It’s a new year so time for a new you. If one of your resolutions is to improve your fitness check out these handy fitness gadgets to keep you on track...

Motoactv Fitness Tracker

MOTOACTV is a cutting-edge GPS fitness tracker and smart music player packed into a small, sweat proof, stylish device.

It tracks your distance, speed, calories burned when running walking and cycling. It 'learns' what tunes motivate you the most by tracking your performance and creates music playlists of your favourite tunes for when you train. Synchronise your data online to monitor your progress on your computer.

Price around £250 available on line at www.motoactv.com

Yoga Paws

Yoga Paws are non-slip yoga gloves that you wear on your hands or feet, staying true to their logo 'The Yoga Mat You Wear.'

They also work with a yoga mat too, keeping you secure in every yoga pose. They are made with a yoga towel liner that absorbs seven times its weight in moisture so still work even if you break into a sweat!

Available around £29.99 on www.yogapaws.com

Pulse Ring

This small and discreet ring tracks your pulse with its built in infrared sensors. Wear it on any finger, it’s comfortable and is a whole lot easier than using some heart rate monitors that require fiddly chest straps. It’s lightweight and easy to read with its clear LCD screen and won’t break the bank.

Available around £25 on line at www.firebox.com
