How Fitbit Changes our Lives

From dying batteries, forgetting to put on your Fibit, the addictive habit of checking the Fitbit app, hitting 10,000 steps, challenging your friends, racking up steps by any means, complaining because lifting at Crossfit or in the gym doesn’t help your step count.  Here are a few things I’ve heard people complain about and can relate and chuckle at them at the same time.  My fitbit died so I am not moving until it’s charged! Very common one but if you set mobile track you can still step and count those last vital steps or, Fitbit is charging, move as few steps as possible  as to not waste precious energy or miss out on recorded steps.

Life is not a competition or is it? How many steppers in the challenges have that certain person they need to beat or win the challenge? Don’t answer that...............

10,000 steps is the recommended step target to aim for, unless you are in a competition than its whoever moves the MOST.  I read that 10,000 steps is equivalent to 5 miles, not sure who measured this but I need about 12,000 steps to complete 5 miles.

Who goes to bed without checking their step count. And then walking around quietly until you get to the 10,000 or their daily target step count?

That moment when you realise your only 100 steps from your goal so you jog on the spot or find any excuse to move to get those last 100 steps.

Has anyone managed to put there Fitbit in the washing machine and after a spin they have accumulated 8,000 steps?  It’s true someone in the hustle has done this.

Have you ever noticed in a challenge when the tactical syncing is going on and it starts to have a knock on effect on everyone in the group? And that is why it’s called to hustle!

On the serious side Fitbit is proving to help us get active and with all the other functionality built into devices is really making a difference to our activity and supporting lifestyle changes.
