Holiday Gift Guide – Wearables

December 23, 2016

Wearables seem to be going through a sophomore slump right now. They are at that awkward stage of the market where they are starting to find an audience, but that audience is beginning to gather underneath a few tentpoles. As a result, the periphery marketplace is collapsing. The bowing out of 4 major wearable makers (with others likely on the way) should not be read as a failure of the segment though. The tentpole companies are putting out really exciting products that people are clamoring for. The list below is sure to please anyone!

Lumo Run Now Allows You To BYOS (Bring Your Own Shorts)

February 26, 2016

With the days getting longer most of the US is preparing to thaw out from the winter, which means it is time to get back outside and exercise. As we look forward to hitting the pavement during non freezing temperatures, the search starts for tools to help us perform better. We love ones that not only track our running, but also help us become better runners. Things such as stride length, cadence, vertical bounce, hip rotation, and ground contact time are so important to not only be an efficient runner but also to prevent injury. Working with a running coach is a great way to address these issues but time with a coach isn’t cheap and chances are they won’t be with you when your form completely falls apart as you struggle through mile 12.

2015 Gift Guide: Fitness Wearables

December 17, 2015

While activity trackers are great to make sure you removing around enough, they don’t do a very good job when it comes to sports. Over the past few years we have seen a sharp jump in devices specifically made for athletic endeavors. These devices are incredible because of the depth of metrics they provide. Users are able to gain an understanding of what they are doing right and what could be improved. But most of these devices are less a wearable and more of an accessory – the Zepp sensor attaches to your baseball bat, the Qlipp sensor attaches to your tennis racket, the Arccos system attaches to your golf clubs, and the Adidas Micoach Smart Ball is a sensor laden soccer ball. This year though, we finally started seeing wearable devices cover new ground in fitness and sports. Below we take a look at a few of our favorite fitness wearables from the past year.

Lumo Run Wants To Make You Run Better (And Safer)

October 7, 2015

Running is one of the few sports that you can just wake up and do. It requires no special equipment nor talent, there is nothing to learn (we innately know how to run), and you don’t need anyone to do it with. Most people, when they decide to be a runner, just strap on some sneakers and go for it. This is one of the things that makes running so special, but the downfall is that most people have horrible form. Head to your local park on the weekend and look at all of the different (and sometimes odd) ways that people run. Poor form doesn’t just effect the efficiency of your stride, it also can cause serious injuries. The best thing you can do is regularly work with a physical trainer who can make sure you are getting the most from your body. But between cost and time, that isn’t an option for most people. Lumo Run hopes to be a budget friendly solution to help people become better (and safer) runners.
