The
item that I have chosen for this weeks review is the Fitbit. What is it you
ask? It is a tiny battery operated wireless activity tracker. Why is this so
grand? Let me explain.
The Fitbit tracks your movement
using technology similar to that in a Wii remote. It doesn’t need to be as tech
savvy as the X-Box Connect, since it doesn’t need to see you. The tiny Fitbit
tracker is about the size of a quarter and has its own handy dandy little clip
that holds it. Now the part that I found the coolest is that you can hook it on
the center gore of your bra! If you have bigger girls it gets complete
camouflage! If you are less fortunate you can always stick it in your pocket,
but this seemed too risky to me as I lose most things in my pocket.
Now you might be thinking “okay so
it tracks movement who care?” Well you should! The Fitbit counts your steps
taken, distance walked and calories burned and sends it all straight to any
Android or IPhone. By downloading the Free App from Fitbit.com you can check
your activity level at any time without digging out the tracker. You can also
use the App to track your calorie consumption. My favorite part about this is
that you can input your own data since I am weird about using other people’s
calculations.
The best part about the Fitbit?
Last week I went from taking less then 11,000 steps per day to more than
15,000. I love this because I can compete against someone just like me, me!
-Strive for improvement, not
perfection!
