This isn’t one of those lofty it-costs-too-much-for-me-to-ever-consider-purchasing covets. But it is one that I’d still really like to get. It’s the Fitbit. What is the Fitbit? Well, I’m so glad you asked. It is a little watch-like device you wear on your wrist that helps you get active, eat better, manage weight, and sleep better. And I don’t know about you, but I could definitely use a little motivation in those arenas.
Here’s how it works:
It measures your activity {steps} each day, your sleep each night, and lets you set goals for yourself.
I think this would help me make sure I’m more active each day. I do {sometimes} get lazy and don’t always take the stairs when I should, etc. etc. So, like I said…this would help me out. You can check out your stats on the computer or on an app. Pretty convenient. You can compete against friends & family who use the Fitbit too. I love me some friendly competition.
There’s only one problem. It’s not the cutest thing that I ever did see and it’s definitely not what I would choose to sport on my wrist all day. And in order for this to work, you have to wear it all day {don’t forget to take it off to shower etc. and give that skin some space}.
But there’s a solution on the horizon! Tory Burch is collaborating with Fitbit to create an option that actually looks a bit more fashionable and not so sporty. So there will soon be an answer for the fashion loving fitness people of the world. And I can’t wait to see what it looks like in the flesh so that I can officially decide if I need to purchase. Until then, there are these sketches from Tory Burch:
Intriguing no?
There are some other devices like these out there, but after some research, I decided I liked Fitbit best. Plus, they’re one of the few trying to make it look more like jewelry and less like a rubber band. Read about your various options here.
What a great way to get a bit more fit! hehe
