Wize Buying Guide for Working Out
If you're going to use your mp3 player primarily for working out, you won’t need many of the bells and whistles that come with expensive, top-of-the-line brands.

Large hard drives are not important unless you plan to use your mp3 player for more than an hour or two at a time. Marathon runners may want to invest in a device with more storage, but a fancy LCD display probably won't be necessary, unless you want to watch movies while you're jogging on the treadmill.

What is important is size and durability. Light-weight units that can resist a hard crash on the floor are a must. You may even want to look at a sports-specific model, such as the Oregon Scientific. These units are durable and waterproof and keep track of your pulse, your speed, calories burnt and much more.

These units may cost a little more than a standard music player, but for the serious sports enthusiast, it’s definitely worth a look.
