Your new exercise buddy – your Ipod

I read a blip on Crunchgear about an interesting service called PumpOne.  The concept sounds great – you can download exercise routines to your Ipod or cellphone/blackberry/doohickey for use anywhere you are.  However, looking at PumpOne’s about page shows a service that seems kind of feature-starved to me – the download consists of a package of JPEG photos that show proper form for the exercises in each routine.  Maybe it’s just me, but it seems it would be much more useful to have a portable version of an exercise video – I wouldn’t need a constantly-playing video necessarily, but having an audio version of a realtime workout following the downloaded routine accompany the set of pictures would be nice.  At a glance, I see they have a video podcast available for download – I’m definitely interested in checking that out.
