Tech, Gear, and Applications

I thought I would share some of the gear and technology that I use personally, with clients, and in the classes that I teach.  I prefer basic, efficient, and useful over flashy and “cutting edge”.  I stick to the stuff that works!

Gear that I use daily with clients and classes:

• Casio Ladies Solar Powered Digital Sports Watch
• FitBit Surge
• Polar Heart Rate Monitor – no chest straps required – which makes this much more user-friendly than past models used with large groups.
• Garmin Forerunner 110
• VHI Kits

General applications that I use with clients and classes:

• VO2 Max estimation (Rockport Walk Test) App
• Tabata App
• Seconds Pro App
• Map My Run App
• 5K Runner App

Apps for healthy eating strategies:

• Fooducate App
• Myfitesspal App

Music memberships / applications to use with class and clients:

• Rdio
• Spotify

Apps that I promote for safety:

• Kitestring
• Road ID
• bSafe

Miscellaneous:

• Wodify 
  This is an application that I use regularly because my gym uses it for members to track performance. I believe it is only available for clubs/gyms to use but I could be wrong. There may be something available to use on your own.

Please share your favorites. I am always looking for new ways to implement technology to be more efficient and support accountability!
