Fitbit
Even the word FITBIT makes me giggle.
I don't know what a fitbit is.
It's the first I've heard of it. I googled it but please tell more.
Who knows, maybe I got one, too.
Do we all know what it is now? It's
one of these. I'm usually the last person to know about new fads because of being such a techno-thickie, so I just assumed they were pretty ubiquitous.
Been ages since I had a fitbit. Sigh.
He didn't have much conversation afterwards though.
I adore you.
My sister and her husband got themselves fitbits, and they sound like really cool gizmos with some well-thought-out features.
My sister warns that if you're pushing a cart in the supermarket, the fitbit won't pick up any of your steps. She lost out on about 2000 steps on one epic shopping trip with her husband.
Which explains why it didn't pick up the hour on the treadmill - because I hold a book while I walk (hence the treadmill) and my arms don't move.
I love it anyway.
I've had one for several years. I'd be happy to be your friend! It's fun to taunt people.
We'll always be friends.
I have to agree that it's an adorable word, though. There's got to be a way to use it to make it entertaining. Now I want to figure out a way to put it into a flash piece.
An over-expensive gimmick that a $5 pedometer or a free smartphone app like Google Fit can replace and do much better. That's pretty much the general idea behind all fitness electronics; just a massive profit margin pushed on the general public with the idea that 99% of the people buying them are going to neglect after a few days. You're better off buying a decent pair of walking shoes and a yoga mat.
I know a woman who's entire work got them. Their health plan offered them for free--mostly because everyone at her work are overweight people who sit all day. She was so excited for it and used it well for three days... until she just gave up, as did just about everyone at her work. She sold it on Craigslist and we went out to a bar for food and drinks.
That's very un-Holiday-Spirit of you.
I like it much better than my gym membership, because a gym membership doesn't work unless you actually go which is something they might have mentioned before I signed up. Besides - my kids gave it to me. So it also has love. My gym membership was totally love deplete.
Not for Christmas, but I have had one since March and it is awesome. As someone who is very metrics-organized, it is pretty much the perfect tool for me. I lost 12 pounds over the past few months and I think having my Fitbit helped a lot!
I've had pedometers in the past and this is way better.
Ezackly - I like it a
lot, even though it didn't count my treadmill-steps. Because a) it has love (hmph @ Osulagh*) and b) it makes me feel fit even though I'm not really. That makes me happier, and me, happy is better for the human race generally. So that makes my fitbit a force for good. It's a fitbit
with super-powers. And it told me that I am a 100% efficient sleeper - which made me very proud.
