    I consider myself pretty in-shape, relatively speaking. But just because I'm not huffing and puffing after two minutes on the elliptical or on the verge of a heart attack while jogging on the treadmill doesn't mean I have an easy time motivating myself to even get to the gym in the first place! Unless you have a ton of self-discipline, a particularly fitness-savvy gym buddy, or a ridiculously good-looking personal trainer, it can be tough to get excited about working out, no matter the level of your athleticism. And even if you try to work out outside of the gym to spice things up, it's easy to get fed up trying to keep track of your workout, time your jogs, and know offhand how many calories you've burned. Enter today's hottest workout gadgets, including sports bras with built-in heart rate monitors, calorie-counting GPS wristwatches, and iPhone bike mounts (because let's face it -- exercising just isn't worth it without some tunes to pump you up). There's no need to keep it old-fashioned with your fitness regime when technology's rapid advancements turn an activity you'd normally dread into... well, something almost fun! Take a look at the slideshow to see how you can technologize your training sessions!

    If you've ever had to replace a waterlogged cell phone (or two) due to an unplanned dip in the toilet, this handy little invention has your name written all over it! The MobiGrip device leash, a stick-on mini-bungee that loops comfortably around your digits, is the cure to all butter finger-inflicted disasters that leave your poor dropped phone either cracked on the sidewalk or slowly fizzling out in a puddle of water. You just peel and stick the little button to the back of your cell, PDA, iPod, digital camera, or other accident-prone handheld and it's safe, sound, and secure in your palm no matter how klutzy you are or sweaty your palms get. You could even use the springy loop to clip your valuables to your belt or to your handbag's wallet clip for extra mishap prevention! As long as you're not careless enough to go for a swim with your gadget still looped to you, you may find yourself sticking with the same unharmed cell phone for a record duration of time!


    Price: $9.95 each, with discounts if you buy 6 or more

    Not all shopping is fun and games, trust me. I don't need to tell you about things that are fun to shop for- I do that all the time- but then are things that are completely unfun to shop for. Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple: foot cream, travel wallets, socks, headsets. All of these things fall into the category of "Things You Don't Necessarily Want To Buy But Probably Should." Here's a solution: get them for free! Earlier this week we told you how you could enter to win a Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth Headset, worth $99.95. Want to know if your entry was the winner? Read on to find out!

    Hot In The Hive: LaCie iamaKey USB Flash Drive

    I have to say that the first USB flash drive I ever owned was a whopping 512MB model. I know, I know, how did I ever fit my entire life in that little storage device? I could only use it to hold essays and other documents to print at the school lab and maybe a few song files too. The worst part was that it was terribly designed to boot! It came with a little cap that you could attach to your keychain, but one day I discovered I still had the cap and no flash drive. So maybe it was a good thing it only held 512MB of information! Anyway, I've happily moved on to greener pastures with a bigger and better flash drive, but finding the LaCie iamaKey USB Flash Drive has made me seriously consider buying another one. The key shaped flash drives comes in either 4GB or 8GB models with a water- and scratch-resistant connector, assuring that your files will stay safe. It's all one piece, so just string it along with your real keys and you're good to go!


    Price: $26.99-36.99

From a Laptop Essentials kit for the working dad on the go to a portable electric shaver that doesn't even require electricity (what?!), there's a whole array of nifty newfangled products that don't necessarily need a word-for-word analysis of the manual in order to operate, if he even so much as glances at it at all! Even if your pops swears by the simpler times from back when he was your age, he won't be able to resist the handiness of this digital measuring tape gadget that memorizes your measurements for you! After all, he can't deny that his own memory could use a little assistance these days! Check out the slideshow for more of the season's coolest gadget gifts for Dad, just in time for Father's Day!
