It has never been easier to track your health, physical activity and daily travel data. While any smartphone can do the trick, the range of specialized health and fitness gadgets now includes GPS computers, heart rate monitors, and all activity meters. Increasingly, however, smart gadgets can provide all the data you ever need. Fitness trackers and sports watches have evolved at an astonishing pace: they used to be little more than phone-dependent devices, but now they can measure everything from heart rate to sleep quality and offer autonomous user guidance with GPS tracking and routing. Of course, while the simpler trackers are for step counting or runners specifically, more and more people are opting for two-wheelers. This article will focus on the most advanced fitness trackers designed for professional cyclists or people who prefer a bicycle to a car. Below you will find the best fitness trackers for cyclists 1.POLAR GRIT X: THE BEST MULTISPORT SMARTWATCH FOR CYCLING The adventurous features of Polar's Grit X will especially appeal to outdoor enthusiasts. Ideal for adventures in harsh environments. One of the most impressive features of this smartwatch is the ability to split your ascent and descent efforts using the Hill Splitter feature. Generating this kind of split automatically when the incline changes means you don’t have to remember to press buttons when you start climbing to see your progress. A bonus for forgetful bikers is their ability to provide alerts on when you should eat and drink based on data collected during your bike ride. Polar unveils Ignite 2 and Vantage M2 to shake up the sports watch market Also a versatile useful feature is the watch's ability to warn its wearer about approaching weather fronts. Paired with the Komoot route planning app, this smartwatch will also provide turn-by-turn directions. And although you don't need to display the entire route map, with a premium subscription you can not only build the routes you need, but also track your passage along them in real time. More prosaically, the Grit X offers all the familiar features of a sports watch such as heart rate tracking, GPS, Bluetooth connectivity, and the ability to monitor and personalize your workouts throughout the day. The watch also offers many functions that are important for cycling people of all skill levels. Another slight downside to connectivity is the lack of some smartwatch features, notably the lack of contactless payments or track skipping on Spotify. The Grit X has a long-lasting battery that lasts up to 40 hours in GPS and heart rate training mode, but can be extended to seven days by activating one of several available energy-saving options. With an average 1.2-inch screen and a weight of just 64g, the entire assembly is housed in a particularly durable and weather-resistant case with a pleasing appearance. The average price without a stock for this watch model starts from 40 thousand in rubles. 2. GARMIN FENIX ​​6 PRO: THE BEST SMARTWATCH FOR THOSE ON A BUDGET It's fair to say that apart from a few passionate contenders - Wahoo Fitness, we're looking at Garmin devices - the king of smart GPS devices. Unsurprisingly, Garmin has created an extremely good GPS sports watch for cyclists. Fenix's list of features is seemingly endless, from basic heart rate tracking to oxygen spirometry (whatever it is), safety beacon, mapping and ANT + and Bluetooth compatibility with an almost endless array of components including endurance and fitness sensors. In addition, the device has the level of telephony that we expect from the best smartwatches: displaying messages, voice call prompts and app notifications. With almost all the features of the Garmin 830 and a neat Garmin handlebar adapter to fit the watch onto the handlebars, it essentially has all the benefits of a top GPS bike computer, as well as a versatile and extremely functional smart device. Thanks to the choice of three case sizes (42, 47 and 51 mm), which determine the readability of the data on the display, a standard pattern was revealed: the larger the size of the watch on the wrist, the more readable it will be. Disadvantages? They're a bit pricey and bulkier and heavier than some of the Garmin alternatives like the Forerunner. Although this may be less of a problem for cyclists than for triathletes. With the GPS + GLONASS tracking systems that Garmin uses in all of its computerized devices, you can be sure that all your trips will be tracked with amazing accuracy. With active use of the watch only in GPS mode, the watch will work on average one and a half days. If you use them while listening to music with GPS turned on, you will have enough battery power for 10 hours. Other features include water resistance and heart rate tracking.

How to be visible and credible on the Internet? First step: create original and useful content . 2nd step: extend this work by making the most of the potential of social networks. Here are our practical and strategic tips. 1. Take into account the real uses of different social networks You vaguely know Pinteres t. You know it's a social network of images. And, just like on other social networks, you assume that people subscribe to a few accounts and then view their feed. Missed. Pinterest is certainly a social network of images (and videos). But Internet users do not use it at all like other social networks . Rather than passively consulting their feed, they instead do active searches to find specific content . Pinterest is therefore a social network, but used as a search engine . Which changes everything for your brand. Each social network has its own uses It is the Internet users who decide on the uses of each medium . For example, Facebook and LinkedIn offer a feature to create events. However, the uses of this same feature are different on Facebook and LinkedIn. For example, on Facebook, the event functionality will be used to organize aperitifs , social events or even sports lessons. Conversely, on LinkedIn , neither aperitif nor event, but rather webinars or conferences . Why such a difference in uses for the same functionality? Because we all have many faces on the Internet . One and the same Internet user will not have the same behavior depending on whether he browses Twitter or LinkedIn (as in physical life, we are not the same at work or at home). As a business , therefore, you can not be satisfied with the numbers available everywhere (for example: Facebook is the number one social network in the world, which says nothing about what people are doing there). It is imperative to first observe the actual uses . Actual uses are not what you think We have already talked about Pinterest & other marketing channels. Consider two other examples. Do you think Snapchat is a social network used exclusively by people under 25 ? Still missed . In France, Snapchat is the second most used social network , behind Facebook but ahead of Messenger (Facebook's messaging application)! Last example: do you think that most of the content is shared on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn? Again, it's failed . The boss of Facebook itself, Mark Zuckerberg, recognized the 2018 " people share more photos, videos and links on WhatsApp Messenger and they do on social networks . Again, this has an impact on your branding strategy on social media. 2. Don't browse blind: define a strategy for your social networks What should I post and where? For which target audiences? To achieve what goal? With which indicators to measure my actions? A strategy is essential to answer all these questions. And these questions are just as essential. When you decide to use social networks for your brand just like in SEO, two reflexes should be avoided . First, open an account on each popular social network of the moment. Then, publish the same content, without changing a comma, on all these social networks. To be effective, the reverse must be done . Asking the right questions, for example, allows certain strategic issues to be resolved . For example : Should you publish your content on a website or exclusively on social networks ? While my competitors are also posting content, how do you win the battle for attention ? How to be effectively present on LinkedIn ? On Facebook ? On Twitter ? 3. Adopt a clear editorial line for your social networks It's a golden rule: each network has its own editorial line . In other words, for each medium a precise target audience, a communication objective, formats (for example, images) and recurring sections. For example, if you host a YouTube channel, you shouldn't just post a video every now and then. You need to think about how often and what content to post before you start (or when you reorient your strategy). On YouTube, the best editorial recipes of brands are known. It's up to you to be inspired by them, by declining them in a coherent way for your brand. The other social networks must obey the same logic . Are you starting a LinkedIn page for your business? Be sure to respect these strategic fundamentals and good editorial practices . Another example: on Twitter, be sure to mobilize little-known but useful features , such as the text alternative. Finally, never forget that the community manager must also be a content producer . He or she is very familiar with online conversations about your topics . He or she therefore has a decisive role in the design of the editorial lines of your communication media.

Better focus on these 3 main elements. This is how they were added to the thank you page: let’s take a closer look at what these elements are: 1. Confirmation text The first thing that should be on the thank you page is a message that confirms that the visitor did everything right. For instance: Thanks for subscribing. Look for the first letter in your mail. Your order is accepted. We will contact you shortly. Wait for a free book in your inbox in the next few minutes. In addition, post information about the order: a list of goods, their cost, delivery terms. Or write down the value of a free lead magnet. 2. A clear call to action Reassured the visitor? Well done. Now we turn to what you want from him. Think of a call to action based on your customer information. Explain what and why they should do. Many entrepreneurs do not do this, ending the old woman with the first paragraph. But you are not many and do not miss this opportunity. What could be a call to action? Ask for: add your address to the white list; share a page on social networks; Register for a webinar or event: buy an offer at a discount; download pdf report, presentation, book; subscribe to news; watch the video; buy an additional product; answer the questions. You will find more calls to action here - 200 examples of successful call to action that will strengthen your proposal . 3. Specific instructions Well, and do not forget to tell what to do next. Add detailed instructions. Sometimes visitors do not do what you ask because they do not know how. But they don’t have time to understand the question and look for the answer on the network. For example, if you chose the call “add our address to the white list”, write down how to do this using video or screenshots. I admit, I myself do not know how to add an address to the white list, so I always ignore such an appeal. :) Or post “Press the blue button below to book your participation.” Agree, this is more understandable than just “Register for the webinar”. Do you already have a cool Landing page that effectively converts visitors? Indeed, without it, no one will see a thank you page, and all the work will be wasted. Remember, they must be real. People always feel falsity, even written by a competent copywriter. Better add a screen message from the correspondence or comment on social networks. Such reviews are most credible. If you are offering an e-book, post reviews from the people who read it. Select those posts that emphasize the value of information. Thus, visitors will want to quickly familiarize themselves with the copy in their mail. If you carefully read our blog, you know how you can use the video to increase the conversion of your Landing deal page. A gratitude page of its kind is also selling. It's just that there is less text on it. This means that the video here can help you. What you can talk about in the video: thank for the purchase / subscription and tell about the value of the acquisition; talk about the special offer - only for those who see this page; answer frequently asked questions regarding the use of the product / product

American researchers have shown that spending just ten minutes in nature helps relieve the stress and anxiety experienced by young people aged 15 to 30. Spending ten minutes in a natural environment would lower stress A meta-analysis shows the benefits of the natural environment on student stress. For this new research, a team from Cornell University reviewed 14 previous studies that looked at the effects of time spent in the wild on students aged 15 to 30. These studies had been carried out in Japan, Sweden and the United States. They had recorded times of treatment (the number of hours and minutes spent in nature) and changes in well-being and mental health before and after these outdoor sessions. They also assessed the participants' mental well-being based on time spent in an urban or natural environment. Their results, reported in the journal Frontiers in Psychology , showed that spending between ten and 50 minutes in a natural environment seemed to contribute to an improvement in mood, student concentration and physiological markers of stress such as blood pressure and heart rate. " The beneficial effects do not take long to be felt - we are talking about 10 minutes spent in a natural space ", commented the author Gen Meredith. " We firmly believe that each student, regardless of specialty or workload, has such a length of time available to them every day, or at least a few times a week ." Regarding the maximum limit of 50 minutes for enjoying the benefits of time spent in the wild, co-author Donald Rakow explained that " there is no decline after 50 minutes, but rather that reported physiological and psychological benefits tend to level off after this period . " Researchers have also found that students can simply sit or walk in a natural environment for it to have a positive effect on their health. " We wanted to keep this access to nature as simple and achievable as possible, " notes Professor Rakow. " Although there are many studies on programs where we spend more time outdoors, we wanted to quantify the doses in minutes, not days ." But Professor Meredith adds that " it is an opportunity to question our conception of nature. It really surrounds us: trees, a flowerpot, a patch of grass or a wooded area ". The team notes that their results show that spending time in nature could be "prescribed" as a form of treatment to prevent or improve stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health conditions. how the students feel. The new meta-analysis even suggests the "dose" of treatment needed to produce an effect. " Prescribing a dose can legitimize the doctor's recommendations and set a tangible goal ," adds Professor Meredith. " It's different from just saying, 'Get out!' There is something specific that the student can strive for
