10 Most Unusual Gadgets for Exercise

Modern technology never ceases to amaze year after year. A few years ago it was hard to imagine wireless headphones working. Now we enjoy our favorite music in them on the way to work, when a passerby on a gyroscooter whizzes by.

Sports aren’t lagging behind in terms of innovation either. And although it is possible to perform most exercises without technical equipment, some unusual gadgets will make training more effective and even more interesting. We tell you about the most advanced devices for sports.

Smart jump rope that counts the number of jumps

The gadget looks like an ordinary jump rope, just with a very stylish minimalist design. The range of functions is wide: the modern device counts the jumps made and displays the figure in the space in front of you. The device also synchronizes with your smartphone and can show in the air any word you set. Want to see not the number of jumps, but a motivational phrase? No problem – the task will be accomplished.

Alas, even new technology has flaws. Smart jumping rope, for example, sometimes poorly connects to the mobile application and has a built-in battery, which in case of breakage will be impossible to replace. The price, by the way, also cuts the eye: stores offer to buy the device for an average of 7 thousand rubles.

Sneakers with a sensor in the sole

You can buy one on the official adidas.com website.

Weight Watchers

With these, you don’t need a detailed examination to find out your BMI, body type, body water level, and body fat percentage. They can handle all of this in one weigh-in. The data is calculated after a weak electrical impulse passes through the body. By the way, only the weight figure is shown on the device itself, and all other characteristics are visible in the mobile app. Unfortunately, the scale can not withstand more than 150 kg.
