What are you going to do differently to get the body you want?

Try new eating habits, a new group exercise class? That’s all good. But we’ve got something extra special for you to try. The world’s most intelligent bike.</p><div>It can accurately measure your power output, pedalling technique and heart rate (ideal for weight loss). How does knowing these things help you? It’s a fact: tracking progress helps achieve goals. Knowing how you’re improving is one of the best motivators too.</div><div> </div><div><strong>Other cool stuff the Wattbike can do for you:</strong></div><div><ul><li>It measures watts a 100 times a second, which supplies you data in the form of the Polar View.<br></li><li>The Polar View shows you if your pedal stroke and muscle activation is optimal.<br></li><li>It tells you your force application and the percentage of work for each leg.<br></li><li>Current Wattbikes are ANT+ enabled, and the newer Wattbikes are Bluetooth enabled.<br></li><li>There are a few fitness tests for you to do to determine your peak power and functional threshold power.<br></li></ul><strong></strong><strong>Change your body</strong></div><div><strong><br></strong>Cycling is one of the most effective workouts you’ll ever do. It torches calories, tones you all over, boosts your energy, and it’s kinder on your joints than running. Let’s get specific: if you’re looking for something that can seriously change your body and the way you work out, give this amazing piece of equipment a try.</div><div> </div><div><strong>Track your progress with the powerapp</strong></div><div><strong><br></strong>Download the powerapp to track your training on the Wattbike by uploading, analysing, and sharing. Then save your session data to the powerhub, the Wattbike’s free online cloud storage. Available for Apple or Android.
