Top 3 fitness accessories to attain your New Year’s resolution

It’s a brand new year, and for many that means new resolutions to become more active, cut down on calories and develop a healthy lifestyle. We’re doing our part in January with what we’re calling Fitness Month – four weeks of competitions, articles and sales on the best fitness accessories on the market.

More substantive blogs are on the way – including reviews of our best fitness accessories, guides to the best apps available and more – but for now, have a look at our top 3 recommendations for must-have fitness accessories in 2014.

1. Jawbone Up Activity Tracking Wristband

The Jawbone Up is the most popular fitness accessory on Mobile Fun, and for good reason – this is probably the best looking fitness tracker on the market. It looks discrete and stylish – this isn’t a big nerdy thing attached to your wrist, just a cool looking band. And the tracking provided is top notch too, letting you easily see your daily activity on an app on your phone, which is available on both Android and iOS. The Up provides good motivation to get moving, and that’s exactly what you need.

2. KitSound Sport Band Headphones

These KitSound headphones offer a more traditional way of getting fit – providing music, piped in via your smartphone or MP3 player, while you’re working out or jogging. These headphones are special though, because they are embedded in a sport band that’ll stay on your head no matter what you’re doing. Of course, they also work as a normal sweatband, keeping your eyes clear of perspiration. A nice gift, inexpensive yet effective.

3. FitBit Zip

The Zip is an example of the first generation of smartphone-connected fitness trackers, and for that reason it’s a fair bit cheaper than later releases. The Zip offers an easy-to-read display and clips onto your belt or bra, tracking your activity. One of the best parts of the FitBit Zip (and other FitBits) is that they work wirelessly, so you’ll always be up-to-date without the annoyance of connecting the Zip manually. A nice entry-level option.

Conclusion

That’s all for now, but we’ll have a lot more where that came from. Thanks for joining us on our inaugural blog, and we hope to see you again soon!
