Technology Blog #4

My next technology blog was going to be on Powtoon.com. Since we had to review Powtoon for homework, I decided to focus on the second best thing, Fitbit. Some of you may have a Fitbit and may already have the app, but in case you don't I will give you a little synopsis about what Fitbit is and how it could make your life easier . Fitbit is a calorie counter, weight watcher, sleep counter, and exercise tracker all in one. The Fitbit device is a small chip that can be inserted into any of the wrist bands that apply to the product. The wristbands vary depending on how much you would like to pay. Below I have the different types of bands. The attachments include a heart rate monitor, time , date, and even your step count. The reason why I chose Fitbit is because I utilize Fitbit every single day.

 I have the Fitbit Flex, which displays only the step count. If I would like to find out my daily caloric intake, number of steps taken on a given day, or  even my sleep  would have to utilize the Fitbit app. Fitbit is helpful for me because it gets me through my day. I can challenge my friends in running or any other exercise they partake in. My girlfriend and I challenge each other every week to something called a "weekly showdown" in which we battle to see who can get the most steps by the end of the week. Its great to be competitive, but even better to be healthy. Click on the Fitbit app icon below to find out more!

  2. Fitbits are a great piece of technology. It's amazing what such a little device can do. I like this technology because it helped my mom get back to walking and encouraged her to finish her steps each day. I love that you and your girlfriend have competitions! :)

  4. I have always wanted to try a Fitbit. I think they are the neatest thing and can really help you get healthy. I was in the hospital this summer and all the everyone had them on and they would compete with each other just like you and your girlfriend. I think this is something I will be checking out in the future. Thank you for all the information about them. I really had no idea what they were and how much they could do.

  7. I'll probably never had a FitBit because I tend to not move for days at a time but I think that it's one of the coolest pieces of technology around these days.
