It is school time across the country and one of the biggest questions Moms and Dads who stay home have to ask themselves now is, “Now what?”  The house is clean, laundry done, TV is boring, the internet is fun and all, but to lose yourself to it for hours at a time seems kind of silly.  So why not better yourself a bit?  I am a firm believer in working out.  Not only for the health benefits but also to benefit your sanity.  What better way to work out all those events that don’t go our way then by working through them and rising above them.  Tough day with the kids?  Difficult decision to make?  Family members being…well family?  Workout, get a routine going and before you know it your pants will start slipping off, and your stress will start melting away. This new Samsung Galaxy Sport is awesome for workouts, as well.

The camera is awesome- this is a photo I took with the phone. No filter or adjusting anything.

Why not take care of both of these in one shot with the new Samsung Galaxy S 5 Sport ? This phone starts with a stellar Galaxy S5 and throws in some very useful add on’s which make working out a bit more fun and a bit more interesting.  The phone features ways to track your workout through progress and your heart rate as well as educational information about exercise and also access to your music to keep your in the zone for as long as possible.  There is also a great app called MyFitness which tracks your activities by GPS as well as your activity levels, workout details are recorded as well like duration, distance, pace, speed elevation, calories burned and route traveled all in an easy to use app.  What I liked most was the map feature.  So many times I’ve went exploring only to find myself lost and finding something very interesting like a hidden path or a gorgeous pond that I would love to revisit but can’t because I am lost and panicky.  This app takes the lost part away and also give you direction to that magical place again.

The phone is also great for underwater photos and water resistant- so no worries about spills or pools.  One of my favorite features.  And it’s fast like lightning.
