Keep fit with Samsungs exercise orientated mobile phone

Have you ever wanted your very own personal trainer, but not been able to afford one? If so Samsung may have found a solution for you in the form of the Samsung F110 also known as the Adidas miCoach.

But how can a mobile phone be a personal trainer, I hear you ask? The Samsung F110 is no ordinary mobile phone, it comes with a heart rate monitor (that looks similar to a belt) which straps around your chest, as well as a stride sensor that clips to your shoe laces and counts your steps for you. This technology is synced to your mobile phone which can give you real-time voice guidance on your workouts based on the information. The mobile phones built in accelerometer is a handy application which allows you to tap the phone twice to receive a spoken update from your phone to inform you of your current running stats including stride, time, pace, distance, calories and heart rate! Samsung have teamed up with the Athlete’s Performance Institute at Arizona State University to produce this technology for their sporty customers.

The Samsung F110 Adidas miCoach guides you through your first run determining your fitness levels, it then gives you a range of goals that suit your fitness level along with a series of workouts to help you reach your goal. It even creates a personalised fitness plan for you.

An excellent addition to the F110 is the 1GB MP3 player. This cleverly selects music that you can keep up to pace with, which if you run in time with the music will help you to stay within your target heart rate zone for the duration of your run.

If you take away the ‘personal trainer’ the Samsung F110 is a fairly basic slider mobile phone but it does also come equip with Bluetooth, a 2 mega pixel camera, and an FM radio.

The F110 will be available this month, so keep your eyes peeled for the Samsung F110 Adidas miCoach appearing on OneCompare very soon.
