A heart rate monitor for beginners

Polar has long been known in the market of professional equipment, so there should be nothing offensive in the phrase “for beginners” – it just means that the FT1 model is a simple gadget with a minimum number of settings and functions.

Accuracy and build quality are, as always, at the highest level. The set is a watch + chest strap, working together during training: the heart rate is displayed on the display of the wearable gadget.

You can’t save the history, but many people don’t do it, but to keep track of your heart rate during training – this set is more than enough!

A cyclist’s headphones are a big risk of an accident, so Livall has built-in speakers and a microphone, making it a headset on one side and a remote Bluetooth speaker on the other.

Headphones for jogging

As we’ve already mentioned, when you’re training outdoors (whether it’s running or biking with friends in the park), it’s important to control outside sounds, car horns, etc.

Aftershokz has a similar position with Livall on the safety of athletes. But it works on a completely different principle – headphones and headsets of this brand are designed on the basis of bone conduction of sound.

Such headsets do not cover the ears, and the sound of music in the background is transmitted to the inner ear directly through the bone. And control, and music, and the ability to answer a call.

Suitable for runners, cyclists, and just for walking around town!
