I don’t listen to music on the trails often because it’s too much work. Between the ear buds falling out or hurting, the dangling cables, and constantly adjusting the volume, I’ve had it. Instead of enhancing my flow, toting my jams has turned into a chore.
The JayBird Freedom Bluetooth headphones were designed specifically for active individuals. They ship with a variety of earpieces to ensure a comfortable fit, the manufacturer claims they’re sweat proof, and there aren’t really any cables to snag.
So are my riding needs and beats back in tune?
The most frustrating part of working out with the current crop of headphones is the dangling cables. Have you ever had an ear bud ripped out of your ear while riding? I recently broke a set of expensive headphones when the cable caught on my desk and irreversibly bent the audio plug. Routing the cable through my jacket or out my backpack is less than ideal because it makes removing either difficult. When I’m out riding I don’t want to stop for stupid details. (more…)
Perhaps the biggest surprise is what’s missing from this year’s list: Pilates, which was among the top 10 trends in 2008, 2009 and 2010, now has fallen out of the top 20 for the second consecutive year.
All that has happened here; is they have already convinced themselves they are defeated, and this is before they have even started! People will always find it difficult to reach fitness goals with a negative outlook or attitude. So this is simply “Mind over Matter” This is something I have learnt over time;in fitness industry.
