Fitness Goal

Many people consider fitness a huge part of their life because it adds to their happiness, or well-being. I believe fitness can be beneficial no matter your age or weight. It is never to late to begin practicing a fit lifestyle. Recently I have conducted some research on the Fitbit. This is usually in the form of a bracelet that is worn every day and tracks your fitness, sleep, and food. Starting price is an average of $100. I was trying to figure out if such a price for a little chip is worth it? As a college student, $100 is a lot of money for me, and I worry that I may not like wearing it every day or might forget about it and not get my money's worth. Although I do believe it is great motivation for someone beginning their fitness lifestyle or for someone who has a goal they are reaching. My conclusion is that I live an active lifestyle already. I get antsy if I sit still for too long. So, I think the fitbit may not be a necessary investment for me. However, it is very interesting how it also tracks your sleep. This might be a deciding factor in the future. Also, I usually run with my cellphone for music purposes but never track my progress, sometimes it might be nice knowing how far I have run and my distance. Similarly, I feel like my phone is so bulky to hold on a long run. These considerations may make me decide on investing in a fitbit in the future, especially if I can convince a friend to be my work buddy and together we can track our progress through the app.
