Lets take a look at the new fitness sensation Fitbit. What is it and
how does it work? Most importantly,
how do we incorporate it into our fitness regime?
Fitbit consists of a family of products
designed to track every part of your day
– including activity, exercise, food, weight
and sleep – to help you stay motivated,
and see how small steps make a big
impact. There’s something for every taste,
budget and technical requirement from
the everyday category of wrist bands to
performance-specific watches.
All Fitbit products track steps, distance,
calories burned and active minutes. All
but the most basic Fitbit also track sleep
patterns. At the performance end of the
range you’ll also have access to things
like heart rate and GPS tracking. All of
the products feature wireless syncing and
online and mobile tools, such as the Fitbit
app to help track your exercise, sleep,
hydration and food, and connect with
friends.
Seeing your progress can really help
you realise what’s possible, and investing
in a Fitbit may help to take you on the
next step of your health and fitness
journey.
Fitbit was built on the premise that
fitness is not just about gym time; it’s
about all the time. So, it can be a great
addition to your fitness regime.
There are many things to consider when choosing a
health and fitness regime to follow through with.
for example:
• What type of exercise to choose: indoor, outdoor or a mixture of both? Running, walking,
cycling, swimming, yoga, pilates, dancing, group fitness, a team sport, or something else?
• Who to exercise with: just yourself, with a buddy, in a group, or to enlist the help of a
personal trainer?
• What nutrition guidelines to follow: enlist the help of a nutritionist, or just cut back on
processed food, for example?
• Balance: how will you ensure you get a good balance of enough rest and recovery as well as
the right frequency, duration and intensity of exercise?
• Motivation: how will you motivate yourself to get out the door in the first place?!
Professional advice from a registered exercise professional should always be your first port
of call. They can help get you set up with an appropriate personalised programme, help you
with exercise techniques, and help you stay accountable to your goals.
Once you’re in the swing of things you may find you want some extra assistance to ramp
up your progress towards your goals. investing in a Fitbit could help you to achieve this,
especially if you’re a ‘details’ person who likes to be well organised and able to measure
progress from
each and every workout. Similarly, if you find you’re in a bit of a rut and could do with a
mini accountability ‘buddy’, then a Fitbit could be
just the ticket.
