Summer’s coming which means some of us are trying to get in shape for bathing suit season. The thought of me in a bathing suit right now is terrifying, but regardless, the summer approaches. In order to get myself summer-ready I’ve made the conscious effort to put more effort into going to the gym.
You’ll Like To Move It, Move It
One of my biggest problems with getting to the gym is finding the motivation to get up and go. That’s where my music comes in. Being that everyone has a cell phone or MP3 player now, we usually take those and fill up a playlist with songs that push us to go the extra mile. And one of the best accessories out there for gym goers who need their music is the Griffin MiCoach Adidas Armband for the iPhone.
I find it hard to do any of the weight exercises while I have my iPhone on me. Mostly because it’s awkward and difficult to find a place to put it while I’m “in the zone.” That’s why these armbands are great. They’re ultra light-weight, so you won’t feel like you’re being constricted. But it will stay in place and won’t move while you’re running or lifting.
Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff
The sweat-proof touch-through screen cover protects your device’s screen so when you’re working on your cardio, you don’t have to struggle to change the song. And you’re not left with the unfortunate residue after a workout. That’s the worst. The MiChoach has got you covered! Literally, figuratively, you know what I mean.
One of my favourite features of the MiCoach is the key compartment. It might seem like an odd add-on, but if you keep a locker at the gym, you know how frustrating it can be to find a place to safely keep your key. Well, the MiCoach thought of that for you, too.
The Griffin MiCoach follows the Adidas MiCoach program, but there are alternatives. Griffin’s Aerosport iPhone Armband is much the same, but they focus on comfort, durability, and simplicity.
The headphone jacks are convenient, so they won’t get in the way when you’re busting a move or two. And like the MiCoach, there’s a screen protector that will keep dust, sweat, and anything else off the screen.
