Walking for Heart Health Just Got Smarter

Here’s a new gadget to add to your workout gear:

Perception Digital Limited recently announced the release of Live-Lite(TM), a fitness aid designed to help walkers and joggers of all fitness levels make every step count.

“Medical experts agree that everyone benefits from brisk walking,” says Jeff Chui, Executive Director at Perception Digital.”This means walking between three and four miles per hour, or between 7,000 and 10,000 steps per day. But most people get bored with exercise. They need feedback and a way to measure their success. With Live-Lite, they can keep track of their progress, listen to music while they walk and know the exact amount of fat and calories that they’re burning. This is an important step to staying motivated, losing weight and meeting fitness goals.”

Small enough to clip onto a sleeve, the lightweight, battery-operated Live-Lite measures steps for walkers and joggers, monitors heart rate by one-touch sensing and plays superior-quality of music, while also giving the user the ability to calculate calories burned based on steps. Designed to monitor heart rate immediately before and after exercise, Live-Lite counts the number of jogging and walking steps, keeps track of the exercise times with stop-watch functions and calculates distance traveled and calories burned, providing feedback as fitness goals are met.

“Live-Lite is a great companion for experienced joggers and walkers, as well as an important tool for people new to exercising,” says Chui. Through the comprehensive exercise data available to the users, Live-Lite(TM) motivates people to get moving regularly, break physical inactivity and commit to a regular exercise routine.

      and automatically calculates calories burned.
