Stay Fit
July 5th 2009 -
More and more people are beggining to practice jogging as an alternative to goying to the gym, or other sports. It helps both the body and mind, besided being a fun activity. The fitter they become, people start increasing their running distance, until they can jog for miles. One thing joggers have in common is the fact that they’re all listening to music, while jogging.
This is understandable, especially when considering a person can jog for an hour or more. The problem is that most mp3 players don’t handle the constant moving up and down too well. Older, CD based mp3 players would have a bad habit of skipping songs, while running, and modern, flash based mp3 players have a tendency of falling from your pocket, due to their small size.
One common practice is using an armband, and attaching your player to it. These have become better and better, with the first models having problems holding bigger mp3 players. However, some find it uncomfortable to wear, and would rather find another solution to listen to their music while running.
The sansa clip mp3 player 2gb brings something new for joggers, in form of a clip. That means it can be attached to your clothes, without hindering you in any way. The clip is also strong enough to make sure the player doesn’t fall while running. Don’t forget it attached to your clothes when you throw them into the washing machine, though. The clip is strong, but not strong enough to handle that.
Isn’t it easier running without constantly stopping and checking to see if you haven’t dropped your mp3 player? Why wear an armband with some weight attached to it, if you don’t have to? You’re free to concentrate on your pace and breathing, and enjoy your jog by the seaside, or through the park, now that you know your small music player is safe. You’ll find that your run goes a lot faster once you have your mind busy doing something else, like listening to a good piece of music or an audio book.
