You’ve probably been on a treadmill that flashed the number of calories burned during your work and asked yourself, “But how does it know how many calories I have burned?” Well, realistically it probably doesn’t. Many traditional fitness devices, including equipment that you use at the gym, can’t give you an accurate report of the amount of calories that your body has burned during exercise. Many of these machines rely on predetermined estimates that are based on your height, weight, gender and age. The flaw with this formula is that we are all unique and every person’s body reacts to exercise differently. Luckily, the next step in fitness technology is here, and it revolves around YOU.

Introducing the latest, smartest fitness monitor on the market, the Spree headband. This revolutionary technology provides a way to accurately find your optimal performance zone by incorporating Spree’s advanced Performance Optimization Device, or POD, that fits securely in a headband while you workout. The Spree headband not only tracks your calories burned, heart rate, distance, speed, and time during your workout, but it is the first and only on the market to incorporate your body temperature, sending your body’s output data to your smart phone app, giving you a comprehensive real time report that is easy to understand.

Unlike most expensive heart rate monitors, this impressive fitness monitor sets you free from the constraints of a chest strap, making your workout more comfortable and enjoyable (we call it Spreedom). The POD in the headband will measure your unique accomplishments to provide you with data that accurately reflects your workout. Having this data enables you to observe when you are performing at your body’s optimal level and help you determine which portions of your workout could use improvement or adjustment. One of those adjustments could be in calorie counting.

Calorie counting has become an important part of many people’s lives. We all know that the amount of calories burned has to be higher than the calorie intake in order to lose weight and the opposite in order to gain weight. Spree uses three metrics to determine the calorie output. Heart rate with motion (step count, etc.) and temperature together can provide more accurate calorie number than all other devices. Because let’s face it, even a couple hundred calories makes a difference! This could be very useful if you are on a diet and are tracking the amount of calories expended during exercise or if you just want another goal to reach during your workout.

Spree’s comprehensive monitoring may be just the thing you need to fully understand your body’s potential, taking your workout to a whole new level.
