Garmin has dominated the smart bike computer market for years now, but Wahoo introduced their own computer last year, the Wahoo ELEMNT. Priced at £250 this is not a cheap device but it is still less than the Garmin Edge 820 and 1000. A quick summary of the ELEMNT features includes: Integrated GPS Quicklook Indicators…

Following my review of the excellent Garmin Fenix 3 HR, I decided I wanted a new Garmin watch for myself. The Fenix 3 was a bit too big for my thin wrists, and more importantly, it was well above my budget. The Garmin 235 appears to fix these problems while retaining all the features I…
Sit-stand desks have grown hugely in popularity in recent years as people have become all too aware of the harmful effects of sitting down all day. I reviewed the excellent VariDesk Pro in September last year and recently I have been trying out the FlexiSpot 35″. As you would imagine they offer essentially the same…
I am not a juicing convert but since losing a lot of weight, and still having a sweet tooth, I have made protein ice-cream on a very regular basis. This generally requires me blending mostly frozen milk, mixed with protein and xanthan gum. This combination of ingredients has wreaked havoc on all the cheap blenders…
Just before Christmas, I was contacted by Volt to review one of their e-bikes, the Volt Connect and I have been using it intermittently for the past couple of weeks. I am a reasonably keen cyclist that rides a road bike, and as an ex-obese person, one of the main reasons why I cycle is…
I have reviewed quite a few wireless earphones this year, and most of them have been in the budget end of the market. This week I have been reviewing the new Bose SoundSport Pulse earphones which cost a hefty £169.00 making them one of the most expensive wireless earphones on the market. These are not…
I suffered from insomnia for many years, and one of the reasons for me adopting a new healthy lifestyle a few years ago was to try and fix this. I don’t sleep too bad now, but I am always interested in things that might aid my sleep. Today we have the aXbo Sleep Phase Alarm…
Over the past 5 years I have become a bit of a fitness geek, which in turn has meant I have spent hundreds, if not thousands on fitness-related equipment and technology. One of the main areas I have been interested in is tracking my performance, I first dabbled with Bluetooth heart rate straps by Polar,…
Standing desks have seen a huge growth in popularity over the past 5 years or so as people are becoming more health conscious and realising how bad sitting down for long periods of time is for us. I have personally been very interested in standing desks since getting fit myself. The problem with them is…
As a reasonably keen cyclist, it is always difficult working out what to do with my mobile phone. When riding on cycle paths/trails I normally listen to my music and have Runkeeper/Endomodo/Strava on for notifications. During the colder months, it is not so bad as I just put it on the inside of my jacket….
