To me it seems a waste of money
... but that might be because I am too lazy to ever go for a run
Oh but you can use them for other things too. Running isn't my strong point either!

but what's the need?
I won't get any more fit just become some gadget records what I'm doing,
I'd probably just end up feeling guilty for not exercising more (but not actually start doing more )

Well, I'm getting to be an old lady now - 49 in a few months and 50 next
year eeek!!!!!
So I thought I would try to get fitter for my 50th.
Im on a diet, already lost 6 pound in 3 weeks. I was thinking of trying to get
walking around more. As I understand it a fit bit can be used to track your
steps and mileage, it can be linked to my diet app to check what calories
I have left and it can be used to monitor sleeping habits.
Plus calories burnt from other activities.
I was just wondering if they are worth getting, or is it a here today gone tomorrow
gadget fad.
Plus I want to be a fit bit!

I got one for free a couple of years ago from my job when they were really trying to push active lifestyles. I used it when prizes and gift cards were involved, but lost interest afterwards.

=========================================================
NOTES:
1.JumpRope= without stopping
2.Medicine Ball=Your either going to hit it like you do the Hand Pads in the Ring. Its like a small Heavy Bag. Or throw it while lying on the floor with your arms or legs to work your stomach. Or Lie on the floor while your trainer drops it on your stomach or sides while you contract your muscles when it hits (old school).
3.Calisthenics= the following floor work:
Sit-Ups: Four Sets of 10 Reps
First Set are like Normal Sit-Ups, except for each repetition you stop half way on the "down" end of the sit up, and hold it for a slow count of 10 before your back can touch the floor.
For the other three sets, instead of bending both legs at the knees, bend your right leg underneath your left leg. And when you go to the "up" position, twist your body around so that you touch your right elbow to your left knee, then your left elbow to your right knee before you start toward the down position again. Essentially, you're twisting your upper body to each side with each rep you do. Do 10 like that, including the slow count on the down part of the exercise. Then switch legs. Do the last set the same way.
Upper Body:
25 Push-Ups
10 Pull-Ups
25 Push-Ups
10 Pull-Ups
25 Push-Ups
10 Pull-Ups
Sometimes the old ways are the best. You do the above and you had a great workout and a will have a sculpted and healthy body.
No radiating wrist device needed. you can spend the extra money on yourself, hubby or the kids.

I said I want to be fit and slim, not cream crackered. Lol
Ps would 4 hours of gardening, two hours of housework and a 40 minute walk
meet the above.
From what I can gather, the devices collect data, you then can down load it later
to your phone, so there is no need to have them permemantly linked to wifi.
Good point though about the radiation.

the best way to start the day out with the perfect fitness ideal/method, is to -
read the Bible first, even one sentence, it will stay with you throughout the day
and who knows how many ways it may just play-out and bring a few blessings?

I got one in the end, a friend showed me her's.
Its brilliant, one of the deciding factors is that it vibrates on your wrist if
you get a text or phone call. Due to my aunt having an alarm pendent and
having several falls over the years, I have to take my phone everywhere in case
she falls and presses her alarm. It means in church I have to put my phone on
silent vibrate and hold it in the service. At work I
have my phone ringer on very low but I worry I can't hear it across the office
Other places too are a problem where I have to put my phone on quiet or silent.
Now I can leave my phone in my bag and the Fitbit vibrates instead - brilliant
It's got loads of other features as well, it monitors your steps shows how far you have
walked/ran you can set the length of your walking and running stride. It automatically
knows when you are walking, running and doing aerobic exercise and calculates
the calories burnt and the intensity.
You can set goals, for example to do 10,000 steps a day - it sends you little reminders
to tell you how many you still need to do. You can also set it to how many minutes of
exercise you want to do each day and lots of other things.
It works out your resting and exercise heart beat - it seems accurate I've taken my pulse
a few times to test it. Then calculates your fitness level compared to others of the same
age based on your heart, intensity of workouts, gender age etc - apparently I'm average
to good for my age - it is half way in between each.
You can use it as an alarm clock, it vibrates at the time set. It sends you encouraging
little messages and cheers you on which is rather funny.
It does all of the above without wifi switched on. Then when you want you just switch
on the wifi on your mobile app to download the data. If you want to know if your
phone rings then you also need to have the wifi switched on.
The actual app on your phone uses the data to show your records, exercise charts,
how you are doing and lots of other things.
Plus you can link it up to various other fitness and exercise apps. I've been trying
an app with various exercise routines to follow on my iPad. The
Anyway I've found it to be useful, especially when linked to other apps.
Ive lost 7lb so far in 3.5 weeks. I started dieting before I got the Fitbit, but it
does seem to make it easier to keep track.

Many people like them because they track your movement and give you feedback. The new economy is information driven. The wave of the future, peeps!
