TomTom Runner 2 Cardio + Music GPS Watch

This nifty gadget has a built-in heart rate monitor, can track your performance via GPS and tells the time. How far technology hath come! Some of us enjoy listening to 80s hairband music (Eye of the Tiger, anyone?) while pushing ourselves to the limit. Thanks to the Runner 2, you won’t have to take your phone along on a dangerous cycle trip and risk having it fall off the face of a cliff. Just plug in a pair of headphones and boom! Happy trails to you.

Nike Lightweight Arm Band

Have you ever come close to tripping over your headphones dangling from your phone while hitting the treadmill at monster speed? Those days have been put to rest thanks to Nike’s lightweight armband. Slip your smartphone into its pouch and strap it around that sexy bicep of yours. You’re good to go.

Civvio Waterproof MP3 Player 8GB +FM Tuner

This is the world’s smallest integrated music player suited for swimming. The device can store up to 1 000 songs and is waterproof up to a depth of three metres.

Polaroid Cube HD Action Lifestyle Camera

One of the best ways to improve your game is to watch yourself at play. With the action camera market booming and technology being invested in smaller, stronger recording devices, the Polaroid Cube offers tons of bang for your buck… at 1080P!

Garmin Foot Pod

Instead of relying on GPS tracking to calculate the distance you’ve travelled or many steps you took at whatever pace, the Garmin Foot Pod can be clipped to a running shoe or placed in a pocket. It’s ideal for indoor treadmill workouts where GPS is unavailable.
