works up to 100 feet away from your smartphone, 8-hour rechargeable battery, IP67 sweat/waterproof construction, while allowing you to have a more effective/caloric intense workout. The left panel of the packaging provided six icons and corresponding descriptions: Performtex precision sensor technology measures real-time Heart rate data more accurately than a chest strap, comfortable armband eliminates the need for chest strap. Just to the side of the heart rate panel, you will find a grey heart with an EKG tracing in the negative space. Across the top of the cover, Scosche clearly listed the device name “Rhythm+ Armband Heart Rate Monitor” and across the bottom their logo and company name. The grayscale 3 1/4 inches tall by 2 1/4 wide Scosche armband was clearly visible atop the cover, thanks to the stark contrast of the flat white panel. This feature seemed to frame each of the panels and allowed each of the sides/corners to provide a tiny glimpse into the armband. Each panel of the thin plastic outer shell was coated by a flat white opaque paint, except for a small outer translucent border. The Scosche Rhythm+ Armband arrived in a quaint 3 1/2 inches wide by 5 3/8 inches tall by 2 3/16 inches thick retail package. You can use an equation like the Harris-Benedict Equation to roughly calculate a basal energy expenditure and combine that with a heart rate goal to either maintain a set weight or to lose weight. Despite my irrational gym dread, I still use the Lose It App to monitor my caloric intake and I use my Apple Watch heart rate sensor/pedometer to monitor and guestimate my caloric expenditure. Akin to Seinfeld’s Soup Nazi my body says “No Dopamine for you.” I suffer the same disease as many Americans who purchase gym memberships and hope that the monthly fee alone will reduce blood pressure, decrease cholesterol, improve my heart function, all to stave off heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes. However, running, lifting weights, and essentially anything inside a fitness center, provides no reward. These types of activities are fun, pose no difficulty for me and are not monotonous. I am happy to play some intramural sports, to go on a hike with our Cub Scouts, to play a friendly game of softball or to run around/ride bikes with my children. I really want to love exercising but that love is not strong enough to make me actually go to the gym. Combine the Scosche Rhythm+ Armband with your favorite exercise equipment and sports apps to enjoy fitness in your own way.
