Getting fit has become so much more than sweating it out at the gym. The introduction of technology to health and fitness has changed up the game by allowing fitness enthusiasts to get more information about their routines and get the most out of exercise. With fantastic gadgets, like some that are listed below, users can now measure things such as their heart-rates, sleeping patterns and form without a trainer or a locker full of equipment.
Umoro One
This bottle is a fantastic purchase for yourself or makes a great gift for a gym addict. The bottle functions like any other bottle, but with a clever added extra. With a simple push of a button, it can release up to 1.5 scoops of your favourite protein powder. It’s ideal for the gym during workouts, especially if you like having that post workout drink without having to carry multiple bottles around. The ball compartment that holds the supplement also doubles as a mixer to aid harder to dissolve powder drinks.
It’s available on amazon.co.uk for £18.99 with free shipping to Ireland.
