Fitbit Charge HR - Know your Heart

Electronics Supplements & Vitamins

Add a comment By Andy

Fitbit popped into the wearable technology scene early last year and we invited the flex into our lives with open arms!

The simple little rubber strap gave us so much, like…

  • Activity and Sleep tracking
  • Allowed us live updates of activity progress on our mobile devices
  • It made fitness social and fun
  • And for some it turned into a fashion accessory :P

A year on now, wearable technology has taken huge strides. The chargeHR is the latest from fitbit, and we absolutely love it.

PurePulse is the most prominent feature added to the fitbit tech. It displays continuous, automatic heart rate updates during your workouts. Being able to obtain this information at the flick of a wrist gives users the ability to maintain workout intensity and lets you assess how many calories you've burnt in a session – helping you get the most out of your workouts!

Did you Just Score Tickets to the World Cup Semi Finals?

We asked all of you “Who wants to go see the Semi Final match of the ICC Cricket World Cup?” Pretty simple question really, but you guys blew us away with your answer.

All you had to do to win tickets was buy some thirst quenching Gatorade and by the response we got, either there's a lot of you that want to go, or there was a marathon being run in 30° weather…

Either way, we hope you've cleared your schedule for Tuesday the 24th of March, because one of you lucky Monkeys is heading to Eden Park!

What to look for in a Protein Bar!

Supplements & Vitamins

Add a comment By Talman

We LOVE protein bars here at Mighty Ape – Protein Bars are a great solution for a quick and easy meal/boost for those on the go! Not all protein bars are created equal however… Today we're going to look at a couple of things to look out for next time you purchase a Protein Bar!

When selecting a protein bar one key factor to look at is the protein count – protein aids in keeping us feeling full for longer, you'll also want a higher quality protein. Look for Whey Protein Isolate, Milk Protein Isolate, and Casein.

Ideally you aren't going to want something with much sugar (less than ideal energy source). It's important to note here a lot of bars use sugar alcohols which technically aren't listed as sugar in the macros to make it taste sweet while still being ‘low sugar’. Sugar alcohols do however have a laxative effect in large amounts, higher amounts of calories than sugar, and can cause gastrointestinal distress.

On top of this other things to look out for are:

  • High fat count (bad)
  • High Fibre count (good)
  • High calorie count (bad)
