Cycling - saves me gas, often as quick as driving would be (we have epic all day congestion here). And its fun except when the weather is really bad. Only drive if I have a heavy load to go somewhere, or if I'm picking someone up or it is pouring
Also swimming - can be done year round indoors, and I dont sweat! Having a waterproof MP3 player helps me with motivation too
Recommendation for the waterproof MP3 player? I've just gotten back to the pool.
I'm using the Sony WS410, great player, goes good and loud (I swim to metal) but unfortunately no longer available in my country, but I believe still available in the US
Your user name makes me think Aussie? Me too :/
Close, New Zealand. Would be interested to see if these are available in Australia still, partner has relatives there, I will get them to grab one for me when my current one dies (they seem to last 2-3 years swimming with them an hour a day)
Good info, thanks!
I have decent bone phones that are water resistant and I'm mostly keeping my head above water for now. I'm going to test the range on the Bluetooth for my phone soon, but if there's something that can come in the water with me that'd be great
Yeah so I won't be underwater with the bones phones (they're only resistant) I'm just using a kickboard for leg rehab - phone will be pool side and I'm hoping the 10m distance allows me to use them. If not, waterproof option for the emitting device is ideal
Fair dos. When I'm swimming proper I'll look into a fully contained waterproof option. Thanks for your input!
