Activity tracker

I bought a little while ago to myself Garmin vivofit activity tracker and heart rate monitor. I have been using the tracker couple weeks now, day and night. I've also tried the heart rate monitor but since I haven't been actively training it's been waiting on my desk for my next run.

I have sort of mixed feelings about the tracker. I don't trust the step count very much because you can fool it by shaking you're hand. The activity bar isn't that trustworthy either. Yesterday I was in yoga for 1.5 hours and the activity bar came visible. Yes, I can admit that yoga isn't that active sport but I wasn't sitting still either. So, that was a bit disappointing. But at the same time the activity bar have challenged me to get up from my chair, especially at work. The activity bar comes on after one hour of being inactive and increases after every 15 minutes. In that way it is good because it reminds me not to sit too long.

The synchronizing of the tracker with computer proved to be really easy. I've done it once but I'm really waiting to see the sleeping information from a longer time period. I know I sleep way too little ad probably my sleep isn't that deep and relaxing either. Maybe I can find some ways to improve my sleep with the help of this tracker.

I haven't taken part to any challenges yet, but I think I might consider those after Christmas.

The caloric tracker doesn't interest me at all since it doesn't count automatically also the calories I take. ;) I'm really not interested of counting every bite I take.

Anyway, small steps.. I guess, anything that takes me towards healthier life is good..
