Okay, so I guess it's not really a toy, but I am so excited to use this new baby!
This is called a fitbit flex. I am in no way affiliated with this brand and was not asked to promote it or blog about it. I am just simply so excited to try it out and share my results with all of you!
I've been debating on whether or not to get a Polar FT4, a heart rate monitor watch that also keeps track of your calories burned, but it comes with a chest strap for the HRM, and I'm not one for wearing straps across my chest. I don't even like wearing clothes, at least not layers and heavy clothes. Stop thinking dirty, that's not what I meant!
Anyways, I've been searching all over the cities surrounding me, and even contemplated driving an hour to pick up a Polar watch. While I was on the phone with a woman at Best Buy, she asked me if I had heard of a product called fitbit. She explained to me what it was all about and that her physician actually recommended it to her! I did a little online research and read some reviews, and decided it was more of what I had been looking for (and it's sporty/stylish too). I've never been a watch person anyways- that's why I have my phone out 24/7- without it, I wouldn't know the time, my plans, or phone numbers. Anyways, I called all of the local sporting good stores and no one carried the fitbit flex. So, I searched at Walmart and Target. Lucky me, Target carries them. I called and the young man on the phone said that he would run to the back and see if he could find one, because he knew they weren't on the shelf yet and he wasn't sure if he could ring it up because it wasn't supposed to hit the floor until June 16. Lucky me, he found one and he was able to ring it up! YES!
So far, it's been easy to use, with an easy setup too! PLUS it's rechargeable- it doesn't take a battery. The charge is supposed to last 5 days, but we'll see! My favorite feature- it connects to MyFitnessPal.
I recently RE-started my C25K. Yep, again. Only this time, I have double motivation. I have a new tracker, and..... I got a new jogging stroller! Hallelujah!
Thank you for following along ya'll.
