Re:Walking is healthy - 04/10/06 05:03
Amazing how much money we spend on expensive excercise equipment when we the best piece of equipment is a piece of shoes...
And friend of mine has another cool twist on walking. He has a hand held GPS (He can wear like like a large bulky cassette player on his arm) that tracks his progress. When he gets done with his run or hike he can upload his route to the comuter and see every stat he could want. The device tracks heart rate, elvation and speed. It is really accurate too,most of the time you can tell which side of the street he is on!
He can overlay his route on a local ma using Google earth and even post his route online for bragging rights. I am waiting for him to get the model with an MP3 player so I can buy or "borrow" his current version from him... I am not sure of the brand, but a must have for the most active people on you holiday list.
