When the temperatures drop and the daylight hours are shorter, working out outdoors becomes less fun. This is no reason to avoid getting your heart pumping. Here are five tips to keep you fit when the cold weather is trying to make you lose motivation.
1. Apple Watch Series 4
Apple’s latest fitness wearable is priced at $399. The Apple Watch Series 4 includes several features that make this a great workout tool.
The watch can be used to challenge your friends to a fitness competition or to remind yourself to record each workout as you begin. This feature is essential for anyone trying to stay fit, as it is a way to track your fitness level. One app even offers new yoga routines.
The watch contains the standard tools to measure your daily activities, exercise time and many other metrics. Apple claims that its watch will be capable of taking an EKG at the end 2018.
2. Nokia Body+
The $99.95 Nokia Body+ will help you maintain your strength and avoid dreading the winter months when it comes to stepping on the scale.
The device is compatible with Apple’s Health App and the Health Mate app. You can get customized readings depending on your height, weight, age, and gender. The device will also reveal your body fat, water content, BMI, and other important measurements.
3. Vi Sense
You can link Android and iOS devices to Vi, as well as apps like Spotify Premium, Apple Health Kit, Strava and Google Fit. You can also use the device to listen to music stored on your phone.
Vi’s chief allure is its built-in trainer function. The device’s artificial intelligence tracks your workouts and can push you to gun for that final set of reps. It will tell you when you’re hitting your fat-burning zone and can even play rhythms to keep your workout on track. The device can also be used to make phone calls.
4. Liftium
Weightlifting is not possible to log on an Apple Watch and can be hard to do using a pen and a piece of paper. Liftium allows you to record all these details and create your workout routines. It costs just $2.99. Track workouts, sync with an iPhone, and send data to HealthKit.
5. Hyfit Gear
Hyfit is an assortment of resistance bands which can be used as a mobile gym. The set includes a wrist-tracker that tracks your reps and the resistance of the bands, as well as monitoring your heart rate.
The resistance bands can be set to a weight between 22 and 44 pounds. The wrist tracker also features wireless charging and a battery life of eight hours. App-companion device even includes workout videos. Pre-ordering Hyfit for $119 is a great deal compared to the $199 retail price.
