Technology has made its way to the fitness industry in the form of health apps, wearables and more. These devices can help track your progress and other metrics that you may need to optimize your workout while staying fit in your condo at Tengah Gardens Residences. Here are useful tech accessories to support your daily run or jogging activity.

Headphones/Earphones

Music can motivate you. Investing in sweat resistant wireless headphones can go a long way. It is advised to select models that have ambient sounds so you are still aware of your surroundings even when wearing the headphones or earphones.

Smart Watch

Having a smart watch not only tells the time, it can also track your workout, heart rate, distance, pace, intensity and your location. These watches can be synced to apps on your phone so you can track your progress and other metrics during runs.

Running shoes

Shoes are important- you can’t just run around in slippers. Good running shoes protect you from injury and give you stability and cushioning. Wearing proper shoes can minimize injury risk and reduce the feeling of discomfort when you are running.

Hydration equipment

You must stay hydrated during running, especially on hot days. Invest in hydration packs, belts and water bottles for when you run and find out what works for you so you have hydration gear with you when you run. Water replaces the fluids that you lose when you sweat and prevents cramps, it also prevents your body from overheating.

Running Clothes

Instead of wearing cotton shirts, shirts that have technical fabrics allow you to wipe away sweat and keep you dry during your run. These clothes regulate your temperature and minimizes chafing when you run leading to irritated skin.

Massage Gun

Recovery is also important so investing in a massage gun can do wonders. After a run you may feel sore, massage guns can help loosen tight muscles and improve your recovery after a run.
