Strength Training v. Bodybuilding
- Kettlebell training combined with body weight exercises is all one needs. Give me a 24kg kettlebell and a pull-up bar and I'm set for life. No videos, no spinning classes, step aerobics, just good old strength training.

favorite from 2008
- I know it wasn't new in 2008, but I still love the collaborative effort of Nike and iPod, which resulted in a pedometer that tracks your runs, both on your iPod and Nike's website. All that information keeps me motivated to run!
