Yurbuds, A Runner’s and Fit-Geek’s Dream

by on March 2nd, 2011

While in Vegas for the CES conference this past Janurary, I was introduced to Yurbuds. I’m not a tri-athlete…yet, but I do try to exercise on a regular basis so naturally, I was very excited to test these out. Plus I’m always looking for the best and newest headphones.

What do you get when you buy Yurbuds?
·   Yurbuds Ironman Series Earphones – Fitted with red yurbuds – Light style
·   Extra red yurbuds – Intense style
·   Red Ironman nylon carrying case – Zippered pouch
·   Ironman trading cards – Inspirational stories of personal triumph
·   Quick-Start guide – Installation and care instructions

When I first opened them up, I immediately noticed the soft plastic that they’re made of. It’s for extra soft comfort! :D I used the Quick-Start guide to see how to use them, its a small card that shows a pictorial view of how to angel the headphones into your ears. At first I thought, “man these are too big for me, I’ll never like them.” Half a song into my jog, I forgot they were there. I’m not even exaggerating! It was like I was in my own little music room! They didn’t move, I could hardly feel them, they were plain amazing. Continue Reading…

GIFT IDEAS: Fitness Gadgets for the FitGeek in Your Life

by on December 2nd, 2010

Technology not only changes how we work but how we live, how we shop, and don’t forget…how we exercise!  Ever evolving technology has provided us with many tools to help us get in to shape. There is a plethora of gizmos with variating methods to help reach personal fitness goals.

Here is a list of 10 gadgets for the fitness addict on your Holiday shopping list:

1.  Apple Nike + iPod nano ($99): I know I know, many of you have heard of this or perhaps even own it. When Nike first put this on the market, I actually bought a iPod Nano so that I could use this. Back then I had just started running, I traveled a lot to various work locations and Nike+ was really useful. You can calibrate it to your running style (go to a local high school track to set it up!). It allows you to set power songs for the extra motivational push you might need and after your run you can upload your stats to the Nike website so try and beat your time or distance. I’ll let you in on a little secret…you really don’t require the specific Nike shoes.  SHHhh!! I won’t tell if you don’t! ;-) What I did was put the sensor as horizontally as possible under the tongue of my sneaker, you can hardly feel it and still works great!  The iPhone 4 has apps that track your exercise as well, but if you already have a nano and an extra 30$ you’ll save some cash instead of getting a new phone for much much more.
