(4) Digital products are not required
As wearable technology products become smaller, faster, and more ubiquitous, some athletes are embracing a connected future, using a variety of digital products to monitor their sports data. But others believe that discovering their feelings will reveal more to them than any high-tech wearable device. Kieran Lum, a 25-year-old professional runner who runs on a simple Timex triathlon watch without GPS or heart rate monitor, has set a new Canada record for indoor and outdoor 3,000 meters. As it turns out, digital products aren’t a must-have for everyone. In the future of fitness, people can choose whether to use digital products according to their preferences and needs, whether they rely on technology or their own feelings, they can find a fitness method that suits them.
