3 Ways to Keep Your Phone Safe During Your Workout

Our phones are incredible devices with so much technology packed into them that it’s hard to find a use for it at times. However, one of the most popular uses of a smartphone nowadays is to use it as a fitness assistance.

For instance, it’s easy to drop your phone during a run, it might be stolen if you carry it around everywhere and there’s a good chance that you might even lose it. So here are three useful tips that will help you keep your phone safe during your workouts.
