Using my iPod touch @ the Gym

Duct tape it to your wrist. Then cut a hole in the duct tape where the screen goes.

Until I can find a suitable case, I've just made sure to wear shorts that have a deep pocket and just keep it in the pocket. I'm waiting for an armband case to come out. If I need to change volume or anything, I just pull on the earbud cord to take it out, making sure I have a good grip on it when it's free of the pocket.

Spend the $70 for a shuffle at the gym. The best thing I ever did. Just click foward to skip to the next song. I update my "Gym playlist" every few days. I do not know why I ever did drap my 30 g ipod to the gym. SHUFFLE is my favorite ipod! I like my others too. Shuffle is just in a league of its own for workouts. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT!

Or buy a refurbished Shuffle for $49 from the Apple Online Store.

lol hahahha
very good, i was planning on doing that for this ipod touch also since i did it before on my ipod video. lol!

I agree. The touch isn't ideal for working out, especially because of the touch screen. You have to look at the screen to change the volume or song. With the traditional wheel, you can "feel" and adjust it with your thumb without looking.

Nano works too if you need a little more capacity.

this doesnt really have anything to do with the gym, but it kinda does i guess.
its a question about the ipod touchs volume...
so you running on a tread mill and ur ipods colume on, too loud... but your at the main menu with like safari, youtube, all of that .
is there a quick way to jump to the Now Playing song to then ajust the volume? Or do u have to go through the menus to get to it?

Double click the home button. 😉

Ummm...gee. I'm not sure I'd want to use the ipod touch in the gym, actually. I'd be too afraid of dropping the darn thing or just getting it messed up in general. 😟 I think there are armbands available for iPhones, so maybe an armband for the iPod touch will be available soon enough as well? Just a matter of waiting, I think. But yeah...if you have an older iPod on you, you may want to stick to using that instead for now.

Then use the Nano at the gym for now, that's what I do. It's controls are better suited than the Touch so you can pause it, change tracks, etc while it's in your pocket. Plus it's smaller and supports the Nike Plus accessory which the Touch does not.

I wanted to use my Touch in the gym, but until there are good cases and a remote available, it stays home and the nano comes to the gym.

One thing I was hoping for was streaming music via wifi, but since you can't do that anyway, it's not big deal.

When you are working out in the GYM, these are the armbands that I feel will be suitable.
