Just in case you had any doubts over the fitness the Kinect and PS Move actually demand of you, THQ’s teamed up with Adidas to bring its MiCoach fitness tracker to your lounge room early next year.
Knocking off some of that winter flab will be a little easier with Adidas’ MiCoach app, which helps you plan and track a cardio regimen. MiCoach uses your phone’s GPS to monitor your speed keep up with a targeted pace.
Adidas miCoach is a fitness activity tracking system similar to Nike+, except it gives you more data – including heart rate information – and has a sexy voice to guide you through workouts. Yes, it costs more, but it also does more.
The Adidas miCoach system is supposed to guide you through workouts by providing audio feedback as it keeps track of your vital stats. To me, it seems a bit like a Nike+ with more options and an angry coach’s shouting.
