On your marks. Get set. Go.
Your new Sony Ericsson Xperia
™
X8 is pre-loaded with fitness apps so all you need to
do to get fit is switch on, lace up, pop your X8 into the free fitness armband, then head
out for a run or a cycle. Your phone will do all of the tracking, timing and motivating for you.
But the X8 is so much more than a fitness partner. Head to the back of this booklet to
see what else your smartphone can do.
Fitness armband
Made from durable, breathable neoprene, the armband has an adjustable Velcro strap
so it should sit tight and stay comfy as you run or cycle.
Your X8 handset will slip neatly into the pocket. Need to use your phone on the run?
No problem. Access the touch screen through the clear front of the pocket.
And if you’re running at night, there are two light reflectors so everyone can see you coming.
Calorific – an app that’ll help you watch what you eat
Rather than add up calories – which is never as precise as it seems –
Calorific gives the food you’re eating a ‘healthy rating’.
It’s simple: veggies are colour-coded green, while pizzas are red. With a yellow option
inbetween. Type in what you’re eating and the app chooses which category the
food belongs to.
The app allocates your food choice to a bar graph. You can easily see how many red,
yellow and green foods you’re eating – encouraging you to scoff less red foods –
and lots more greens.
