One of the features that makes the BitGym cardio app special is the ability to exercise through beautiful scenery and feel truly connected to the place, by having the scenery move at the pace of your cardio exercise. Research has shown that immersion is increased through interactivity (sensory feedback closely tied to your physical activity) and increased immersion leads to increased enjoyment, motivation, and mental and physical benefits.
BitGym makes this a reality through numerous options, even if you have no specialized exercise hardware whatsoever:
-
Your smartphone/tablet camera: Set up to use BitGym's patented technology for detecting your exercise speed without any proprietary connections to any hardware.
-
Connect a cardio sensor or FiTness Machine Service (FTMS) cardio machine: use the Bluetooth interface to wirelessly connect to a sensor.
-
Use BitGym on Apple TV: Use a cardio sensor via Bluetooth as described above, or simply drop your Siri remote in your pocket.
-
Set the speed you prefer: If none of the above solutions are a good fit, you can have BitGym progress steadily at a comfortable speed, which you can modify as you wish during your workout with a simple swipe.
