As the year winds down and we wave goodbye to 2013, it will soon be time to start thinking about our New Year’s resolutions. Many people will choose running, and with its huge health benefits, it’s easy to see why.
To start running, make sure you invest in a pair of quality running shoes. Nike running shoes are a great choice, as the brand is renowned for producing quality items that stand the test of time. Millet Sports stocks a fantastic range of these shoes, with something to suit anyone’s tastes.
Getting motivated can be difficult when the weather is cold and bleak. If you’re planning on getting active in the New Year, here are some essential sporting gadgets that you should sneak onto your Christmas list to provide you with all the encouragement you’ll need.
Nike+ Fuelband SE
The Nike+ Fuelband SE is a wristband worn to monitor your body’s movements throughout the day, whether it’s at the gym or dancing in a nightclub. Your movements are then converted into a figure called NikeFuel. This is a measurement of how active you are.
You can set yourself NikeFuel targets that will help keep you motivated. Sync the band with the specially designed iPhone app and you will receive reminders to get active, as well as real-time feedback. You can even set up a competition with your friends, to see who can be the most active.
Adidas miCoach
Nike’s rival, Adidas, has recently launched its miCoach watch. Available from the November 1st, this clever colour screen gadget tracks your heart rate, as well as providing work-out statistics such as how far and how long you have exercised. There’s also a wealth of animations of various repetitions and circuits that you could build into your training plan.
If that’s not enough, there’s even a built-in Bluetooth-enabled music player, so you don’t have to worry about having a separate mp3 player with you. Pack it full with your favourite tunes and get moving.
Jabra Sport headphones
Standard in-ear headphones are a pain to use when it comes to exercising. If they aren’t falling out, the wires are getting tangled. Bluetooth headphones are a much better option. Hook these Jabra Sport headphones up to your compatible iPod and enjoy exceptional sound quality without any wires. The specially designed shape means that they will sit comfortably around your ears through the duration of your exercise regime.
