The wired
workout
Some gadgets are true go-getters.
These gym-ready workhorses can
keep up the pace— no matter
how fast or far you go.
DRINK UPÎ
Call it a coach-
in-a-can. This
“smart” water
bottle calculates the
amount of liquid
your body needs and
monitors exactly how
much you consume.
Just plug in your
weight, duration of
exercise, and other
hydration factors
(like heat), and it
generates a personal
hydration goal. $30,

FIT TO BE TRIED
It may be just inches
long, but this monitor
packs huge measuring
power. A 3-D motion
sensor tracks calories
burned, steps taken,
distance traveled, and
even sleep quality,
building a super-
accurate picture of
your daily activities.

JUMP FOR JOY
This isn't your average
jump rope— adjust the
length to your height,
enter your weight, and
a tiny digital counter
clocks the calories
you've burned. Sunny
digital jump rope, $30;

QUALITY TIME
Tracking your stats
is a cakewalk with
this GPS-enabled
watch. Its built-in
USB cable uploads
your time, distance,
pace, and the calories
you burned. Nike+

EAR GEAR
Sweat and headphones
just don't mix—water
can easily damage the
tiny speakers. So invest
in a pair made to stand
up to H20 (good for
tubs or spas, too), and
keep the tunes flowing.
Flex waterproof buds,
