Health and Fitness Blog: Fitbit

Everyday wrist wear can motivate people to get large amounts of steps in.

One trend that seems to be taking the world by storm is health and fitness trackers/watches. Among the many different brands out there, one of the most popular and highest rated trackers is Fitbit.

A Fitbit is a health and fitness tracker that you wear while you go about your day. It is an easy way to track your movement and can help boost your fitness if you make the most out of them. It syncs to your phone via bluetooth, and you put the sensor around your wrist and it tracks your steps, distance traveled, calories burned and your sleep patterns.

When you get a Fitbit, you are able to set up a goal. Your goal can be changed at any time, but having a goal keeps you to be more motivated and it cheers you on, telling you when you’re getting close to reaching your goals. It pushes you to reach your 10,000 step goal, makes you work harder and celebrates your achievement by giving you a fancy badge.

Another nice feature that a Fitbit has is that it monitors how active you are from the morning to night. It even monitors your sleep patterns. It shows you how often you were awake, how restless you were and the time you spent restlessly turning about. It also calculates your average sleep time for the week.

A fun thing that a Fitbit includes is a support system. You can challenge your friends and compete to get the most steps in a week, while cheering on or taunting your them. Being social can make you more competitive and work harder to try and beat your friends .

Fitbits are a great thing to have in order to keep you motivated to reach your goals and have fun challenging your friends.
