The PUSH Band tracker, which appeared relatively recently, is “sharpened” just for use in the gym, this device helps those who work with a barbell, dumbbells and other iron to improve their results.

    Push Band can not only measure the strength and speed of an athlete in the gym, this device considers the number of approaches and the number of exercises in each approach. In addition, Push Band can also work as a personal trainer. The developers claims that this tracker, first of all, evaluates the strength of the athlete.

    Work with Push



    To start working with the device, you need to turn on the tracker, download your own application for the device to the smartphone, and carry out the pairing procedure. Immediately after this, the device can be used. The application monitors such indicators as the number of approaches and repetitions, strength, energy, balance, speed, maximum number of repetitions, pace.

    Many athletes and amateurs use a notebook to record the results of each workout. Usually, the number of sets of each exercise is fixed, and the number of repetitions in each set. Push fixes all this in automatic mode, so you can not be distracted by recording.

    The measurement results, if desired, can be shown to friends, other users of the Push system.



    application



    After the application is installed on the mobile device and the pairing procedure is carried out, you need to create an athlete profile and click on “Go”. The application receives information from the tracker, analyzes the information, and then shows the results to the user. In addition, the application can also act as a personal trainer - the program gives advice and recommendations.

    Push can also work as the simplest tracker, with counting the number of steps taken and calories burned.

    However, the main difference between this tracker and all the others is the specialization in strength training. It is worth noting that Push is intended for those athletes who are already quite motivated, and wants to move to a new level of training, improving their results.

    Before class, we recommend that you carefully evaluate the capabilities of the application, and see what types of exercises the device is able to track. Then we select the exercises that we need now:



    To view all the exercises available to the user, select 'Free Training'. After that, you can choose the weight with which you need to work. The fact that the gadget is monitoring, says the green LED. If it is not lit, it means that the device is not working now - this should be followed at the beginning of the training .



    After completing the workout, the application will show the final result, with a number of characteristics. If there is progress, the device will fix it.



    It is worth noting that for the normal operation of the application you need to keep a smartphone nearby. Otherwise, the connection may be interrupted and the results will not be recorded. This may seem a little uncomfortable, but now a lot of people in gyms are engaged, holding a smartphone with them.
