Fun Fitness with my Fitbit

in health •  7 years ago 

A couple years ago I received a Christmas gift from my Grandma and it was the Fitbit. I started wearing it everyday and quickly learned the amount of steps I was getting was dreadful.

The daily goal is 10,000 steps, and being the competitive person I am, I felt that I had to get 10,000 steps now that I could see how many steps I am taking. I also started entering step competitions with my friends to keep me accountable.

I don't always win these competitions but it just adds a little fun to counting steps. It has encouraged me to find new fun ways to get more activity.

Now I walk to the grocery store or bike instead of driving. I have found it is much less stressful than trying to drive in heavy traffic and I feel much more accomplished afterwards (p.s. Thank you @starrkravenmaf for the hat)

Fitbit's workout feature allows you to track a variety of exercises too. My favorite one is using the biking feature and it tracks my distance, time, speed, and heart rate as I ride.

Other than just steps and activity, Fitbit gives you reminders to move and tracks your sleep, heart rate, water intake and weight loss.

I have lost 20 pounds since adding the Fitbit and it has helped me live a more active lifestyle. I think fitness trackers are great (not only the Fitbit) and can help everyone achieve their fitness goals, big or small.

Bought a fit bit and haven't used it till date. Its so complicated to change from watches to this each day -.-

I never wore a watch before this, but I could imagine it would be different.

I just recently purchased a fitbit and so loving it!! It does keep me accountable and I love that I can track my food too right in the app. Also love the competition as well. Great post!

Thank you for your comment! I used to sync it with MyFitnessPal when I tracked my food and it helped me so much! I'm glad you like your fitbit and the post :)
