Looking for fitness gadgets for women? Yeah, I know! Who doesn’t love new toys? Better yet, who doesn’t love USEFUL toys?
The fitness world and the tech world are coming together, bringing you more and more advanced gadgets to track your activity and workouts, improve your form, monitor your sleep, and much more.
Here are a few of the best fitness gadgets on the market now.
#1. FitBit
The FitBit brand is a classic at this point. What started out as a questionably made wristband that could count your steps has evolved into a highly specialized product line with offerings for every level of fitness and every budget.
The One is barebones, but still robust enough to help you meet your goals, tracking your daily activity and your sleep.
The Alta is an attractive upgrade, giving reminders and call/text alerts. The Blaze is the rockstar of the FitBit world.
It looks like a smartwatch, and has all the features you could wish for, including heart rate tracking, on-screen workouts, and music control.
It even has interchangeable bands, and performs the often-overlooked function of being a watch. Every FitBit gives you access to their support system and app, and syncs with the vast majority of phones, tablets, and computers so you can track your progress in incredible detail, while keeping the process easy and convenient.
#2. Pavlok
Pavlok is for creating or breaking habits. It’s a wristband that gives you a little shock when we give in to bad habits…like smoking, midnight snacking, or sitting too long.
It’s quite a smart little band, too. It can be triggered automatically when you program it, you can manually trigger it for a little zap (which is surprisingly just as effective as the automatic feature).
And it can be triggered remotely. This is a great social tool, for things like fitness challenges. Your friend can zap you to get you to do 20 squats when you’ve been sitting at your desk all day!
This device was initially crowd-funded, and it’s been getting rave reviews from users ever since its release.
#3. Jabra Sport Pace headphones
Music is a key element in most peoples’ workouts. When choosing headphones, sound quality is important, but so are comfort, sweat resistance, and having them actually stay on your ears during motions.
The Sport Pace model is an in-ear type of headphone, with loops that secure the buds around the ear.
The link between the ears is a lightweight cord that runs behind the neck, but since they are Bluetooth, there’s no cord to your device to get in your way.
They offer excellent sound quality, and even have a quick-charge feature if you forgot to charge them the night before.
Jabra has created an app to work with your workout, tracking your runs, offering fitness tips and advice, and giving you inspiration to keep going.
#4. Reliefband
My old cross country coach always used to tell us “If you feel like you’re going to puke, you probably are.”
Pretty sound advice, considering some of the sports we get into these days like CrossFit and obstacle course racing.
Many people experience nausea during and after workouts, for various reasons. This is an excellent drug-free solution to keeping your stomach calm.
#Gyenno Cup
Struggling to get enough hydration into your day? When you’re working out regularly, drinking enough water is an important factor in your health, and your fitness success.
Gyenno Cup helps you to solve this problem. It’s a Smart Cup with a screen, and it vibrates and gives you alerts when you haven’t been drinking enough.
You can program in specific water-drinking goals, and your cup will even alert you when it’s been sitting too long and needs cleaning, or if your liquid is too hot to drink.
#6. Garmin Index Smart Scale
You’re already weighing yourself, since it’s probably the easiest metric to track. That’s not enough when you have specific goals, though.
From their site, “It measures weight (lbs, kg, st), body mass index (BMI), body fat/water percentage, bone mass and muscle mass.”
This is a vast improvement over your basic bathroom scale, since it allows you to see your body composition and how it changes based on your types of workouts and your food choices.
#7. GymWatch
GymWatch is a revolutionary device that tracks your motions. It’s a complete performance diagnostic tool that you wear as a strap on your arm that integrates with an app on your phone or computer.
This is important because it can tell you, without a live coach or trainer, if you are improving your speed, flexibility, and form.
In this way it also helps you prevent injuries and focus on working specific muscle groups more effectively.
If you love to analyze your workouts, this is a must-have gadget.
#8. Quell Pain Relief
As a sister to the nausea relief device, Quell helps relieve chronic pain in a drug-free way. This is the answer many people have been looking for.
Since millions of people every day have to deal with pain, this device can offer the ability to be more active without having to take more drugs.
Pain limits many people in their pursuit of fitness, and this wearable tech works with your body, using electrodes and gentle stimulation instead of medications.
#9. Situ Smart Food Scale
You know the saying, “Abs are made in the kitchen and revealed in the gym.”
We’ve been talking about getting more active and tracking body composition, but the conversation would be incomplete without a way to track your food intake.
The Situ Smart Food Scale makes it incredibly easy to track your intake, including macronutrients like protein, fat, and carbs, as well as vitamins and minerals in your food choices.
It’s highly customizable to your own recipes and your favorite restaurants, and tracks your intake over time in conjunction with an app you can use on your devices.
