Nike + iPod to Jack Directly Into Gym Equipment

Nike + iPod is great for running, not so great for most other stuff in the gym. So, Nike and Apple are teaming up with most of the major gym equipment makers—Life Fitness, Precor, Star Trac and Technogym—to make their cardio equipment Nike + iPod-friendly. You'll be able to track workouts on stair steppers, ellipticals, bikes and treadmills and upload them to NikePlus.com, like the standard Nike + iPod. Of course, this all requires to your gym to either buy new equipment or upgrade what they've got, so you might have to wait a while to get on board. [AppleInsider]

Web-based Exercise Machine Keeps You from Looking Like a Spaz

Nothing's more humbling than being at the gym and having some bulky meathead call you out for doing an exercise the wrong way (especially as you try to save face in front of the Shakira-like beauty on the treadmill in front of you). Well, that's where Hammacher's new Interactive Personal Trainer System comes in. This all-in-one home system connects to the Internet and downloads exercise routines you can follow to get in shape. It demonstrates the proper technique on the built-in LCD and keeps you from looking like a moron while trying to do tricep kickbacks. The downside, it'll cost you $16,000. For that kinda money, just get a real trainer. – Louis Ramirez More »
