One of the unplanned perks of my blog is that nice business owners send me products or samples from time to time to try out. I get lots of offers for products and I definitely pick and choose which ones I accept. If it doesn’t align with what I believe or am about – then I don’t accept it even when most times, the vendors do not place any sort of expectations on accepting the product. For example, diet pills are not something I would ever review, recommend or promote. It’s not a part of living a healthy and fit life according to me… so it would be a no go.
The latest product I have been sent is from Blast Motion. It’s a Smart Video Capture tool that allows you to analyze, compare and share your movements.
From their website: Blast Athletic Performance
The easy to use app not only records as you move, but allows you to share your highlights instantly with friends.
- Precision Motion Sensor easily and securely attaches to the waistband of your clothing
- Connects to your iPhone, iPad or iPod via Low Energy Bluetooth.
- Smart Video Capture tracks metrics while you move. Video is saved into your personal history as shareable clips synced with movement data.
- Detect key events and identify trends by viewing movement history.
- Capture performance metrics and detect key events like acceleration, rotation and jump height.
- Tracks and stores moves when the sensor is out of range
- Instantly share your stats via Facebook, Twitter, and E-mail without leaving the Blast App.
I downloaded the app for my iPad/iPhone and am connecting the sensor to my tablet today. I can see this being a great tool to help with my oly lifts and some other HIIT movements. I will post a follow up with my thoughts in the next week or so, so stay tuned!
Thanks to Blast Motion for sending me the Athletic Performance Precision Motion Sensor. Even though I received it for Free, there was no expectation on their part to influence my review. My opinions here are my own.
