Gadgets and gear to make outdoor workouts even more fun

Spring is already more than half over, so if you haven't moved your workout outdoors yet chances are you're planning on it soon. And even if you really love the gym and the treadmill, getting outdoors at least every once in awhile is a really good idea.

Outdoors and indoors each require their own separate set of equipment and gadgets, however. Sure, all you really need is yourself and a good pair of shoes (and a t-shirt and shorts, unless you want to get arrested). But to be honest with ourselves it's largely a game of motivation, so giving yourself the tools and gadgets you want (need?) is a good idea to make sure you keep at it.

Check out this slideshow from iVillage featuring 8 fun outdoor fitness gadgets and gear. My favorites are the ultra-absorbent Kenakai Bandana and the Firefly light up water bottle.
