KATHY SMITH INTRODUCES BODIMETRICS PERFORMANCE MONITOR REVOLUTIONARY HANDHELD DEVICE PROVIDES HEALTH RESULTS IN 20 SECONDS

Los Angeles, CA – December 1, 2015 - Life hacks exist for just about everything – but have you ever thought about life hacks for your body? Look no further than the new lightweight (3 ounces) and portable handheld BodiMetrics Performance Monitor (www.bodimetrics.com) that combines multiple functions into one device, and it helps you body hack your way to optimal health.

“Body hacking allows you to understand the impact that your daily life has on your body so that you can make small adjustments to your eating, exercise, and sleep patterns to optimize your health. Using the BodiMetrics Performance Monitor as a body hack can be the difference between feeling low and blue and having a rock star day,” says fitness icon Kathy Smith.

By using the BodiMetrics Performance Monitor, you’re taking your well-being into your own hands and owning it. Why wonder about the impact of your workout or daily activities when you can get accurate answers within minutes, at your convenience?

The BodiMetrics Performance Monitor gives you the ability to check health metrics in just 20 seconds in the palm of your hand. While there are many individual health apps and technology that allows you to access this information, the BodiMetrics Performance Monitor is a revolutionary, one of a kind handheld device that gives you the ability to access many vital health metrics in one place. Just one of its functions, called the Body Check function, can capture your ECG, systolic blood pressure, RPP, blood oxygenation levels, and your heart rate – in just 20 seconds. “The reaction when I show this function to people is always the same” says Kathy. “It is simply – ‘WOW!” WOW.mp4

The Body Check function is just the beginning of what this device can do. With it, you can measure your RPP, or Rate Pressure Product, as you work out so that you can understand how hard your heart is working and whether or not it’s getting enough oxygen – just one of many body hacks that can help you understand what’s going on inside your body so that you can adjust your daily habits and optimize your health.

Ramp up your workout using wearable technology


I love this timer, as you know I have one of these it RAWKS!!! I recently did an article on this that Eric sent me here it is.........
Keeping track of time without an interval timer is not always the easiest thing in the world. Staying focused with a good workout or with a set of exercises it’s easy to keep going longer than expected.

However you might find that you’re taking breaks that are longer than they should be. And this affects not only the intensity of your workout, but also your long-term results.

According to Eric DeRosa inventor of Set Starter Interval Timer “this is where wearable technology comes in. Sure, you could simply wear a watch, but there are many benefits to sticking to an actual timer. For example, interval training, where you mix ups and downs of cardio activity, requires careful timing. This is important because otherwise, you might make your periods too long or too short, and that in turn can affect how effective they are at improving your fitness level.”

While the word “interval” often brings to mind sets done on the treadmill or the elliptical trainer, you can also do interval workouts:

·        Jumping rope

·        Lifting weights

·        Kettlebell training

·        Interval running outdoors

·        Tabata intervals

Although interval trainings can vary in intensity, HIIT (high-intensity interval training) is one of the most popular options. HIIT requires constant switching between periods of high intensity and low intensity or rest. Those periods can be anywhere from one minute to 3-5 minutes each. This is perfect for a wearable technology device.

With an interval timer you can concentrate on the actual activity until the alarm (beep, vibration or light) goes off.  In the end, an interval timer will ramp up your workout!

Amazing DOD Fitness Products

Image: dodfitness.com

Do you have bad knees? This product is amazing, and it may be something that might be of interest to you.

These new fitness tools recently released to the market make it easier for people with problem knees, wrists and necks to do moves that were almost impossible for them before. The Knee Donuts, Wrist Wedges and Neck Circles provide the support, stability and comfort needed for those who have trouble putting weight on their wrists and knees and/or need support for their neck.

Gretchen Zelek is a business woman and a fitness enthusiast who saw a need and filled it with these 3 products.

The Knee Donut can prevent, reduce, or eliminate knee pain while in a weight bearing position. Unlike other knee cushions, the donut shape prevents the patella (kneecap) from ever touching the floor. Not only are they perfect to help with any exercises done on the knees, they are also great tools for gardening. The Knee Donut is safe for those who have had knee replacement surgery.

The Wrist Wedge was ergonomically designed to reduce stress and pain during weight bearing exercises like push-ups and planks. The entire hand rests on the non-slip wedge with the fingers on the downward slope. The angle of the Wrist Wedge reduces the degree of wrist extension; this decreases the pressure on the wrist.

The Neck Circle was invented for anyone who feels neck tension during or after exercise. The Neck Circle keeps the head in a neutral position creating proper alignment. When placed under the base of the head the height provides cushion and support thus creating a biomechanically optimal position.

Check out the benefits:
All of the DOD Fitness products are made in the USA. Their specially designed foam is covered in a waterproof, sweat-proof and bleach-proof coating. The foam is made to a specific density to provide support and cushioning. They are extremely lightweight and easy to take to a class or gym. The products are appropriate for anyone to use at home or in a workout studio. Personal trainers, physical therapists, yoga and Pilates teachers will be able to help their clients further their fitness goals.

The Knee Donuts and Wrist Wedges are sold as a pair for $19.99 for each pair. The Neck Circle is $9.99. A complete set of all three products in a handy tote bag is $44.99. They are available at www.dodfitness.com.
