A cool fitness gadget

Published in technologytechtc50fitnessfitbit by gzone |

 

The FitBit Tracker was unveiled yesterday on TechCrunch during the TC50 2008 Conference event.

The device itself is a 3D wireless wearable sensor that acts as a diet monitoring system. Its purpose is to track the wearer's food intake and activity levels based on daily activity.

The sensor is tiny, clips on virtually any piece of clothing, collects and records information, and transmits the data anytime the wearer passes by the wireless base station.

The readings are then uploaded to the fitbit website where all the data is processed, allowing the user to view detailed information regarding fitness activity levels and sleeping patterns. The website also allows the user to add various data about different foods eaten.

I don't know about you, but I am all about fitness, so I am definately getting me one of these. The kit is priced at only $99, and is available for preorder today. The FitBit Tracker will go on sale sometime in December or January...just in time for the holiday good eats!

How do you spend your work lunch break?

I have a gym membership at LA Fitness and normally make it there right around 7pm 3 to 5 times a week. They recently opened a new location in Altamonte Springs, FL, which is 2.5 miles away from my office. I decided switch it up and put my lunch break to better use. I am now 3 weeks into it, and I am loving it.

I get to work 30 minutes earlier and leave 30 minutes later in order to make up for my longer lunch break and get a good workout...and it works. The workout is quick, intense, and effective since the gym is nearly empty.

Getting home from work has been great lately (7pm instead of 9pm or later) mainly because I save so much time from not being at the gym after work during peak hours. This gives me more time at home to do my perosnal management, cook dinner, relax, and make it to bed at a decent hour...Try it!
