Sometimes you need to relax and get rid of negative emotions. So maybe you decide to watch a movie, or exercise. If you prefer training, running is the absolute best. To make jogging more beneficial, use these tools.
Earphones for Running
An international team of physiologists staged an experiment. With 30 athletes who regularly exercised, they investigated the relationship between listening to music during exercise and improved performance.
They found that athletes whose pace of training at a heart rate of 125 beats per minute had 15% higher endurance scores than those who trained in silence.
Many of runners prefer to train in silence. The rest need earphones for music. The best choice would be wireless Bluetooth earphones, which gets rid of the annoying wires.
There are classic models on the market that fit over your head and cover your ears completely, smaller models with ear buds and a wire in between, and separate earbuds. It’s best if the models are waterproof. This will keep them from breaking when you run in the rain or sweat from an intense workout.
Wrist Phone Cases
The best tool for those who take their phone with them on a run and listen to music is an arm phone case. It’s really best not to hold your phone in your hand, as it can affect the technique. A phone case also offers protection from dirt and rain.
The smartphone is placed in the pocket of the case with a transparent window, and the velcro fastens the case to the hand. The case is attached to the shoulder. That is where it fits best.
Running Belts or Bags
Most runners take their house keys and phone with them outdoors. A jogging bag is necessary if you wear fitness gear without any pockets.
Belt bags for runners vary in size, but they are all small and flat. So, they don’t create extra weight, don’t interfere with movement and fit as snugly on the body as possible.
The simplest models consist of a single pocket, small on the face of it, but really roomy. They will fit both keys and your phone. More functional models allow you to put more things into the bag. The next option is a bag that allows you to put a bottle of water.
Heart Rate Sensor
This device monitors the heart rhythm of the athlete. It is worn on the chest and reads the heart rate by means of impulses. For many workouts it is very important to keep the heart rate in a certain zone, so for this purpose, this tool is great.
Heart rate monitoring is necessary, even for beginners, because it will make training more effective. Such a gadget is also suitable for high-intensity workouts.
Training Mask
It is a sports gadget that restricts the flow of oxygen during exercise. Such hypoxic training is useful for improving endurance as well as improving the muscles of the respiratory system.
The device is a mask with valves for inhalation and exhalation with adjustable resistance. In addition to training the breathing muscles, it allows you to learn how to breathe correctly during exercise.
