1. A data collecting device that is selectively attachable to a tread base of a treadmill, the data collecting device capable of converting the treadmill that lacks certain data collecting and communicating features into a treadmill that is capable of tracking and transmitting data to an external computing device, the data collecting device comprising:

  • a foot fall sensing mechanism that collects foot fall data from the tread base;

    an inclination sensing mechanism that collects inclination data regarding the inclination of the tread base relative to horizontal; and

    a communication mechanism that selectively transmits the foot fall data and the inclination data to an external computing device;

    wherein the foot fall sensing mechanism, the inclination sensing mechanism, and the communication mechanism are portable, hand-held electronic mechanisms that are selectively attachable to the treadmill, wherein the data collecting device is a cellular telephone.
