Fitbit Flex

I wanted to share my thoughts on the Fitbit Flex. I purchased mine on April 1st so I have had it for a little over a month now. I absolutely love it. The flex is the one that you wear on your wrist and you sync it to an app on your phone or you can log into a computer and get the information.  It has so many cool features and it is so motivating to see how many steps you are taking each day, the distance your are moving, how many calories you are burning, and how many active minutes you had. I like to use the previous day as motivation to do more the next day. It reads the steps, distance, calories, active minutes and sleep cycle by wearing it on your wrist. The sleep cycle feature is also so cool. It tells you how many times you are restless each night and for how many minutes and how many times you actually wake up and for how long. I thought this was so cool because I was able to see different factors that affected my sleeping pattern. I noticed that on Monday after I went to my yoga class I slept so much better. You can also see how well you sleep if you do a early workout vs. a late workout or some other factors. It also sends you a weekly email of your averages for each category and you can set your own goals for each one. There are also features that you can enter in yourself. You can enter a weight loss amount goal, how many calories you eat throughout the day, and how much water you are drinking. The one thing that I do not understand is the active minutes. I could do a 30 minute workout and when I am done it would say that I only have 3 or 4 active minutes but I could walk around at work or shopping and it will say 10 active minutes. I have tried to do some research on maybe something that I am doing wrong but I can't seem to figure that part out. If you know something I don't, please fill me in!! I would certainly recommend it to anyone that is looking into buying one! I hope this helps!

Love,
