Connected Footwear by Under Armour

These Under Armour Velociti Wind shoes are under the category of running on UA's website, I have no idea how the are as far as comfort etc. they are when running. I only walk these days and they are perfect for walking on the treadmill or on the footpath. The thing that really piqued this geeks interest was that they connect to an app, the app shows some great information from your walking and running exercises.

Polar H9 Heart Rate Monitor Review

I thought it time to invest in a decent chest strap heart rate monitor, my Ticwatch Pro 3 of course tracks heart rate beats per minute, but it doesn't connect to my workout equipment. The Concept 2 Model D Rower can accept heart rate monitors and so can my Lifespan APEX Treadmill, luckily the Polar 9 Chest strap will connect to both machines or their apps. The PM5 on the Concept 2 Rower now shows a heart symbol signifying when the chest strap is connected and also adds the heart rate to the log book entries, wonderful, just wonderful. I'll be interested to see how the H9 goes while wearing on an outside walk as I mainly workout indoors on the treadmill and Rowerg.

Concept 2 Indoor Rowing at Home

I've owned a Model D Concept 2 Row Erg for a few years, I will never sell it, well unless Concept 2 release a better rowing machine, why, because it's the ultimate exercising device one can use. It's industrial, they don't yet make a version that comes in a pink colour scheme (hoo fucking ray) it's a serious bit of kit, it's strong, it's long, it does exactly what it's designed to do, offer an intense indoor rowing workout, it absolutely achieves that aim. Have I used it everyday since I've owned it? NO! I primarily bought the Model D for rehab after a lost the use of both legs, luckily temporarily (3 months), I did my research on low impact exercise equipment, rowing seemed like just the ticket, sitting down, very leg orientated with of course good upper body use as well. More to come...
