Hey out there!  I wrote a blog just the other day about exercising while blogging - Bloggercise.  Although there was some interest in where to get the nifty gadget AirDesk www.airdesks.com I didn't hear from any of you with any more ideas on combining exercise and blogging.  Given that it seems like we could all easily spend 2 hours a day (if not more) blogging away - there must be some other ideas on how to work out and blog at the same time.

Here's one to get the creative juices rolling.  How about using Dragon NaturallySpeaking to record your blog thoughts by voice while you're working out - then use the software to throw the "draft" on the screen for your fine tuning prior to posting.

We Active|Rainers need to be the healthiest bloggers out there!  Let's here some innovative ideas to make it a reality!

Suzanne, What happens if I am breathing to heavliy from exercising, it won't hear my words. Can I convey my thoughts mentally?  Otherwise... I love the idea, but it won't work for me. Too many mindless interruptions.... lol  Please come up with another idea... lol

Hi Suzanne. Ok, how about this. Blogging as a reward. Half hour of treading? Then half hour of AR. Half hour of resistance training?  The reward is pie er, half hour of AR.

Ok, second idea; use the cute Air Desk thingy, and sit on an exercise ball; supposedly that is good for the abs? Just a thought

 Being a techie, I remember Dragon from years ago when they were pioneering speech recognition so they've probably got it down by now but... My only cure for over-blogging is self control and budgeting my time... work, play, exercise, etc...

No comment on blogging. But I think having a Podcast is awesome. You can make a show and let people download it onto their Ipods and workout to it....

Dragon has gotten pretty good over the past few years, they even have a tech versions that cancatch soem of the mroe technical terms. 

Great for recording podcasts too!

Great idea for multitasking. I'm sure if it's not writing our own blogs there must be something out there that can convert text to speech? That way we could at least download the previous day's AR archive and listen to it while in the car, walking the dog, etc.
