1. Heart Rate Monitors - These aren't your grandmother's monitor. Worn like a watch, these devices not only provide your heart rate, but some also offer such information as the number of calories burned, upload your workout information to your computer, interval timers, and GPS locating.
   
   
2. WiFi Body Scale - Be accountable with this scale. Weigh yourself and measure your body fat percentage and the scale uploads your results directly to sites like Twitter or to your smartphone. You can track your success and keep yourself in check by announcing your measurements automatically, or if you prefer to be a bit more private, you can opt out of the auto upload.
   
   
3. FitBit - Keep track of your calories burned, steps taken, and even quality of sleep with this thumb sized clip on device. Clip it to your waistband, or simply put it in your pocket to stay on top of your fitness. Get within 15 feet of your computer and the FitBit transmits the data to the company's website.
   
   
4. Wireless Headphones - Pair these sweat resistant headphones with a Bluetooth device like your cell phone and avoid dealing with awkward wires as you exercise. There are even 3 different earbud sizes to choose from for a custom, comfortable fit.
