Nike+ Sneakers will give you the Jalk of your life

I have been meaning to get back here and post but, I am so active now I simply didn't have the time. I'm not sure if let you all know that I am now a trainer at the gym I have been working out at. I coach a class at 5am Monday thru Friday. I have to say it is the best way to workout. We rely on one another to stay motivated.

On the weekends and in the evenings I still walk, but more often what I like to call 'jalking'. You know what that is. You walk a little, and then jog a little. I like to set my goals by the lamp post. I tell myself not to stop running until I've made it to the third post or the tenth mailbox. It is a fun way to get my cardio done.


I recently added another tool to my exercise arsenal-Nike+ Sneakers. Nike+ sneakers and their workout tracking system have reenergized my 'jalking'.

Here's how it works. You get the Nike+ Sensor and the Nike+ Sneakers you sync up the sneakers with your IPod and start 'jalking', walking, or running and the sensor sends the data to your IPod. You can wait until the end of your workout to see how far you have gone, how many feet per minute and you can even see at a glance how many calories you burned while doing it. You don’t have to wait until you are done working out to get this data though. All you have to do is press the center button on you IPod and a voice will come on and tell you your real time progress.

But get this; the best part is at the end of your workout a major professional athlete will speak to you and give you those words of encouragement. I had my longest work out ever on Sunday and Tiger Woods’ voice came on and gave me positive feedback. How cool is that?

Well, if you don't have an IPod yet be sure to pick one up, add to that your Nike+ Sneakers and sensor and you are in for the 'jalk', walk or run of your life.

Thanks for walking with me and keep up the great work!
