So much more than a pedometer. This little gadget clips to your pocket and tracks – steps taken, calories burned, stairs climbed, and monitors how well and how long you sleep —- it will even vibrate to wake you up in the morning.
I have had one of these for about a week, and it has already had an impact on my life. I can really tell how much sleep I am getting and how many time I wake up at night. I have trouble sleeping and now I know I seldom get more the 6 hours a night. I hope to change that. I have also found that some days I walk over 10,000 steps, and other days just over 5,000.
NOW please realize I do not feel like I paid for this device. Why – I used my Staples Rewards to make this purchase. No cash out of my pocket. Some of you Frugal Factor readers are saying – you could have turned to rewards into cash. That’s true, but once in a while you need to try a new toy! I will keep it, IF it keeps me motivated to keep moving, if not it will find itself on ebay!
