Fit Bits

Are these items any good?

Do they really help you keep track of your fitness?

An amusing toy, or if you join the "club" it becomes some sort of competition with every one trying to outdo each others readings, with some resorting to giving the things to their children to rack up the number of steps, just to claim top spot.

I think most of us are sufficiently intelligent to know when we are taking enough exercise, or not as the case may be.

There seems to be more of this usurping of names/sayings going on lately.....as back in the day, a 'fit bit' was something else entirely.

Another one heard is 'Purple Bricks'.....originally associated with a state of utmost fright!

Run up and down your stairs 20 times each day.

You'll soon be as fit as a fiddle.

Careful, that could get you a ban on sexism grounds.

I suppose that wearing a 'fitbit' could be interesting to see how active playing Bowls actually is. The season will be upon us soon!

If you have a smart phone I wouldn't bother, I use an app on my Samsung which gives me all the info I need when I can be bothered checking.

Did 18,000 steps yesterday wandering from Seacombe to New Brighton and back.

Me and my wife both have fit its. They encourage us to walk more. Set up my wife's for her to do 3000 steps per day to start with, mine for 5000.
There is a cheap one called the Fitbit one that clips onto your clothes or sits in your pocket.
Can be shared on your phone or iPad.
We like them, off to Spain next week, set them for 10,000 while we are there.
I am 72 she 3 years younger.

Fitbit one £49
Fitbit Blaze £160
Hope that helps Ped

yep ,I wear the fit bit 2. I have set my calories to burn at 3000 per day. got it in december and have lost nearly a stone in weight. I try most days to out do the previous target.

It also has a vibrating alarm, so when worn in bed and you get into a deep sleep, It wakes you up .

Love it
