An iPod is a common accessory for joggers.
Listening to music while jogging can make exercising more enjoyable, and can also help inspire you to push harder. If you run on a regular basis, or don't particularly enjoy it but do it for fitness, you may find jogging somewhat boring. With a music source such as a small portable MP3 player, you can listen to a vast selection of music to help make your runs less monotonous. Listening to music while jogging is a simple, easy task that's enjoyable to do.
Instructions
1. Purchase an MP3 player, such as an iPod Nano to use while running. While more dated devices such as a Walkman or portable CD player are also adequate for running, they're more bulky, prone to skipping and are limited by the tape or CD length. An iPod Nano, on the other hand, can carry as much as 1,000 songs and is so lightweight it won't slow you down or be a nuisance.
2. Load the MP3 player with your favorite music for running by creating a playlist. To obtain the music to load onto your device, you can either download it or import it from CDs. If you are using an iPod touch, you can access the iTunes Store directly through the device's Wi-Fi connection.
3. Buy an MP3 holder that straps to your arms. These holders are common and can be found in electronics stores and some drug stores. These are useful because they keep your hands free but also keep the MP3 player within easy reach if you want to change the song or adjust the volume.
4. Strap the MP3 holder to your arm and thread the headphones cable underneath your shirt and up to your ears. Although you can run with the headphones cable dangling in front of you, you'll occasionally catch it with one hand and rip the headphones from your ears. As such, it's ideal to keep it safe underneath your clothing.
