Looking for an easy way to track your workouts? Sure there’s plenty of apps that can do that but they all require you to either stop between sets to jot it down or remember what you did after you get home from the gym. A new Kickstarter project called the smartIRON makes it easy by doing all the tracking for you. The disc-shaped aluminum gadget uses a magnet to stick directly onto the weights you are lifting.
The device, with help from an accelerometer, leads you through your workout routine- counting the reps and sets for each exercise. Then your information is uploaded wirelessly to the cloud where you can track your workouts, identity trends, change routines, set goals and track your overall progress. Currently the smartIRON is looking for more funding to get this product on the market. Good idea, hopefully this one gets manufactured.
