Getting fit with tech

Traditionally geeks avoid exercise like the plague. But cool gadgets and the Web might convince them to get moving.

I somehow don't think a "pedometer" is gonna help nerds pick up chicks.

It sounds like the sort of thing that could land you on a sex offender registry. <_<

Only problem is that even if you use a Polar or Garmin, they don't pick up GPS in all spots, specifically along the Atlantic seaboard. I don't think I'd want to run with my phone, but its worth testing the free-apps purely for signal mapping, prior to purchasing a monitor. Monitoring your heart-rate while training according to a program is the only way to make proper gains. The cool part is the Sport Science Institute can work your info to your own custom training program for free.

If I run anywhere through Joburg with a fancy device like that, someone is going to rob me!
