Gadgets that get you going

Shape, Sept, 2007

Whoever said electronics are turning us into a sedentary society obviously hasn't seen these three great new products, which all make staying healthy and active a snap.

A NEW WAY TO TRACK YOUR WORKOUT

BiM by Bones in Motion ($10/month; bimactive.com) technology lets your cell phone track the distance covered during your outdoor workout, including your speed and the calories you burned. BiM is available from service providers such as Sprint, Verizon, and Nextel.

A POCKET-SIZE CAMCORDER

Stash the Flip Video Ultra camcorder (from $15; theflip.com) in your gym bag and use it to check out your golf swing or swimming form. The USB arm connects to your computer; you can also plug it into the TV for instant replays.

A CAMERA THAT NEVER TAKES A BAD PICTURE

The HP Photosmart R837 digital camera ($229; hp.com) has a 3-inch display and advanced functions (usually found only on more expensive cameras) that let you personalize snaps from your 10k with borders, colors, and special effects.
