I'll look the Fitbit on the Internet. I certainly use a motivation to move around. I have been swimming daily for the past two months. A friend who is a psychologist told me we need 21 days to build a good habit. I'm so afraid to break my good swimming habit, but in winter I will need something more practical with the cold weather.Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-86221919483618836602014-07-29T13:26:03.525-07:002014-07-29T13:26:03.525-07:00Want to come write about your experience of FitBit...Want to come write about your experience of FitBit on my blog? www.havematwilltri.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02855238890646923488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-25363713739711660402014-07-28T09:25:23.710-07:002014-07-28T09:25:23.710-07:00Thanks, Margaret!

I've tried exercise bikes over the years, but I really prefer simply to walk outside. I'm luck to live in a lovely countryside area so it's a pleasure to exercise outside. I bought my son a Fitbit Flex to motivate him to leave his computer sometimes. When I asked him how many steps he'd taken the other day he'd managed 600! So it's not motivating him very well.Helen Scott Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254001495060374379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-17698942901409263832014-07-28T09:20:42.034-07:002014-07-28T09:20:42.034-07:00Glad it works for you too.

A colleague of mine bought a pedometer watch/bracelet that sounds a lot like your FitBit Flex. Hers cost about a hundred bucks which was too costly for me. I have a feeling a pedometer would be depressing for me as I'd realize how little I move during the day. I've tried so many different exercise tricks. I seem to keep them up for about six weeks and then nothing. Right now, I'm doing the recumbent bike each morning. I've found that whatever I do I have to do first thing in the morning else I don't do it. The good news is that my good cholesterol (HDL) was up 9 points since my doctor's visit four months ago. I think the exercise made the difference.Angela Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265553290894509850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549640562097540413.post-42255604264768677012014-07-24T11:42:46.665-07:002014-07-24T11:42:46.665-07:00An exercycle desk?

My husband gave me a Fitbit for my birthday to replace my old-school pedometer and I'm sold. I love winning badges and receiving the congratulatory emails when I reach my goals. It's a very clever -- and motivational -- program, I agree. Thanks for sharing!
