Yamaha BODiBEAT Player: Listen to music in time with fitness workout

By: Mark Chubb | July 18, 2007

This one is pretty cool, if you enjoy music and you love to get fit at the same time then this gadget is the one for you. There are many portable devices out there on the market from Yamaha but this one is a cool one, the new Yamaha BODiBEAT will be a major hit with people who run or workout because this DAP arm mounted device has an accelerometer that links to the earphone-mounted pulse monitor which means the BODiBEAT will play music tracks that will match your workout rhythm.

The Yamaha BODiBEAT player will automatically change songs as you speed up and change songs if you slow down, so the faster you run the faster the song choice and visa versa. Yamaha have already pre-loaded beat loops that will automatically remix themselves at every tempo to cover any gaps, the BODiBEAT will be in gyms before the end of the summer for about $299.
