Good morning Everyone.
Harley do you ski for pleasurable de-stressing?
I See skipper1 and Harley mention sleeping better, I will too. I have been getting a little more myself. Last week I averaged 6.5 with a couple 7.5's in there. Should be between 7-8 hours. A couple weeks back I was only getting 5 1/2 average and I was feeling too tired.
You might say do you keep a sleep log, well kind of.Â
I got something called a FitBit and it does keep one along with other health monitoring points.
Wear it like a watch around the wrist.
Lets see it tells you how many steps a day you have taken, supposed to be, guess how many? 10K a day Harder to get than you might think.
Measures heart rate, miles you have walked, calories burned, flights of stairs you have climbed, active minutes, sleep, you can add food you eat and it can use it, also water drank because there is a recommended amount of 64 oz a day.
So there is quite a bit of info there.
It has an app on the phone it syncs with and it stores all this info.
So far I have really liked it.
Suppose I want to look back at my activity level yesterday levels while outside hosing and washing off the vehicle. And constant moving about doing things outside since it got to 69 and mild breeze. I was in the cardio zone for 3 hours.
About your sleep, it will tell you how well you slept. Being restless or woke up. Kind of nice to know the quality of sleep you get.
Enough of that but if anyone thinks that sort of thing would be useful I say go for it. I like it.
So that is my seminar/review on the device called Fitbit Charge HR. It can print out monthly totals etc as well.
This week weather is going to be warmer with some needed rain to wash away the road salt then towards the end of week turn winter again. They say. Ha.
Hope it didn't bore you too much reading this Fitbit stuff.
I hope everyone has a stress free and pain free day as possible.
