Gym In A Shoe

Gym in a shoe is a total upper body workout while you walk without carrying around bulky hand weights or poles. See people walking with them on www.gyminashoe.com. This innovative product utilizes a pair of workout bands with soft handles and a base that clips on and off any athletic shoe. The resistance bands strengthen the biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders and back with every step you take. We have learned that strength is more than just size – strength is resilience and stamina. The bands connect the upper body and lower body and create a rhythm when you walk. Your whole body is connected! Gym in a shoe provides every benefit that gyms, personal trainers and aerobic classes offer. Be your own trainer! Get out of the stuffy, crowded gym and take a walk under the clear blue sky and breathe the fresh air.

Interval Timer - $20

I walk with a friend and/or a dog. With this gadget I'm thinking I could change pace without being a clock watcher.

Dog gear

I walk with a mini weenie dog. I wish they made better walking gear for the smaller dogs.

New iPod nano

The latest version of the iPod nano is great for walking. It's back to the oblong shape and has a huge amount of memory. It will hold lots of video as well as music.
