Nike+

So, I am completely exhausted. The Nike+ is. a. bitch. My trainer has been bugging me to get a bodybugg. I have repeatedly refused because it's about $300. No way. It's a neat calorie log, but it's gigantic and there's no way I'm going to make a positive fashion statement wearing it. So I refuse.

24 hour fitness has started carrying the Nike+ gear. I had been reading up on it since the purchasing of my "Nike+ ready" sneakers and it seems the cheaper alternative to my dilemma. Since I don't have a iPod nano, I had to get the sportband. Why in the world would Apple collaborate with Nike to offer a product only compatible with one version of the iPod? STUPID.

At any rate, I set it up (username is jenrpollard in case anyone is interested in big brother monitoring my workouts). I ran for 30 minutes at the gym today, but of course, I needed to try it out so I jogged for 30 minutes at my apt to figure out how it worked. The Nike+ is. a. bitch. Apparently, it needs a stomping motion to calculate your stats so the exercise bike and elliptical machines DO NOT WORK. I have to run the whole time, or walk I guess. Man, this is going to wear me out.
