Nike keeps you motivated
Well, of course we had the bad weather in January and February and hectic days at work in March and April. In other words, I haven’t started yet. Sounds familiar? Well, in that case, the Nike+ SportBand might just be the product to get you going.

Monitor every step
The Nike+ SportBand is a lightweight wristband that is wireless connected to a sensor, attached onto one of your shoes. You will be able to monitor your speed, distance, and number of steps on the display.

Prefer a little more competition?
After every ‘marathon’ you can easily connect your SportBand to your PC via the integrated USB-port. This will allow you to track your performance and monitor your progress. The results will automatically be uploaded to a secure personal profile on the Nike+ website. Here you will also (among other things) find personal training programs.

Challenge Nike users
But there is more that keeps you motivated! If you are up for more competition, simply challenge another Nike+ user. You can compete with him (based on your results) on speed, distance and overall performance. All this motivation will only cost you €60,-.

Ipod sensor
Those of you that own an iPod Nano only have to spend € 29,-. In return you will receive a special adapter that fits your Nano (incl. the shoe-sensor) and converts it onto a portable trainer. Not only monitors your iPod your progress (like the SportBand), but it also updates you on your progress through the headphone. It even uses ‘peptalk’ to get you through the hard last 10 minutes of your workout. If that doesn’t motivate you, what will!
