iFit for iPhone

While we are with PRODUCTS & APPAREL, knowing of course that this month we are featuring Smart Phones that have Smart Watch Devices &/or Applications that can facilitate Wellness offerings and better your efforts. 

One of the first to come out with an AWESOME application was Apple, with an app you can use on your iPad or iPhone....its called...

This one seems a lot more complicated, but for excellent reasons. This program and its devices, so far as we are aware, do not come with a Smart Watch, as with some of the other brands, yet, but it does have a wrist worn device that obviously tells the time, but is more of a calorie tracker, which the other devices in its class don't do, and it has the standard pedometer, distance calculator and sleep monitor. 

The iPhone 5S has its own heart rate monitor, so even though the wrist device doesn't have it, you can still monitor your heart rate before, during and after training. 

Whats sets the iFIT program apart is the fact the it has the added benefit of the calorie tracker and food programmer, and Apple has integrated its programming software with many gym equipment manufacturers so that you can use the program and track your workouts and store the information on your phone. 

Everything you do, you can now track, whether in the gym, or on the road, or sitting at the dining room table. It is a phenomenal way to track your life and stay on target, as you can keep score every step of the way. 

Google maps is even included in the software, where your outdoor routes are recorded, including time and distance and actually mapping. You can then go back and re-organise your routing and reconfigure how you train and where you need to improve.

They even have their own training program videos, both for routing on stationary equipment visuals, and actual workout videos, aerobic, strength, and sports training workouts....UN-BE-LIEV-ABLE!

Its too much to explain on here, but PLEASE go and look at the www.ifit.com website and really investigate it...this could be all you need to get your life and wellness on track. 

Otherwise contact your nearest Apple iSTORE for more, find them at Apple iSTORE SA

SONY XPERIA SMARTWEAR

Gadgets and technology cannot be ignored when it comes to enhancing wellness, especially when they can assist with how and when you exercise, providing tracking systems and online programs that push you forward.

This month in PRODUCTS & APPAREL, we are focusing on Smart Watches that can be used with Smart Phones...remember the day's when you watched far-fetched futuristic television that had watches that could run your life, let alone tell the time???

Well we are here, and IT IS FANFRIGGENTASTIC!!!!

We are not here to say which concept is better, as you need to investigate each product for yourself, what we are doing is giving you more choice and showing you things you may not know exist, and things that can facilitate wellness.

What we love about the Sony Smartwear device and the LIFELOG program that links it to your phone, is that it can literally track your life and your movements.
Its optimised for the Xperia Smartphone and Tablets, but can be used on other Android devices, we believe stay with Sony here.

So how it works is it has a sensor that automatically tracks whether you have been running, walking, cycling or just watching a movie, it counts steps, monitors speed and can even calculate your sleeping patterns.
This we think is cool, because the watch can decide for you when you need to wake up.

Obviously you need to set up the program as to what suits you best, but this aspect tracks things automatically for you, ANNNNND you don't need to carry your phone with you, it automatically updates when your are near it, after your run, walk or calorie burning pop-corn eating marathon. (Oh it does that too, count your calories)

Be careful, the Lifelog program helps you spy on yourself, tracking everything, what music you listened to, what photos you took, who and how often you spoke to someone, and when...be careful, you might not want to know these things. Actually, this is quite cool too because you can monitor personal patterns, some of which you may want to change.

We think you should investigate further, especially if you are a SONY fan!
