The warm weather is here. And here to stay. Also on the horizon we have the beach, pool and little clothing with which we usually go out in spring and summer. So get up off the couch and go outdoors or the gym to activate our metabolism this is something many will begin to do soon. Others already have the habit and start with an advantage.

Like it or not, technology and sports having going hand in hand for some time, and the portable music player is almost a required element for which you want to get on a bike, walk, run or just move a little.

We can use any, even your mobile phone is gaining ground thanks to specific applications, but we we are going to recommend some especially designed for sports. Here are our five music players for sports.

The first model we propose meets almost all the features you ask for in a sports music player: water-resistant and sweat, without the hassles of cables and good sound quality. No wonder its one of the Walkman series from Sony.

In addition, the Sony Walkman W253 has a very careful design, finished in various colors and you do not want to take them off. Sold in 2 and 4 GB models, with a starting price of 80 dollars. Other strengths of the Sony Walkman are Zappin technology to find the track you want quickly and the load of 3 minutes to achieve autonomy of 90 minutes almost instantly. Ideal for when we forgot to recharge the battery exhausted after 11 hours of autonomy.



If when we do not  need the sport player be particularly resistant to rain, but something more specialized, your model may be the new Zipy Go! Earbeating, a portable music player that features heart rate sensors in their own headphones.

This data is communicated to us by voice or on screen, and the distance traveled and calories burned. Its capacity is 2 GB and autonomy, very good: 30 hours.



As sport is associated with health, Philips has something to say about that field. Activa Portable's main feature is Its responsible for us to move the body to the rhythm from its music, which adapts to our pace.

The design is very striking, and is a weatherproof player. The headphones are of good quality and suitable for sport, something also very important or will we have dedicated ourselves to get some later.

The network of users and the voice system that informs us of our exercises are two points to consider in this Philips Portable Activa has 2 GB capacity and autonomy of 20 hours.



Another option if you want to stick to a specific model is to opt for sports kits. The Energy Sistem 1508 is a compact player, 8 GB of capacity and comes with a comfort armband for wearing while playing sports and also serves as protection against dust and rain.

It comes with special headphones, the USB port is integrated (retractable) and costs only 100 dolalrs.



We ended our selection with the fifth choice: iPod nano. Nor is it a specific model for sports, because it is rather delicate and the touchscreen is not very useful in motion. However, the availability of infinite covers to protect it and play sports with it and especially the integration with Nike + iPod system, puts it squarely in the race to be one of our favorite sports music player.

This combination is the most expensive option: 8 GB out of 230 dollars plus accessories.
