Section: Special Features, Interviews, Podcasts

This week I had the opportunity to interview Jeff Lovejoy, President and Founder of MotionLingo. Jeff spoke with me about the creation of MotionLingo’s Adeo Fitness Trainer; the first GPS-enabled training device to provide audio updates during your workout.

We also discussed The Final Sprint’s hands-on review of the Adeo and my plans to put it to the test by running with it throughout a spring half-marathon. Download the podcast to learn more about the Adeo, their MotionTrak training log and what the future holds for MotionLingo.

One of the best concepts of the year: Adeo Fitness Trainer by MotionLingo

Posted November 21st, 2006 at 2:00 PM by Jennifer Lipman

Section: Gear & Apparel, Gadgets & Acces.

Ever dreamed of having your own personal trainer or running coach that would work around your schedule, not cost a fortune and help you reach your goals? Well the concept behind the new Adeo Fitness Companion by Motion Lingo might just bring those dreams into reality.

Motion Lingo is a new and exciting company that specializes in GPS-enabled fitness products. The company’s flagship product is the ADEO (a-dee-oh), a device that’s about the size of the iPod mini and weighs only 2 ounces.

It automatically fades the music from your MP3 player to give you audible and programmed updates and then turns your music back up. These updates keep you motivated and informed on your progress; reporting on your pace, elevation, distance ran, calories burned, lap time and total elapsed time. The Adeo also keeps you updated on the battery status, time of day and your peak pace during the workout. Read the rest of this entry »
