Hexoskin – The Future of Fitness Tracking

h1

We’ve all heard of the Fitbit and the Flex, there are a few health monitors on the market these days. But, for the most part,  they all seem pretty similar. I know there are some differences that might help you decide which might be the best fit for you… but let’s add one to the mix, and it’s not a bracelet, it’s a wearable garment that seems to raise the bar, when it comes to what we’ve come to expect from a health and fitness monitor.

Welcome Hexoskin, an all-in-one, comfortable sports garment with almost undetectable built-in sensors that connects easily to your smart device, and when coupled with intuitive apps, gives you real time health and wellness information, track your progress and analyzes your performance.

With this unique garment, you can gain real-time access to information that can analyze performance and wellbeing—right now, over time and you can access it from anywhere. Hexoskin can measure your heart rate and heart rate recovery, breathing rate and volume, your step count and cadence, your activity intensity and calories burned, as well as your estimated Vo2 max (the maximum capacity of an individual’s body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise)

So forget about bracelets, wearable technology in the form of a machine washable, water resistant, smooth seamed garment, stands out as the most practical and comfortable system of its kind. It can give you a leg up on your training goals and, Hexoskin can record up to 157 hours of data without needing to be connected to any device. If you want to be in on the future of wearable fitness monitoring, check out the Hexoskin.com website and pre-order your system for around 400 bucks.

Withings Aura could help improve your sleep pattern

withings-auraDo you find it difficult trying to sleep every night when you turn yourself in? Well, some of us are able to go to bed in the blink of an eye, even when there are so many things to think about and consider, as well as going through stressful situations in life. Well, here is the Withings Aura which could very well prove to be a positive help to your sleeping patterns.

Just how does the Withings Aura work? For starters, it is a cleverly designed system which will not only be able to monitor, but also, (fingers crossed) help improve your sleep experience. The Withings Aura is capable of discreetly recording your sleeping environment, helping provide you with a complete understanding of your sleep patterns. It relies on revolutionary as well as scientifically-validated light and sound programs, where the Withings Aura will be able to positively impact your wake-up and fall-asleep experience, as both of these are instrumental in improving your sleep cycles and overall well-being.

The soft and discreet sleep sensor will slip under your mattress, where it will then work in synchronization with the sensitively designed bedside device. When working in tandem, the two units will record and monitor an array of factors so that you would have a deeper understanding of your sleeping experience. The sleep sensor itself will focus on personal patterns (body movements, breathing cycles and heart rate) while the bedside device screens your bedroom environment (noise pollution, room temperature and light levels).

You then end up with scientifically-validated light and sound programs which will adapt itself to your personal body clock. Apart from that, it has multi-color LED dimming lighting technology that will help maximize the proven correlation between lighting wavelengths and secretion of melatonin, which is the hormone responsible for the sleep-wake cycle. Gentle sounds will wake you up, instead of a jarring ring. The Withings Aura is available later this spring for $299 apiece, where it will be accompanied by a free mobile application.
