The last few weeks not so much -- I'm half-bear and like to hibernate once winter hits. Plus it needs a new battery.<br /><br />But I love the charts and tracking. I loved getting the badges to say I've walked 500kms and 1000kms. I think it will be a while until I reach the next big number.<br /><br />(This is actually my third. I've managed to lose two. The fact I've re-purchased is my testimonial.)Bronwyn Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720477786460767921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-31600854315546837512014-07-04T20:47:02.191+10:002014-07-04T20:47:02.191+10:00OMG Barb, I want one.

Actually, I have to confess that I am a bit of a pushover for the advertising channel things that promise health/fitness miracles so I tend to avoid it these days! I've tried a few things including one of the ab thingies (can't remember what it was called - not a great success and not as easy as promised either because I hurt my neck using it!) <br /><br />But your Fitbit really does sound like a useful thing. Something that encourages me to exercise is just what I need! How interesting that you can monitor your sleep quality and see that it's much better when you've done some exercise.<br /><br />Thanks for telling us about your Fitbit... I'm off to investigate.Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.com
