A couple weeks ago I bought a Fitbit and decided to start walking. I am not a fan of aerobics or lifting weights and jogging is out of the question until I get stronger. I started hearing about Fitbits last month. Two of my roommates at BlogHer had them and seemed to really like them. I came home, did some research and decided to buy one! $59 for a wifi device that will track my steps, measure the distance I walk and tell me how many calories I burn sounds pretty fantastic. Best of all, I get to see my results and progress on my iPhone and on my laptop! I love gadgets and I love charts showing my progress…..a perfect combination!
According to studies, a person should walk 10,000 steps a day (roughly 5 miles) in order to get healthy and lose weight. I work at a desk all day so I know that I do not come near the recommended daily suggestion. The first day I wore my Fitbit I was SHOCKED to see just how little I actually moved all day. It was depressing yet motivating. I vowed to make an effort the next day.
I am excited to say the Fitbit is working! I wear my Fitbit everyday and make sure I walk more in order to meet my goals. I synch my Fitbit to my phone everyday and like seeing my stats. It is a very cool feature. I also love the achievements feature. Whenever you achieve a new goal or do a good job your Fitbit will reward you and celebrate your progress by providing Fitbit badges for daily, weekly, even lifetime achievements. I am so happy whenever I earn a badge. It REALLY helps motivate me and keep me on track to achieve my goals!
GIVEAWAY! This is an honest review. I bought a Fitbit and love it so much I decided to write a review and give one away as part of #ShapeUpSept. Once lucky KickAss Living reader will win a Fitbit Zip.
Ways to enter are listed below. Good luck everyone. I know you will love your Fitbit Zip as much as I do.
Colours are lime green, blue, white, charcoal. magenta (my fav).
