Jogging with ipod touch

Hi, I am brand new to this and have a question regarding using my ipod touch when jogging, working out or walking on the tread mill.
Will the ipod be damaged internally, the "insides", from the jostling-jarring that is bound to happen. I will either have it in my jacket pocket, pants pocket or holding it in my hand.
I appreciate your help

No.

There are no moving parts in the ipod touch. It does not have a spinning hard drive.

Ok, great. Then I should be good to go. I appreciate your help with this. As I say, this is all new to me.

Seems we have come a long way from the boom box on the shoulder.

Thanks again

Glad it helped.

The ipod classic still has a hard drive, so it may experience issue with jogging/bouncing.

The ipod touch/nano/shuffle are good for jogging/exercise/sports as they do not use hard drives.

Enjoy your ipod.

I remember being amazed with my first Sony Walkman. It is a different world now.

The big danger with such storage while jogging will be having it drop out of your clothing or out of your hand. Make sure the iPod is well secured; in a zippered pocket, or with an armband holder, good belt/waistband clip, neck strap or something similar. Dropping your iPod will not be good for it's disposition. 😉
