Gadgets – Friend or Foe?

I spent weeks researching what was the best gadget to track my swimming activity. Initially, it was because I wanted another watch, but it has slowly dawned on me that the new tech on my wrist is helping me deliver a better performance all round. My swim speed is increasing along with my muscle mass (yes honestly) and my metabolic age is through the floor!

Now that I’ve conquered the physical side of things, it’s time to try something that can help with healthier eating.

These are some of the top apps* as of now for meal planning and calorie counting. Who knows, one of these may save me buying that Victorian girdle!
