To celebrate National Running Day, I’m giving away a running and fitness gadget that I’m super loving right now: The Wahoo Fitness TICKR X.
I told you about the Wahoo Fitness TICKR X before and how cool it is. It’s a heart rate monitor and so much more. Wear the strap up, around your rib cage and it monitors your heart rate, plus your movement. It knows how far you’re going, measures your stride rate when you run, even your cadence when you cycle. You can even wear it in the pool!
I set my TICKR X so a voice comes on every mile and tells me my stats: duration of exercise, distance, pace, average heart rate, maximum heart rate, stride rate. So I know in real time, exactly how I’m performing.
Another beautiful thing: You don’t have to carry your phone at all if you don’t want to. The monitor will collect your workout data and remember it, to be synced later. This is perfect when I’m in the pool or on the bike and don’t want to be distracted with earbuds.
Use the TICKR X with the 7-Minute Workout app, and you’ve got a quick but intense workout that uses bodyweight only, as close as your smart phone. Fantastic for traveling and whenever you’re short on time.
Personally I like adding on a round or two of the 7-minute workout apres-run or cycle. The TICKR X monitors your body position, counts your reps and measures your heart rate so you can track your progress over time. It even tells you if you’ve set a personal best! There’s an alternative 7-minute workout and a 7-minute Pilates workout available for 99 cents.
Sounds cool, yes? Trust me it is.
Note: I received the Wahoo TICKR X free of charge for review purposes and because I am a Brand Ambassador. All thoughts and opinions, as always, are my own.
Ryan says
I use WaHoo HRM all the time and love them.
John @ run. geek. run(disney) says
That is really cool. I love how it tracks all your other exercises and reps through the movements. Nice tech.
mf says
I am just starting to read about heart rate training and hoping to incorporate it into my running!
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
great giveaway! You did make it sound very appealing when you did the review last month. happy running day
Erica @ Erica Finds says
I think I would like the voice at miles – except in the humidity when I am slogging then I might want to punch her 😉 Thanks for linking up!
Elle says
How cool! So many fun features to play with. Love the HRM of course, but also love the other things it measures for running.
Ben says
The HR tracker would be nice, and the voice update per mile
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
How cool that you don’t need your phone with you! That’s a great perk!
Angie says
Yes it does sound cool, especially the part about not having to carry your phone with you. Nice!
Great review!
Steph says
Oh yea, I need that. I didn’t know it did more than HR!
Kayley says
I like that the ticket can be used in conjunction with the 7 Minute Workout app, which I already have on my phone.
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
I need to pull my HR monitor back out for some warm weather pacing.
Amanda Nyx says
I love that you don’t have to take your phone! Storing the information until you get home is a great feature, would make long training runs less cumbersome!
Stephanie says
That sounds like an awesome product!!!
steph says
I like the vocal feedback.
@Disney_Bride of RunningHappilyEverAfter says
I think the ‘doesn’t need your phone’ feature appeals to me. I’d like to incorporate swimming more, and I definitely dont want to have my big iphone in the pool! Great review!
Charissa (@ColourfulPalate) says
The heart rate feature sounds great!
Kim says
Using the TICKR X to track my progress with the 7-minute workout would be great. I’ve been doing it for a month, and it would be cool to see my progress.
Kate @KateMovingForward says
Cool! I like that it can be used for a variety of activities!
Kathryn @ Dancing to Running says
Sounds like a great tracking system!
Michelle @ Running with Attitude says
I’ve been using my Wahoo HRM for a couple of weeks now and really like it – can’t wait to run with it!
DJohnson says
I love that it will store my workout data.
Caroline says
I’ve never used a HR monitor before, so that woudl be interesting!
liz l says
No need to carry phone!
Ange @ Cowgirl Runs says
I love that it can record your information without your phone. I carry my phone 90% of the time, but sometimes it’s just nice to go for a run without a phone.
Jenn says
That’s really cool!
HoHo Runs says
I assume it tracks your activity on a bike. I would really like that feature!
Bri says
This looks really neat… I love that you don’t need your phone and it has that comparison feature so you can trak progress!
Margaret says
I love the idea of a HR monitor that you don’t need a watch or phone with! I think giving HR training a shot could really help my running, plus in the not too distance future I’m hoping to be pregnant, so a HR monitor would be very useful in safely keeping up with my workouts.
Ellen mcK says
This sounds like a fun toy! I regret not getting a Garmin with a heart rate monitor and I don’t carry a phone when I run so this would be a fun addition!
Kristen says
All the running stuff (stride counting, etc) sound awesome! I need something like this!
Mary Beth Jackson says
cool! I really need one of these!
Erin Ellis says
I love the voice command feature, and that you don’t have to carry around your phone! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.
Erin
Heather says
Oh nice. I like real time updates!
Laurel C says
How neat! I don’t always have my phone on me, so I like that it’s not necessary. I’m very curious about my HR during workouts so it would be a great monitor to have!
Michelle says
I love the 7 minute work out app!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 7 min workout would motivate me on days I really don’t want to get up and moving.
Jessica says
heart rate monitor, which I’ve just gotten interested in
Patty @ Reach Your Peak says
This looks awesome – totally entering! I really have wanted a heart rate monitor for so long. I have a garmin but without the HR monitor. I think this would really help me in training.

I love that you can wear it in the pool!
Melissa A. says
I like that it looks like it’s really good at heart rate tracking!
Sarah L says
I love that you can get feedback during your workout, but don’t have to carry your phone. I don’t usually go for devices that make me carry my phone, since I’d rather not workout with it, so this feature really appeals to me.
Sandra Laflamme says
Ooh! I can’t wait to try mine out! I love that you can wear it in the pool! Will have to check out your review next!

I like the heart rate and cadence features.

I like the fact that it can collect the data and sync it later.

Using a heart rate monitor is a great way to monitor your fitness. And the fact that it has voice makes it super cool!

The voice indicator
Rhonda G says
Love that you don’t have to carry your phone!
Brandi @ Java and Sole says
How cool is that?! I love that you don’t have to count your reps – I am terrible at keeping track; apparently I am easily distracted 🙂
michelle says
i like how you can still sync it without having your phone all the time.

I like that you don’t need your phone. I don’t want to have to bring my phone everywhere.
