Track Your Steps With These Pedometers

It's that time of the year again when we get to shed our clothes as we head to exotic sunny beaches. Is your bod beach ready? I know what you're thinking, and yes, you really need to hit the gym soon. Check out these upcoming gadgets that are sure to help you get that mean machine lean before you go on vacation this summer:

• Walk and talk: Sony Ericsson has expanded their Walkman line again, this time adding the music-ready W580 phone with a built-in pedometer. Yes, not only will be able to keep track of your talk time, but also your walking distance. Do it all to the sound of your favorite tunes, as the slider-phone comes with a 512 Memory Stick Micro that can store up to 100 songs.
  
• Keep Track: Motivation is essential when you're getting back on the fitness saddle. Nikeplus.com is the perfect destination for those seeking a good fitness challenge. Of course, you'll need an iPod and Nike Sports kit to participate. If you haven't bought the $29.99 Nike+iPod kit because the shoes were too expensive, then listen to this. Nike plans to make all their running shoes Nike+ iPod compatible before the end of the year. That's good news for those of us who need a new pair of shoes. Check out my review on the Nike + iPod Sports Kit here.
  
• Diet Buddy: Exercise alone is not enough to help you lose that love handle. Watching what you eat is equally important when you're trying to get in shape, but nobody likes to count calories. Meet the Diet Buddy who does all the counting for you. The hand-held device has an alarm that sounds off when you've gone over your daily limit of calories, sugars or fats. It's also a pedometer, so it helps you track the amount of calories you've burned too.
