Good luck with the new-found motivation Barcode

I've lost a bit of weight with just eating less crap and running for about 45 minutes twice a week, thats about as much as I can be bothered doing during the week after work, its not much, but its better than nothing...

The Nike+ interface on the new nano is much better, but how do you transfer your previous runs from one iPod to another?

It's a shame the shoe sensor doesn't recharge its battery from all the motion it sustains!

Would you like to join the MacTalk Nike + group? Post in this thread and see ya on the pavement!

Been thinking about the nike+ system for a while what has drawn me away being a sneaker collector is i don't like the compatible sneakers though i believe it is removable/buy the shoe part from footlocker to use in any sneakers is that correct?

I bought this.. it attaches to the laces making any lace up shoe compatible.

Here's a tip for shin splints. After each run pretend your big toe is a pencil/pen/writing device. now stick your leg forward slightly and point you toe out. now write the alphabet with your big toe in the air. great tip i got from a physio and it works really well.

Awesome song to run to.

a.

The receivers are so poorly made, mine died after 3 weeks of constant use.

I would think being such a small device it's probably not made to well if it has warranty will the cover replacing?

Dude, it's best to provide references to back up your assertions. If someone makes a choice that might not be as informed as yours, you should try to be at least a little diplomatic.

I had not heard of HIIT before, so I checked wikipedia. There are lots of (what look to be) good references that back up the claims made by HIIT proponents such as yourself: High-intensity interval training - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It looks like a valid way to train, and if it works half as well as they suggest, its worth giving it a shot.

One thing about any weight loss & fitness regime that I've found helps a lot is gathering lots of data. The Nike + will help him if he feels that running is going to be best for him (not everyone is comfortable on a stationary cycle) as it will help him measure the effort and validate his HIIT routine.

Weighing yourself twice a day and recording the average of that, and crunching the numbers to work out your daily calorie burn deficit also helps a lot. If you see the weight going up, you kow you need to either, a) adjust your diet downward a little more or b) increase your activity level (depending on how many calories you're over your limit.)

The Hacker's Diet has awesome amounts of great technical information on how to best record and monitor your weight loss, though I wouldn't recommend it as a diet plan. (though, it's central premise - eat less than you burn to lose weight - is sound, imho)

Barcode, good luck with your exercise and stick with it. I've started back up my fitness regime after about a 6 month break, and I aim to knock off a substantial amount this time around. Its hard, but worth it, without a doubt.

You have no idea how annoyed I am that the Nike kit doesn't work with the iPhone (or that they didn't included it in the phone itself...you can't tell me that Apple 'just' came up with this idea for iPod Touch).

I'm just starting to get back into sport stuff and would like to track my progress. I'm NOT going to get a Touch or Nano just for that when I already have an iPhone and iPod.

I got it as part of the Nike Plus Schools Challenge. It died on the second last day of the challenge, it was such a shame; it worked great in the first two weeks.

I checked the warranty details on the Apple site, its warranty is apparently over already.

going down to the shops this afternoon to grab one since you can get the clip to use any shoes you want.



Can't wait to use it with my nike hyperdunks.

Still got my Nike+ sensor, bjt got rid of my nano as I am going to get the touch.

Good luck on your new found fitness regime sir! And remember -- practice what your preach. Don't just self-motivate, be accountable too.

As for the above quote, I think there is a danger in getting bogged down in details. Sometimes you've got to keep things simple and fun. I find doing classes I really enjoy keeps me coming back. But I completely understand the need to track progress via concrete data.

Have a plan, but more importantly have fun or you won't want to come back to it.

Just do HIIT three times over one week. You'll already have lost weight and more energy. You'll see how good it is just by doing it.

All this is coming fro experience. I had a personal trainer and that all he did for a month with me. Changed my whole life, lost upwards of 10Kg and already looked better. The sculpting of the body is the hard bit, especially with all my left over skin, but hey.

Just start with it for 10 mins. No pussy shit. You have to sprint as hard as you can in those 30 seconds, if you don't, you shouldn't wonder why it didn't work.
