I use a fitbit tracker\u00a0and the fitbit app daily.\u00a0 The only effort I put into using the app is simply placing the device on my wrist.\u00a0 Since I do not use all of the features it offers, I do not enter much information in.\u00a0 When signing up, I had to do the basics of adding my email address to create an account. I now get emails notifying me when I receive a friend request or when my fitbit battery is low. I simply use the fitbit to count steps and meet my goal of 10,000 steps each day.\u00a0 Despite all the features it provides such as the exercise tracker, weight loss tracker, and calorie counter, I do not use any of them. Therefore, it does not require me to enter any information.\u00a0 I do find it pretty awesome that it can track my sleeping patters every night. All I have to do is tap my fitbit 5 consecutive times and it then knows to start tracking my sleep. Watching my sleep pattern does not change the way I sleep, I just find it pretty cool.<\/p>\n
I do believe the fitbit can potentially change my health because it pushes me to be more active in order to reach my goal.\u00a0 I actually find myself not caring about how much walking I do when I forget my fitbit at home, but find myself taking the longer routes on campus when I do wear my fitbit. I do not post results on social media simply because I do not feel the need to.\u00a0 I do, however, have a few friends added on the app, in which we compete with each other daily.\u00a0 The app ranks my friends and I by who has the most steps throughout the week.\u00a0 Personally, I enjoy the tracking from the fitbit.\u00a0 Overall, it makes me happy and more productive because it helps me push myself to reach my goal of 10,000 steps.\u00a0 I think the competitive aspect competing with friends helps me try even harder to make my goal.\u00a0 I do not have any feeling towards others posting on their quantified self, perhaps they do it to make them feel better about themselves, so more power to them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
