so you want some games but you don't know where to start well there's an app for that and it's called Fitness buddy this app offers a ton of functionality it shows you an absurd number of workouts seriously it's absurd and it allows you to pick the area you're looking to work out and you can even dive in a bit deeper and target specific muscles one of my favorite things about this app is that it shows you demonstrations for each workout you get some images and text to give you an idea of what to do and if you still aren't sure how to do it or you just want to get the form right you can watch a super short video demonstration only have a few pieces of equipment at home not a problem you can even break it down to sections based on the gear you have on hand you can of course track your daily workouts and your progress over time gains and if you're at a loss for where to start they even provide some pre-made workouts for you to follow now made it sound like an app for newbies but even seasoned gym goers can use it to discover new workouts or just as a workout tracker and I've got one more app for you guys to check out and that's my Fitness Pal personally when I try to take going to the gym seriously I love to count my calories it's a great way to keep your goal in mind and helps you to be a bit stricter about your eating you've just got to tell it the goals you want to achieve and how active you are or plan to be and it'll give you a set amount of calories you need for the day you can track breakfast lunch dinner and even snacks with a huge library of food items that you can search through and I love that it has a feature that lets you scan the barcode of whatever you're eating and all the info you need for tracking pops right up and it'll even give you some nice tips or warnings throughout the day if you do something like taking too much sugar both of these apps go way deeper than what I've mentioned so they're definitely worth checking out if you want to take working out to the next level next up we have Pro mix the original vortex mixer back in college I had something similar to this and it was a game changer most of us are used to that blender bottle with the little ball inside but who really enjoys shaking that thing after a long workout with the vortex mixer you can get your shakes mixed with the press of a button literally you can give the button a slight press to mix until you let go or push it all the way in for it to mix on its own until you press it again and it's actually pretty powerful so you don't have to worry about clumps or it's not mixing your shake well enough it's a pretty simple device but man do I find it useful and making a protein shake isn't the only reason I love the pro mix I also use it with a meal replacement called Soylent if you guys follow my vlogs you know I'm super lazy when it comes to cooking so when Soylent reached out to me I was all over it it's a super healthy meal option and what's crazy is that each serving of this powder contains 25% of your daily nutritional needs and it's healthy enough to have this in place of a meal like lunch or dinner and three meals worth cost less than eight dollars a day it's super convenient since all I have to do is throw it in my pro mix and add water it's an easy and affordable option for you health nuts out there or the folks like me who are just too lazy to cook a meal if you don't feel like mixing or even using the pro mix to get the job done you can grab Solent 2.0 which comes pre-made and ready to go and with 20 grams of protein and each serving it's great for you guys will probably be inspired to go to the gym after this video so if you want to get your hands on Soylent and save some cash on your subscription check the description for the link and coupon while on the topic of food and drinks you want to make sure you're getting good results right so here we've got the Fitbit Aria the Aria is a smart scale that'll track your weight BMI lean mass and body fat percentage this info goes straight to your Fitbit app on your smartphone through the use of Wi-Fi you can see charts that detail your lean weight versus your fat which gives you the perfect visuals of how well you're building muscle and shredding away that fat it's a really simple way to track your progress by just jumping on the scale it even supports multiple users so it's great if you aren't the only one with weight goals at home it even offers meal and activity tracking which of course will benefit you even more if you own one of their fitness bands and speaking of fitness bands my tracker of choice is my app watch sport it has everything you need from a heart rate monitor dedicated workout tracking tracking the calories you burn during the day and a bunch more it even gives you subtle reminders to stand when it notices you've been sitting for too long and as annoying as it is it's actually perfect for me it also gives you periodic reminders of how active you've been throughout the day and lets you know how close you are to the goals you set and with the companion app on the phone you can get a good look at how you've been performing overall over the past few weeks one of the things I really like about the Apple watch that sets it apart from other fitness band is its ability to use apps so you can interact with something like the MyFitnessPal app I mentioned earlier and this versatility is why I like the Apple watch as my main fitness tracker and last but not least we've got the j-bird x2 music and gym go hand-in-hand so if you're looking for some good audio this is all you need the x2 is have a very small footprint so you won't have to worry about them getting in the way of your workout with some long dangling cable they're also sweat proof so if you happen to sweat buckets these will be just fine they also include ear fins which will make them stay in place even if you're doing some outlandish workout but not only are they made to handle people with very active lifestyles they also sound great vocals coming very clearly and they've got some awesome bass too if you want to listen to music that'll get you pumped up these are perfect they're one of my favorite listening devices and with this quality you can't go wrong but that about wraps it up for my list if you found it useful be the cool guy that gives this video a thumbs up and I'll catch you guys in the next video till then it's your average consumer peace
