Cool New Device to Help You Push trough Your Workout: BodiBeat by Yamaha

Powering up workouts just got easier. The Yamaha BodiBeat MP3 player analyzes your playlist by beats per minute and then matches songs to your speed. It can even track your pulse to keep you at a heart-healthy level by playing faster songs if you're losing momentum and slower ones if you're pushing too hard. For intervals, up-tempo music cues you to pick up the pace, while mellow tunes tell you when to slow down. ($300; yamaha.com)

that is a great idea!! a bit pricey though...but, i can use all the help i can get so maybe when we are grown up again (once we graduate) this won't seem so pricey :)
