Fitness Technology Makes Working Out Cool
A few months ago Wired magazine covered fitness technology and the data tracking revolution. A month before that issue, I bought a Garmin Forerunner 305. I’ve made getting in shape a priority many times, but this time around it is so much cooler. Getting in shape is more interesting thanks to fitness technology like the GPS enabled heart rate monitors, advanced data tracking software and online fitness communities.
For me, it all started with Positively Chiropractic and Endura Coaching. They inspired me to work out smartly and efficiently, not just work hard, get tired and think I did enough. Anyone serious about a sport knows the ins and outs of training matter but for those of us who just want to “get in shape” smart training also plays a huge part in how successful we are with the programs and our ultimate health.
Smart training aside, fitness tech provides me with amazing metrics. And seeing metrics allows me to see progress. If you are a geek and care about your health, fitness tech is the kind of thing you should get into.
