ipod mp3 player, ipod docking station Like millions of other people around the world, my New Year’s resolution for 2010 was to get back into the shape. A shape I have not seen since freshman year of college. My focus was on being able to run more then two miles without being completely winded. So far it has been going pretty good. For a little over a week in early January, I was sick which kept me out of the gym.

Being a tall guy, I try to be as nice to my knees as possible. Using a stair climber or elliptical machine works the best. It can get pretty boring spending 40 plus minutes on one of these machines. My savior has been an unassuming iPod MP3 player. Music is the answer to going that extra mile in the gym. When doing some simple exercises in the apartment my iPod docking station keeps the tunes flowing. It is a fact I would not make my 2010 goal if it wasn’t for my iPod MP3 player. Music is such a powerful motivational tool especially when it comes to bringing the mind to another place during long workouts.
