WINTER FITNESS

WORKOUT WONDERS

Sweati

Knowing when to

hydrate, when to

fuel and when to

ease off so you can

sustain a longer

effort is still largely

guesswork. But this

patch analyses your

sweat to give real-

time feedback on

blood lactate, sugar

and hydration levels.

Bioniq

Blindly swallowing

supplements is a

haphazard approach

to plugging vitamin

deficiencies. This

personalised health

platform uses AI

to determine which

biochemical markers

to test and the

supplements you

should take.

Tonal

One day we’ll all get

ripped at home with

virtual trainers... like

this wall-mounted

digital weight setup.

Lift up to 90kg with

all your stats auto-

tracked, and never

have to see another

human using the

hairdryer on their

genitals again.

Form Swim

Goggles

Nothing puts you
off your stroke like
trying to clock your
SWOLF score on a
watch in mid-swim.
These HUD-style
goggles put all your
stats right where you
can see them, letting
you crawl freely to
cardio supremacy,
while also making
you feel like a fighter
pilot in Speedos. Pair
them with a Polar
heart-rate sensor to
add your BPM to the
in-goggles display.

Stryd

with Wind

Detection

If running is your

cardio hell, maybe

you’re just going out

too hard, too soon.

Strapping on a Stryd

power-tracking

footpod could help

ease you in more

gently. The tiny

sensor attaches

to your laces like

a timing chip and

helps you run at

an effort level below

your breaking point,

whether that’s

up hills, in heat

or into the wind.

Tangram

Smart Rope

Studies show that 10

minutes of skipping

is as effective as half

an hour’s running.

Fast-foot rope

sessions are also

lower-impact and

improve coordination

and balance. This

‘smart rope’ uses

embedded LEDs to

float your jump stats

in real time in the air

in front of you like

a hologram. You can

track sessions, set

targets and follow

guided workouts.

Corner

Try throwing jabs and
crosses flat out for
three minutes and
you’ll earn sudden
respect for a boxer’s
cardio fitness.
Corner’s compact
boxing trackers strap
to each wrist to give
you seven hours’
drill data – to reveal
just how hard you’re
working and how
well you’re hitting.
You get punch type,
speed, power and
intensity stats all
sent in real time to
your smartphone.

Airofit

Getting out of breath

is an instant limiter

for any workout.

But your respiratory

muscles can be

trained just like your

guns. This smart

breathing trainer has

a mouthpiece and

an app-based virtual

coach that uses

guided resistance

drills to make those

respiratory muscles

(mainly the

diaphragm and

the intercostals)

stronger, increasing

lung capacity and

breathing power.
