you switch quickly from sport mode back to your main iPod menu. I've had to reset my iPod Nano twice so far. Also, this will not work on crosstrainers or stationary bikes since you're not physically taking steps. Some gym machines are iPod-ready but it depends on where you go.

If you don't have Nike shoes...there are...

Nike+ Sensor was added to my tools to keep me healthy, June 2009.  I love it and use it all the time!  I was more excited when I found out that I didn't have to have the special shoe. 

Pros: 

• The Sensor talks to you through your iPod, you can even pick a male or female voice. You set it up with the information you want it to tell you.
• It is small and there are rubber cases available that will attach your sensor to any shoe.
• There is a sleep button so when it is not in use you are not using up all of the power.
• If you are a marathoner and can't use a MP3 player in your runs there is an...

I love my ipod nano with the Nike adapter.  I don't have the Nike shoes, but there are kits that can be found on Amazon that go around the shoelaces.  When I ordered it from Amazon, I also got a case that goes around the wrist or arm.

My sport kit was immediately and easily calibrated on my treadmill.  I am not a runner, but marathon walker.  I love how I can set it for a basic work out, or get myself motivated by setting a time, distance (miles or kilometers) ore even calories.  The history feature also keeps track of all of my workouts which can be downloaded on Nike.com.

I was looking for something to help me track my progress and this thing does it!  I recently just decided to start exercising again.  I love the way it tells you when you are half way done and keeps track of your workouts. 

I have really enjoyed the training programs that are on the Nike site.  It has really helped me stay motivated.

If you don't want to buy new Nike's just buy the pouch on Amazon, it works wonderfully. 

I have recommended this to several people already!

The Nike+ sports device requires an iPod Nano to work. You also need a special Nike+ pair of running shoes. You place the sensor in your shoe, the receiver on the dock connector of your iPod, choose your song and run. The device communicates to you the distance you've gone, how far you have to go, the pace at which you're currently running. Although you will occasionally need to re-calibrate the sensor, this is a wonderful running aid that just works!
