At a group session where the mobile devices were tested, Analytical Lead at Google, Mr Abdulsalam Abdullateef demonstrated how a variety of Android apps and Android wearable devices can be used during exercise or just to make daily activity much easier, e.g checking the weather news, asking for directions, surfing the internet, taking dictation( Kindly see your copy of OK Google, Let’s Recap, for a description of the devices and apps e.g Tabata and Fit App, which works with an accelerometer on Android smart watches to measure distance walked, calories burned, heart rate, etc during workouts)
Then the fun began! Participants were put through their paces with aerobics exercises; cycling and a Zumba session.
