The Holidays have passed and you find you’ve put on some serious weight. You know you should already be hitting the gym, but you just don’t have the motivation. Here’s where Phillips Activa comes into play.

The new Activa personal music player from Phillips does more than just cater to your auditive needs, it’s more of a tiny, stylish gym partner. Thanks to the patented Direct Life activity monitor developed by Phillips, Activa really knows when you need a hand and shouts out word of encouragement to make sure you finish your training session.

The Activa also sports another cool feature called Tempo Music. What it does is browse your music library and pick an appropriate rhythm to correspond to your training. Also, when you’re done you can use it to calculate the calorie and fat burn rate, via the built in PC software.

The Phillips Activa will be available come April, at a price of $130.
