So, I am a member of Humana Vitality through my insurance which is great because they have a ton of incentives and rewards for being active. I was previously tracking all of my workouts with mapmyrun, but then Humana changed everything and are no longer accepting information from this app. Bummer!! However, I had enough points to order a Fitbit device, for FREE!!
I know a few people that have these and they really like them, so I thought "it's free and highly recommended, why not."
It came just a little over a week ago and I don't think I've taken it off yet (maybe to charge like once). I have reached my 10,000 steps everyday..... getting those points!! Oh yeah, as long as I walk 10,000 steps per day, I get points. At the end of they year, I usually turn in my points through Humana's reward system called Vitality Mall and get Gift Cards to Macy's and Amazon!
Christmas spending is always a lot easier with the free gift cards and it's an incentive to keep moving every day.
I also previously had the Nike Fuelband, it was't bad; however, it just didn't feel right to me. The Nike Fuel was pointless, I had to keep pushing the button for the information I wanted to see on the screen and it was pretty bulky. I really liked using my mapmyrun app because I could turn it on at the beginning of a workout and just go. Miles tracked and points received, thank you! But given the circumstances of Humana changing it up, I will take a free Fitbit and be happy.
The Fitbit also comes with a handy app that you can check every now and then to see how many steps you're at, you can track your activity, your food, your running route, a ton of things. They also have bands in different colors, the black was the one that came with the device, but they have pink, grey, turquoise, etc.
So, if you're in the market for a fitness device, I do really like the fitbit, you can track a ton of stuff, it's easy to wear, the battery lasts a long time, you can wear it in the shower, and the app is really easy to use.
