i also can't exercise without music.I do my stationary daily for 30 mins to OLDIES.My fav is the 60's or  fast country songs.I don't know how to use my ipod

Walking without an Ipod leaves me to focus on how far I have to go and it slows time. When I walk with someone and talk during our walk I feel the same way. Talking on my cell phone helps it to go faster too and I can catch up with people at the same time:) My favorite is walking alone with my Ipod!

Hopefully you will get yours fixed so that you don't let it slow you down.

I'm with you, my music is vital to a great workout.  I would probably turn around and go home if my music quit too.  I choose each song specifically with my walks in mind...the beat and tempo keep me moving and flowing just right...without them I would be bored out of my mind.  Like you, it gives me that extra push and keeps me motivated.  I rate it a 10 of 10 for importance.  Hope you figure out what was wrong with your iPod so it doesn't happen again.  Best of luck on your next walk. 

Blessings, Bridget

I was starting my workout this morning with a 3.5 mile walk.  I was totally pumped and confident with my ipod on using the fitness program.  I'm just about a mile into it and my iPod dies of me.  It cuts off all music but says I have a full battery.  So what happened to my confidence and excitement?  It went down the toilet.  I turned around and walked back home.  Music has proven to be a push to exercise. It pumps me up to walk and while I'm walking gives me motivation to push further and further.
