Susan 111 Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 What is your favourite fitness app, and/or your favourite fitness gadget, and why? I'm conducting some research for the writing of a magazine article on fitness fanatics' favourite apps and gadgets. Gadgets should be available in SA. Any feedback will be appreciated!
BicyclePower Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Have a look at the cycleops virtual training app, there is a thread on here about the online racers hubbers get up to
BarHugger Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Depends on who you ask..........market specific. Some okes have all the gadgets (including even a thingymagic that tells you how much fluids you have consumed during a ride), others have only a system to show distance and time, while others just give it horns and "listens" to their body. Maybe look at the different personality types and if that plays a role in the apps and gadgets used. Some people really get caught up in all the data and information that can be provided by these utilities..........just to fall in a paralysis by analysis trap. There is also the question of using all these resources seperatly or combined for training and/or racing.........and that is another story all on its own. Hope you find some interesting info.

arendoog Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I like my polar v800 and the polar flow website .I also use strava , but you cannot use your phone on a MTB while riding or running
.Heinz Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 My Mio Cyclo 505HC is the best thing ever. And for multi sport I use my suunto-ambit2. With all my activities uploaded to moves count andand strava!!
BarHugger Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 I like my polar v800 and the polar flow website .I also use strava , but you cannot use your phone on a MTB while riding or runningYip you can. Endomondo. I personally use MyTracks......and it can be connected to everything, from GPS (distance, speed, elevation, etc.), to heart rate, right through to cadence even. It even allows you to take pics and GeoTag them. Works like a bomb.
Veebee Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 polar rcx5 mainly for heart rate, only reason I got it was because Due south was clearing old stock and I got the ride bundle for R2400. oh and Strava...
