Recession Fitness: On The Bright Side, Maybe Empty Pockets Make Us Lighter and Faster?
I love a challeng
e as much as the next girl, and this stupid recession is really making me ticked off creative about finding cheap ways to get stuff I want. So in that spirit, check out Podrunner, a site that mixes music for exercise and then lets you download it for free. The mp3 files are available both in steady beats-per-minute formats (like the ones I teach to in class) and in mixed beats-per-minute formats (for interval training). You can download them directly or, if you’re an iTunes user, you can also find them for free under the “Podcasts” section of the iTunes music store. Then just put them on your iPod or mp3 player and you’re good to go. Another mix service, FitMusic, offers similar content but is availble only on iTunes. Try them out, and if you find a mix you like, post a comment and let us know!
Go-go Gadget Gym Gear!
The International Health, Racquet And Sportsclub Association — a fitness trade group — just wrapped up its international convention in San Francisco. The event allowed participants to preview a lot of gym equipment that may be making its way to a health club near you in the future. Some were just updates on popular equipment, some were totally and completely whackadoodle. Cnet has a cool slideshow of some of the show’s highlights. My favorite? The anti-gravity treadmill
. It’s like The Jetsons at the gym!
