5 sporting gadgets for your last-minute Santa wish list

And if the list is already sent, these might be a few ideas for the January sales.

LET’S NOT MINCE words – there will be a lot of food eaten over the coming weeks.

Once 2017 rolls around though, the gyms will be packed with everybody trying to run off all the selection boxes and turkey.

If you’re planning on getting fit in the new year, you might as well do it as efficiently as possible. If you ask Santa for one of these pieces of technology, you might well boost your chances of sticking to your resolutions.

Fitbit

If you really want to get in shape in the new year, you’ll want to keep an eye on your habits even when you’re not in the gym. Getting a good night’s sleep and other habits will only make the gym work more efficient.

Fitbit and other fitness trackers keep track of your steps, sleep and heart rate along with some other cool features. They sync to your phone to log all your details in one handy place. Some of them even tell the time too.

Yurbuds

If you’ve ever gone running and gotten annoyed that your earphones keep falling out then this one is definitely a good shout. Yurbuds are sweat-resistant earphones that are molded to the shape of an ear so they literally never fall out. It’s magic.

They’re also designed to be comfortable over long periods of time, so your ears won’t get sore if listening to music over long journeys either.

Wireless Bluetooth Beanie Hat Cap

Similarly, if it’s cold out, your earphones mightn’t sit comfortably under your hat. A beanie hat with Bluetooth earphones built-in solves all problems.

They’ve been around a while, but some of the newer models have microphones built-in too, so you can run and talk at the same time.

Touchscreen gloves

If your head is cold, your hands will also probably be cold. You might still need to shuffle through your tunes or take a phone call while out running, though.

If you’ll need to do that without taking your gloves off, these guys are a must.

Fitbit weighing scales

There are normal weighing scales that’ll do the job, but if you’re going down the Fitbit route, pairing it up with a Fitbit weighing scales might not be a bad idea.

The weighing scales syncs with your phone, so you can keep a regular track of your weight as you progress.
