    Cooler, comfier upper

    Double jacquard mesh, a gusseted tongue and a redesigned heel all work together for a snug fit that stays breathable and blister-free – yes, please.

    APMA Approved

    It’s officially approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association, which basically means it’s foot doctor–approved for supporting your stride.

      “I Tried The Garmin Index S2 Smart Scale And It Changed The Way I Measure My Health”

      by

      Ah, the humble bathroom scale. That occasional moment of truth (or confrontation) as you tentatively step on, hoping for some sign of progress; perhaps a smidge of muscle gained or a whisper of fat lost. But that lone number rarely tells the full story, especially when you’re taking a more holistic approach to your health.We all know weight alone can be misleading when you’re gaining muscle and losing fat. You simply can’t measure true progress from one stark figure on a decades-old bathroom scale. But a new-gen scale might be here to help you dive deeper. And one WH editor has put it to the test in order to help you decide if it’s worth upgrading.READ MORE: Can You Gain Weight In One Day? 11 Reasons Why The Scale Says You Gained Weight OvernightWe Tested The Garmin Index Scale S2The Garmin Index Scale S2 is a far cry from those old-school devices that offer nothing beyond your mass in kilos. For the past few months, as I’ve navigated the post-baby recovery period and focused on making healthier choices, this gadget has become surprisingly indispensable. When I first got it, I’ll admit I was hesitant. I was still healing, giving myself grace: to rest, to walk instead of run, to eat what I needed without obsessing over every macro. The idea of stepping on a high-tech scale felt… intense.However, I didn’t feel pressure to focus on the number. What’s brilliant is that this scale gives you so much more, and it quickly shifted how I track progress. The extra features became my preferred metrics, and I’d recommend them to anyone on a similar journey.READ MORE: The Best Fibre For Weight Loss – And How To Use ItWhat The Garmin Index S2 Tracks (That Your Old Scale Doesn’t) Body Fat PercentageNot all fat is bad. Your body needs some to function properly. The scale shows how much is essential fat versus stored fat – incredibly helpful if you’re strength training or working on body recomposition.Body Mass Index (BMI)It calculates this automatically to give you a general sense of whether you’re in a healthy range for your height, without you having to do any number crunching.Hydration Monitoring This was hands-down my favourite feature. I’ll admit it, I don’t always drink enough water (busy woman problems!), but this metric gave me a helpful nudge. The scale shows your body water percentage – that’s the percentage of your total body mass made up of fluid. While it doesn’t measure exactly how much you’re drinking, it offers a useful snapshot of your hydration status. And trust me, spotting a dip in those numbers is a great reminder to grab that water bottle.Skeletal Muscle & Bone MassEver wonder how much of your weight is actual muscle or bone? This scale breaks it down for you and shows your muscle-building progress over time.Garmin Connect SyncYou can sync the scale with your Garmin Connect app, which means all your data – from hydration to body fat to muscle mass – is stored in one place. It’s especially handy if you’re already using other Garmin devices, as it integrates seamlessly with your existing goals and metrics.READ MORE: 10 Reasons Why You’re Lifting Weights But Not Losing Weight, According To ExpertsMultiple ProfilesYes indeed! This scale can track multiple people’s progress (up to 16 different ones, to be precise), so whether it’s your partner, housemate or the whole family, everyone can have their own profile. It’s super easy to switch between them and sync the data.Daily Weigh-InsCurious how your body fluctuates during the day? You can weigh yourself more than once, though a word of advice: don’t overanalyse every reading. It’s best for spotting trends. For weight loss, I’d recommend weekly weigh-ins at the same time of day for a more consistent snapshot.Shop The Devices Index™ S2 Smart Scale White

      Index™ S2 Smart Scale

      Overall FeedbackWhat I really appreciated was being able to see more than just a number on a scale, which allowed a greater understanding of what’s going on beneath the surface. So, if you’re a data nerd who loves graphs and trend tracking, or someone like me who simply wants to feel more in tune with their body, the Garmin Index S2 offers something for both ends of the spectrum.

      Why Your Running Takkies Are Pretty Bad Hiking Shoes 

      by

      No, your running shoes, responsible for your latest PB (well done!), won’t fare well on the mountain. Here, why running takkies are bad hiking shoes and what to wear instead. I’ve been (reluctantly) hiking since I was old enough to walk. Since then, my parents have always been pedantic about my sister and me wearing the correct shoes for hiking. They always wore proper hiking boots at the first inkling of a fallen leaf or scatter of stones. Fast forward thirty years, and hanging out on the mountain, I’m always seeing questionable footwear: running shoes with stacked heels, soft, bouncy soles navigating uneven terrain and regular sneakers you’d wear to the mall getting scuffed up on the trail. “People do think that they can run and hike in them [lifestyle shoes],” says podiatrist Erin Amy Dayaram. “Those will keep many healthcare professionals in business.” With that in mind, Dayaram explains why your running and lifestyle takkies are pretty bad hiking shoes. Why Are Running Shoes A Bad Idea For Hiking?Basically, running and hiking shoes are made for very different purposes. “Running shoes are generally designed for forward motion on relatively smooth surfaces like roads or tracks,” explains Dayaram. “They often have a cushioned, flexible sole, which makes them comfortable for running but less stable on uneven terrain – the “bouncy” nature of running shoes (this is material- and technology-dependent) can increase the risk of ankle sprains on a hike, especially when navigating rocky or sloped trails.”Are Lifestyle Shoes Ok On The Mountain? According to Dayaram and most footwear experts, your everyday lifestyle shoe, perfect for errands, coffee and sightseeing, won’t cut it for mountain time. “I personally and professionally would not recommend them for the purposes of long walks or hiking, particularly hiking, because of the terrain and risk of injury, often felt after the hike or long walk or mostly, after the holiday.” READ MORE: The Best Running Shoes For Speed, Distance & TrailHow To Pick The Right Shoe For Hiking If you’re going up the mountain, there are a few non-negotiables, says Dayaram. “It’s essential to focus on the sole and heel design, as these features are key to stability and injury prevention”. And, by nature, they’re more rigid, specifically to “support lateral movements and uneven surfaces,” adds Dayaram. Here’s what to look for: Sole Find a shoe with a sole that isn’t flexible and has good traction. Raised patterns on the sole, called lugs, are designed to grip uneven terrain. You want to find a shoe with these features. Heel A slightly raised heel absorbs shock, reducing impact on your ankles and knees, says Dayaram. “Look for a shoe with a heel that is stable and reinforced, which helps prevent ankle rolls by keeping your foot secure,” she adds. Fit “Choose shoes that feel comfortable from the first wear or require minimal breaking in,” advises Dayaram. “The last thing you want is to spend your holiday dealing with blisters.” Durability Those techy-sounding words describing your shoe? They’re materials are specifically engineered to take on the trails. “Look for durable materials that are both breathable and water-resistant,” says Dayaram. “This ensures that your shoes can handle different weather conditions and terrains.” Also, says Dayaram, look for a reinforced toe box and heel, which adds comfort and support. READ MORE: The Gross Truth About Your Smartwatch (And How To Fix It)Hiking Shoes To Try These trail takkies look cute and won’t render your feet unwalkable the next day. Women’s Hi-Tec Barchan

      by

      Brooks Running has announced the release of the Glycerin 22, a running shoe designed to provide a plush, responsive ride for those who crave effortless comfort. The Glycerin 22 features Brooks’ latest innovation, DNA Tuned technology, which combines dual-size nitrogen-infused cells for soft landings and smooth, powerful toe-offs. Built for runners seeking a distraction-free experience, the Glycerin 22 ensures every step feels natural, fluid and supported.Smooth, Stable Transitions and CushioningThe Glycerin 22 takes Brooks’ commitment to comfort and performance to new heights with DNA Tuned, an advanced midsole technology that seamlessly blends two types of nitrogen-infused foam – the same technology that is featured on the Glycerin Max. Larger cells in the heel provide plush landings, while smaller cells in the forefoot ensure responsive toe-offs. This gives runners a smooth transition from heel to toe. This combination delivers a perfectly balanced ride for runners who seek stability and softness in one seamless package.READ MORE: 34 Running Tips Every Beginner Needs To KnowKey FeaturesThe Glycerin 22 features DNA Tuned cushioning, engineered with dual-size cell technology that adapts to each phase of your stride.
