    Default ipod at the gym

    Has anyone used their ipod touch at the gym? Is it advisable?

    Or better to use Nano or shuffle?

    ipod touch is too big imo. I use my nano extensively plus you can buy the nike ipod sports kit if u like to run outside.

    I'm planning on 'trying' to run. It's good to know that ipod is sturdy enough for running. Maybe i should buy a nano...

    A new 'gadget' might inspire me to go to gym. :-)

    yes, the nano & nike + kit 'inspired' me to run 2 years ago. of course it still boils down to discipline/will to keep going. now i run without the nike+ kit, no iPod either (although we still have a red nano and the new shuffle). takbo lang ng takbo!

    I use my iPod touch but only on the climber and the threadmill. When it's time to do weights, I switch to my Nano. I find that watching a movie or TV episodes helps while working out. If I'm running, I set my Nike+ thing on my Nano and leave it on the side while I watch stuff on my Touch.

    No fancy armbands for me, just a silicone case. I prop it up on the control board.

    no ipod while running? galing. Long cardio is boring kasi without music.

    Unless you run outdoors and maganda environment.

    try buying the nike belt bag that has an iPod pocket on it. I have one and it works fine running on a treadmill, running outside or while working out. it doesn't even bother me when I'm sprinting, about the speed of 20.0 on the tread.

    iPods are great for gym use. You don't necessarily need the Nanos to work out.

    Remember that back in the 90s people were using huge CD players with "buffer technology" while jogging. I have rarely ever had my iPod skip or miss a beat while running on pavement.
