I have worn a Fitbit HR for the past year. I love this thing at any time I can look over and get the time or my heart rate, even check on my steps for the day. The problem is when I see others with one, the first thing I want to do is see if I am beating them in any of the things it shows. It starts by asking if they like their Fitbit. Next I say, how many steps you got today? If they are beating me I move on. What’s your heart rate? Ha, I think in my head, mine is lower I win! I will keep going until I find something which I can win at including the price they paid. In the evening it can be a shaming band if I have not gotten a lot of steps that day. I even feel bad if I didn’t wear it. I was working on the trees in my yard with a chain saw so I left it inside. My wife had 17,000 plus steps all I could say is, “I probably would have more”! Another good thing about it is it syncs up with my works wellness website so I get credit for all the running I do. I get to go on the site and see how I am doing against everyone else in the company. There is always one or two people who are superman and woman who must run a marathon every day. Their point totals are off the chart, I made it into the top ten but I am never going to catch those guys. I will just make sure I know who they are and not play my Fitbit game if I am in a meeting with them.
