Fitness Gadgets

[TAZ]

Anyone here use the fitness related gadgets coming out lately. I use a HR monitor during my workouts coupled with my iPhone and the polar beat app for tracking my workouts and LoseIt to track my food intake. Both have helped me stay on take with my weightloss goals.

Anyone use the Up or Fitbit or Nike Fuel. Have a birthday coming and needs to get a list put together. My wife refuses to buy me more ammo. Said I have to find something different this year. Thinking of a fitness band on the low end and a GPS watch on the upper end n

I am considering buying a fibit bracelet thing.

I use a heart rate monitor now but its not up to par.

A running buddy uses the fit bit wrist band. It's calorie/distance estimates are +/- 10% compared to my gps watch so it isn't too bad on shorter runs. Anything over 5 miles and I'd rather have gps.

You can find the garmin forerunner 110 (gps + nice features) for around $100 if you shop around.

Yeah, Garmin Forerunner is the way to go.

I've always used Suunto products for tracking anything. I also use their app MoveScout since I run, climb, dive, mountain bike, all sorts of stuff I can record it.

I don't buy into these new bands things, nothing more than a modern pedometer. I do more than run during my workouts, therefore something that merely counts calories and what not based off running as the base are of no use to me. I stick with HR monitors and will occasionally use my gas mask as an elevation style device to limit oxygen flow. Other than that I invest in stuff like GORUCK sandbags or something I can travel with and still get great workouts in.

Nike Fuel Band was somewhat cool. Since it only tracks "walking and running" because its basically a pedometer and it wasn't really for me. If I lifted weights with it on for 2 hours it would say I only burned 100 calories because it didn't know what I was doing. I wore it while teaching F2S classes and it showed just how much I walked around in a single day.

The battery pretty much made it suck. I had to take it off and plug it in every night or it was just about useless the next day.

Sold it on EE about a year after buying.

I use an interval timer app on my Iphone. I have an HR monitor I used for a time as some research i was doing, but don't use it much any more. Why not add something less gadget like and something more for actual exercise?

Depending on budget, going from least to most expensive, sand bags, and or a TRX trainer, and or a Prowler sled.

The two best fitness "gadgets" I have purchased recently are a Gym Boss interval timer and a pair of Fat Gripz. Short money and they get a ton of use. Just got back from my interval run about half hour ago. The Fat Gripz are just outstanding IMO. I heard about both of them on this Forum ( thanks Will ) too. I have a TRX trainer as well, but don't put that into the gadget category.

Have not used the Gym Boss since i got the interval app on the Iphone, but do keep one in the gym bag in case I didn't bring the phone and or, don't wanna worry about the phone.

All good.

Did you see FatGripz now have the Extreme? Not for those new to FatGripz, but for those used to thick handle bar training/FatGripz, that want to take it up a notch:
