Seven Gadgets to Help Get In Shape
One of last week’s Deal of the Day at SmartMoney was a look at seven gadgets that might help you get in better shape and they ran the gamut of accessories:
- Suunto wrist-top computer
- Nike + iPod Sport Kit
- Adidas-Polar Project Fusion
- Diet and Exercise Assistant for Palm OS
- Garmin Forerunner
- Wii Fit
- PumpOne
It was cool to see the Wii Fit in there, I recently tried out the unit at a Safeway National Capital BBQ Battle and came away very impressed with the unit. I don’t know if it will really help you get in shape but it certain can assist in helping understand your own balance and equilibrium.
As for the other gadgets, some are pricey and specific - I don’t really know what I’d do with a $220 Suunto t2c wrist-top computer. It can monitor your heart rate, caloric burn in real time, and upload that data to a personal training program.

The Wii Fit and Nike + iPod Sport Kit are both great ways to keep in shape, I use both on a daily basis- the Wii Fit is fun as well, which is always a bonus!
I like the idea of the Nike-iPod kit, but I don’t really run too much. I like the Wii Fit, but for some reason it’s been gathering dust lately while I swim instead.
