How to Calibrate the Nike+ SportBand

The Nike+ SportBand combines a wrist band with a sensor that fits under the insole of specially-designed shoes. The SportBand allows you to record information about your running and walking workouts. It measures calories burned, distance, pace and time. Although the band comes pre-calibrated, you can make the sensor more accurate by calibrating it yourself.
