Heart rate lags when starting an effort on the bike and can drift as a workout progresses whereas our Smart Power Trainers and Kinetic\u00a0Fit app\u00a0provide\u00a0an\u00a0instantaneous read out showing how hard you&#8217;re going and will do so for the entire workout. The result is a more efficient training session with steadier efforts, measurable gains and more accurate post-ride data including:\u00a0calories burned, average wattage, total training stress and intensity.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: bold;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7023\" src=\"\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/RoadMachine_Smart_phone-Kinetic-02-10-16.jpg\" alt=\"RoadMachine_Smart_phone Kinetic 02-10-16\" width=\"584\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/RoadMachine_Smart_phone-Kinetic-02-10-16.jpg 780w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/RoadMachine_Smart_phone-Kinetic-02-10-16-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/livetoplaysports.com\/news-press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/RoadMachine_Smart_phone-Kinetic-02-10-16-500x296.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What does the Kinetic Fit\u00a0app do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Kinetic Fit is a cycling app\u00a0that not only measures and records speed, power, cadence, heart rate,\u00a0and calories, but also syncs to your phone or tablet via Bluetooth to provide a fitness test, hundreds of workouts, and guided training plans with scheduling\u00a0and more.

What\u00a0our inRide sensor and Fit app add to your training is guidance. The hardware and software work together not just to tell you what you are doing, but what you should be doing. You\u00a0get targeted workouts, a training plan, post-ride\u00a0analysis, and much more. The software doesn\u2019t control the resistance, but you get data to control your training.<\/p>\n<p>The sensor communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth Smart (BLE) to\u00a0compatible smart devices. Speed and cadence data from the Kinetic fluid resistance unit is translated into power in the\u00a0Kinetic inRide and Kinetic Fit apps \u2014 and displayed in our\u00a0guided\u00a0workouts with power and cadence targets. Riders perform workouts based on their current fitness levels. The apps provide targets to keep riders pedaling at the optimal cadence and the correct percentage of their threshold power.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s coming next?<\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;re offering an Extended\u00a0Free Trail Period for\u00a0our new<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/kinetic-fit\/id1023388296?ls=1&amp;mt=8\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>\u00a0iOS app for Kinetic\u00a0Fit<\/strong>.<\/a> Version 1.0 for iOS is now available and has several new features that will evenutally become subscription-only features.
