Has anyone found this successful with strength training/weights? I plan to buy the H7 bluetooth

I use the H7/Loop combo for both cardio and strength training. The loop will not register much activity during strength training -- I usually get credit for a few hundred steps -- but using the H7 will create a training session for you where you can see your heart rate during your workout along with a total calorie burn. For comparison, I usually get about 475-500 calories burned during a 40 minute cardio workout and about 175 during a similar length weight lifting session. I'm not sure what you mean by successful, so hope this helps and you can definitely use this combo during your workouts.

Yes, as I am using it now with Verizon. I get from 1 to 2 bars improvement in strength.

I've used this HR with Digifit on an Android. Used to work great (~6 months ago). Now it consistently does not initially and repeatedly disconnects during workouts. I'm not sure if it's the HR or the app, but it's extremely frustrating.I've experimented with the iDoMove app, but haven't used it enough to really comment on it.

Just looking at mine, it support so many interfaces, that it may well work. However as I said, I did not purchase it for your problem. If your alternative is more expensive and this is less, then why not give it a try. You can resale it if it does not workout.

I had great success with transmitting sounds/music from non-bluetooth devices to bluetooth receivers. It is really a marvelous device. I am looking forward to the vendor providing a device that would make landline phones transmit to sound-cancelling bluetooth headsets.

I use it for weight training, the elliptical (when I have to use it), running and Insanity/Asylum/T25 videos. I am a long distance runner by nature and habit. I have had no issues switching among activities with accurate heart rate, time, calories etc.

They just released a new version of the Android app that will work with the RFLKT. Your phone still has to have Bluetooth 4.0 such as the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 etc. The setup with android feels very much beta to me. It took a while and no small amount of fiddling with the apps to get the latest firmware. However once I got everything to work, it has been smooth sailing. Rock solid on rides. No connectivity issues as mentioned in some of the reviews. I put my phone in my back pocket and never give it a second thought.

Did you ever find one a bluetooth or headset that works? I am having a similar problem. My ears and canals are small, so nothing seems to stay on my ear. I was thinking about trying a bluetooth that has headphones that go over your head or behind your neck, have you tried this type? I agree that they need to make these child size as well!

Dear William,Thank you for your question regarding our BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone. The over-ear design of the BTH220 allows them to stay in place during exercise more effectively than traditional headband-style headsets. For this reason, many of our customers use them expressly as a running headset.Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.Thank you,Kinivo Product SupportEmail: support@kinivo.comToll Free: 1-855-4Kinivo (1-855-454-6486)Live Chat: http://support.kinivo.com(Mon-Fri: 9am-5pm Pacific) Dear William,Thank you for your question regarding our BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone.

I have used it while lifting weights and a friend of mine uses it during his boxing work outs. I hope this helps you out.

I would also like to tell people about the Fitness Trends "Ultimate Push Up" I picked up a set for just $10 at my local Big Lots! I havent personally compared its construction to the other models, but I am a former Soldier who weighs a bit over 200 pounds, and I havent noticed ANY problems with this devices structure or construction. It has a fairly solid grip with comfortable foaam covering a hard plastic? I am sure that the foam will start to peel off eventually, but for right now; I couldnt be happier for my $10.

I am not certified in fitness training, but I can say I've used a toner like this for years. I had my original device for 15 years before the tension mechanism snapped. It was a different brand and it was designed to be able to use the device for the legs as well. I couldn't find a replacement for the one I had, but this one definitely works for the upper body. My husband is not toned, he's 65 and has had surgery for spinal stenosis. The stenosis has caused irreversible nerve damage in his arms and legs. He has difficulty using the UB Toner because he no longer has the strength that the average man. If your husband is of average strength, this toner will definitely help him. If he's above average in strength and looking to bulk up, this device will help his upper body, but won't achieve the same results that a woman will get, mainly because your husband may need a heavier degree of tension. The tension on this type of device is not adjustable. Just as an example, if you were working your biceps or triceps, as a woman you might use 5-lb weights, whereas a man might use 10-15 lb weights. In summary, both my husband and I use this device. I am at a higher fitness level than he is and it challenges me and provides great results. My husband struggles with meeting the required amount of repetitions, but it is very beneficial to us both for a low impact toning device. I hope this helps!

I actually do weight-lifting, like yourself, and I can tell you that you won't have any problem with anything snagging or audio issues with these light-weigh earphones. I've bench press, cycled, do sit-ups, you name it with them and I've had no problems. It's pretty solid. The bass quality is probably one of the best, compared to the jaybird which only has treble quality. Depending on how you twist and angle your earpiece hole, towards your ears, you will either get stronger or mild bass quality. Hope that helps.

Hi nancy! Id be happy to answer that. The weights are in front and back! And you cand equally distribute them as well theres fmroom for an extra three pound pocket. Now ive come across another product recommendation id like to share. There is a hyperwear product for men and another for women. Its about half as heavy, But its possibly more functional because it contains a conpression aspect.... You can actually sprint! I hope you weigh both options, The compression hyper wear is about 40 more expensive. Its compression ive aquired is good enough for subtle yoga poses. As i wear my mir.... Daily; its only good for gracile movements. Is sensoray aspect is beneficial and my body has drastically improved. My resting heart rate is is the 90th percentile and my endurance and even my shape in four weeks. I just love it.... Pushing to earn the hyperwear compression to build my body in a balance of motions. 29 has been a major slowing of my quickness I hope this helps...cheers Matt j

Have not tried it. I used the Bluetooth player primarily for the ipod touch during my workouts. I believed there should not be any problem hooking to a bluetooth device as it paired easily with the ipod touch.

Yep. It's one of the best headphones for fitness workouts. I love the sound and bass response. It really isolates the background noises. The only issue I have sometimes the cable can get in the way and the iPhone remote control is delicate. Be careful with the remote. I purchased a separate cable that was just for the Headphones from Polk. Polk customer support is really supportive with the headphones. You can't go wrong with their warranty.

With the headphones and the watch paired to your phone it will receive a call via bluetooth connection. But not worth it if you are considering it to work out with. It does not with stand ANY water sweat or otherwise. Motorola needs to fix the design for those who are active exercisers, not golfers.
