Best Fitness Apps For Heart Rate Training

I recently did a set of Videos for the Scosche Rhythm+ Armband Heart Rate Monitor so users can visually see how to connect the Rhythm+ to 5 of the best Fitness Apps.  Each app will connect to the Rhythm+ through the Bluetooth Smart Connection.  Users can follow the instructions on the videos and see how to connect to their favorite apps as well as try new apps to exercise with.

One thing I find interesting is the different data sets and use cases for each app.  Strava is very GPS Centric, while digifit iCardio is very Heart Rate Training focused.  Endomondo is more about total Calories burned for gym goers with less emphasis on GPS centric data, while Runkeeper is a go to for outdoor Runners.  Wahoo Fitness is an excellent app for the Scosche Rhythm+ which is FREE and no premium upgrades are required to get going right away.

I recommend giving them all a try and depending on what your goals are you will find which app naturally fits your use case.  Check them out!

Crossropes Weighted Jumpropes Workout

Jumproping is a killer workout that can be integrated into your workout for cardio, warmup, or a great finisher to make sure you are completely done with your workout.  I used to do lots of jumprope when training for gymnastics and I used it primarily for plyometric training - to strengthen my body for bounding elements on the floor.  Boxers use it for foot speed training and endurance, and even older women can do it for a weight bearing activity to prevent osteoporosis.  There - a little bit of benefit for everyone! Here's a Video showing how to do this example workout using the Crossropes as well as a Scosche Rhythm+ to track Heart Rate and the FitnessMat by Wellnessmat.  You can find all these products to do this workout on your own HERE!   

Don't forget, you can do interval training with other exercises other than Jumping Rope!  I often do circuits with timed intervals doing other exercises such as pushups, pullups, dips, rollouts, squats, and more!  I enjoy the variety of the interval training and it's nice to add in some jumprope to add variety and mix it up a bit!  You can see from the Rhythm+ data that my Heart Rate gets up there pretty quickly - especially from using the 3lb.
