“If you’re a serious runner, you’ve no doubt already heard of Nike’s excellent pairing with Apple’s iconic music player. What you may not know is that now the system is compatible with several other workouts such as elliptical machines, stair steppers or stationary bikes,” Brian Walker reports for TheStreet.com.
