The three reasons why you need to get a Fitbit One
Many recent articles have demonstrated that the less you move, the more you are likely to die sooner. Well, devices that monitor your movement can be great motivators to get your butt moving.
Wearable technology is still in its infant stage but I am excited to see how it evolves. I have used the Fitbit One for over a year. This little device is so much more than a high-powered pedometer.
Here’s why you need to get one:
1. Motivating feedback.
I love the fact that I look at my daily step count and if I’m not satisfied with the total, I get walking. Around my apartment, taking the dog out, going for a jog, etc. I want to accumulate more. Want to measure the quality of your sleep? Wear the sleeve and wake up to some info. I have a 96% sleep efficiency! That’s one area that doesn’t need much improvement!
2. Fitbit’s website.
All the data accumulated by the Fitbit is sent to a website. When you are in range of the USB connected receiver, the little wonder transmits your daily activity to your Fitbit account. The website then aggregates this information into charts and activity scores. It makes the information so much more relevant and keeps you focused on moving.
3. Social connectivity.
Join groups of other Fitbit users and see what their daily activity is. Connect to fellow Fitbit enthusiasts and compete in a daily race to accumulate more steps. Competition breeds excitement and even more activity.
Devices are getting better at measuring data and analyzing it. The possibilities in health and healthcare are endless. I can see insurance companies offering these products to encourage better habits. Use a Fitbit and receive a 20% healthcare discount. Now that’s real motivation. Get on it insurance companies…
Keep on moving.
