There is now a way to keep track of the calories you burn.
As I get older, I have become more humble about what I eat and the amount of time I spend exercising each week. I'm finding that in my thirties it's a lot harder to shed the pounds!
As the weather cools down a bit, I am finding that I would much rather spend time walking outside than on the undesirable treadmill inside. I have discovered that walking outside is also good for my mental health. Breathing in the fresh air seems to keep my stress levels down.
As I begin to exercise more and more, I'm finding that I want to keep track of how many calories I burn. A friend of mine has turned me on to the Fitbit. According to Fitbit.com, the Fitbit will keep track of the calories you burn, steps taken, and monitor the distance traveled and even your sleep quality. With a 3D motion sensor, the Fitbit tracks your motion in three dimensions and converts this into useful information about your daily activities.
According to the description, "You can wear the Fitbit on your waist, in your pocket or on undergarments. At night, you can wear the Fitbit clipped to the included wristband in order to track your sleep. Anytime you walk by the included wireless base station, data from your Fitbit is silently uploaded in the background to Fitbit.com."
The Fitbit will run you around $100.00. But the expense seems worth it for all that you get. Plus, how can you put a price on your health? What do you think? Is it worth the money?
