Everything today is concerned about his/her health. Everybody wants to know how much they burn calories, how much and how well they sleep, what should be there fitness routine etc etc. So, here are some fitness gadgets that will help you.
Finis Neptune
In almost every sport, music can be a rather powerful
motivation to run or cycle that extra mile but never to swim that extra lap,
until now. Like Sportiiiis, the Finis Neptune is secured onto the user’s
eyewear, in this case, swimming goggles. This device uses bone conduction
audio to relay music to the user’s ears, without the need for ear buds. The
device also makes music louder and clearer when submerged underwater. It also
comes with a built-in 4GB of storage space, a rechargeable battery that
lasts 8 hours and an OLED screen with music controls. [$159.99]
HAPIfork
Can’t really manage your portions by sheer willpower?
HAPIfork is a gadget that can help you reduce your eating pace. The
sensors notify you through tiny vibrations when you’re ‘speeding’. It
can also track your eating duration, the amount and intervals of ‘fork
servings’ per minute. All your data can be tracked with the accompanying app
and transferred with a mini USB. The ‘brain’ of the HAPIfork is hidden in the
body but can be removed for safe washing. [$99]
Trace
Most fitness trackers are for moderate sports enthusiasts,
those who run or jog to stay fit but most of the trackers that they use may not
be suitable for extreme sports junkies. The latter would need Trace, an advanced
tracker for action sports like surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding. Trace
is built for action sports and meant to be mounted on the board from
where it would log in the tricks you’ve landed, your speed, maximum height and
sync all of the data with a smartphone app. The app is also social, allowing
one to see what fellow junkies are up to with their own stunts. [$169]
Fitbit Aria
Here’s a high tech weighing scale ideal for weight watchers.
It tells you more than just what you weigh. The Fitbit Aria can track the body
fat percentage and Body Mass Index (BMI) of up to 8 users, then
transfer the data wirelessly to your computer for your progress management. The
data it collects is supported and works well together with many other apps.
It’ll sync to your smartphone to notify you when you have achieved a fitness
goal. Earn achievement badges to share with your friends. [$129.95]
Sportiiiis
Into cycling? Checking on your stats while you cycle is not
only a hassle but may also be dangeruos. Track your heart rate safely and
accurately with Sportiiiis. The simple Head-Up Display (HUD) has 6 LED to
indicate your heart rate. Cyclists can mount it on their sunglasses and
receive their stats via voice prompts which relay your speed, heart rate,
cadence and power. Its company does sell its own line of monitors that work
together with, Sportiiiis but it is also compatible with products from
other manufacturers. [$149.99]
Griffin Adidas MiCoach armband
If you are using your smartphone while you exercise, whether it's to track your
activity or just to listen to music, it's worth getting an armband to keep it
in. Having a phone strapped to your arm might feel a little awkward at first
but it makes it easy to see the screen, change songs or check your exercise
statistics without fumbling in your pocket. This one from Griffin works very
nicely and is available for a range of devices. (£19.99)
