No matter what activities you pursue this winter to get in shape, you will see better results if you track your efforts. From a strictly ego perspective you want to win – even if you’re competing against yourself. The Tangram Smart Rope ($90) takes the classic jump rope and embeds it with LEDs so you can see vital stats displayed in midair in front of you. The current version of the Smart Rope displays your jump count, but future updates will provide calories burned, interval training data, and additional symbols that register double unders and other information. Smart Rope also comes with a Smart Gym App that connects with your Smart Rope via Bluetooth and displays all your vital statistics.
Sahn helmets ($129) offer a nice departure from your standard aggressive styled bike helmets. These helmets feature clean lines and are made from a tough ABS plastic outer shell with an absorbing polystyrene inner layer. The also have easily adjustable straps, comfortable foam padding, and a swiss-made rear dial harness.
