Basically the sensor transmits your walking or running information from the sensor to your iPod, keeping track of how far you have gone, how fast you are going, you can chose from a variety of workout styles, pick a power song from your iTunes music selection and more. If you have the iPod Touch, the Nike + iPod app is already installed and you can activate with two to three clicks – in other words, you don’t have to be a techy to make this work.

Nike now sells running shoes with a slot under the insole that fits the Nike + Ipod sensor perfectly, however, if you do not have Nike shoes (or don’t like them, like me), you can get a little case (I have the SwitchEasy Runaway one) for the sensor that clips onto your shoe laces.

When you get ready to go for your walk, clip the sensor to your laces (the closer to your toes the better), open the Nike + app on your iPod and touch Begin Workout. It is that easy.

Another benefit is the Nike Plus online community. You can create an account and sync your iPod to the Nike Plus site for even more benefits. You can find virtual walking or running partners and be part of a community which helps from the accountability and fun aspect!

And one last thing – the Nike + Ipod sensor is not expensive – you can get it for about $20 on Amazon.

I just bought the Nike Women’s Tech Pique Golf shirt in an XXL and I love the way it is cut!  The princess seam styling provides room for your curves while creating a really flattering silhouette. It also features a 5-button placket and knit collar.

The breathable Dri-FIT fabric wicks away sweat and provides continuous sun protection up to 30 SPF.  You can find it in a variety of colors, too. I really like the light blue I ordered as it looks great with my favorite black golf skort.
