Just like my earphones, I expect my gadgets and gizmos to stay in place while I work out, too. Because most people incorporate the use of an iPod during their fitness routines — whether that's a nano (fourth, fifth, or sixth gen), a shuffle, or even an iPod touch — we can all relate when it comes to keeping our iPods in a safe and secure spot while we work out.
