Listening to some music while exercising can be a fundamental part of enjoying the experience for many. One of the big problems in recent times has been the awkward wire bobbing around or wireless headphones not being fit for purpose during exercise but the Jaybird Run earphones have changed that.

The Jaybird Run earphones are very comfortable, fit very well and secure in the ear, and they can play loud music – an area that many wireless headphones struggle with. If you’ve been having some problems with your earphones while exercising, you really should check out the Jaybird Run.

3rd party BLE earphones are also very likely to be compatible with the imminent Garmin Forerunner 645, although it will probably come with earphones out of the box. Let’s wait and see.

No need to fly over to France for some high altitude training in the Alps, as you can do it wherever you are with the Altitude Mask. Altitude Mask claims to increase your endurance, increase your oxygen efficiency, cut your workout by two-thirds, increase your lung capacity and creates pulmonary resistance. Best of all, though, it’s endorsed by two top athletes.

Welsh footballer and winger for Real Madrid, Gareth Bale, and unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua are both huge endorsers of the Altitude Mask. Joshua utilises the mask in many areas of his training regime, and will no doubt be using it in the running to his next huge fight against world champion Joseph Parker, who is at 9/1 in the online betting to defeat the big Brit.

It also functions as ‘your personal trainer’.

The Moov Now doesn’t host a heart rate monitor but is enabled for sleep tracking, and, overall, it is designed for keeping tabs on so many different areas of sports and fitness.

There you have it; three fitness accessories that you can get in 2018 to help make your workout more enjoyable, enhance your exercise, and get the analysis that you need to hone in on the areas where you can improve. Maybe.
