One of the most critical areas to work on is your cardiovascular system and endurance, which is hard to do if you’re not tracking your runs. Garmins are designed to take the guesswork out of training and accurately record the pace, heart rate, distance, and intensity of your runs. You should only be doing 10-20% of weekly runs intensely, and the rest should be slow or easy-paced to build up your aerobic base. Connect the fitness tracker to your watch, and it’ll use its GPS to log the route you ran into an app. Garmins can even design a training program if you have a target in mind. The battery life lasts an impressive 14 days.
The fitness heart rate sensors in fitness trackers do the job for an amateur. But if you’re serious about your fitness game and want to ensure all your readings are accurate, then upgrade to this strap you wear around your chest and connect to your device via Bluetooth. Tracking your pulse will help you navigate what pace and intensity you should be running at, which can prevent injury and work towards running further.
Whether you’re a distance runner, train outdoors, a cyclist, or even a climber, a hydration vest is essential to take with you when you head out the door. It’s adjustable and can hold your mobile device, gels, water, and any other snacks you’d need. It’s lightweight and breathable, so you’ll forget you’re wearing it even when it’s warm.
One of the most common deficiencies in humans is Omega-3, which contains what we know as ‘good fat’, used to support various functions. This isn’t covered in the multivitamin, and it’s highly recommended you take two capsules a day.
Despite Singapore being named the ‘sunny island’, most Singaporeans still have a Vitamin D deficiency, which is most often sourced from spending time in the sun. Vitamin D supports healthy bones and teeth and a healthy immune system, which all play a crucial part if you push your body in training.
