I was really excited to be asked to review the new Fitbug Air. A cool little gadget, this is way more than your ordinary pedometre. Its the first Bluetooth Smart Bug, letting you send and view your activity on your smartphone or tablet. A cool bit of kit I thought.
I didn’t start using it straight away. It arrived when I was in the middle of something & then put out of the way of the girls & forgotten about (whoops the story of my life). As soon as I sat down to set it up though I instantly knew I would like it. Then I started using it and was quickly addicted to watching the number of steps I took mount up!
I started using it a few weeks before School broke up and was amazed to discover I was doing between 10 – 12000 steps per day. Surely I should be thinner?
Easy to set up and wIth weekly updates and goals, help and advice on calorie intake etc I was keen to keep walking and looking forward to uncovering a new me!
Anyway the Summer holidays started and my usual routine changed. I actually missed walking to and from School each day! I’m not sure why but I started to forget to put it on first thing and a few times dropped it. It seemed to have a good grip on my clothes, it certainly wasn’t loose. Maybe I should have worn it round my neck! A few times my girls pulled it off too and once I even found it out by the car. Each time I found it I was hugely relieved and told myself it wouldn’t happen again …. but then I went and lost it properly 🙁
We have turned the house and garden upside looking for it but it is nowhere to be seen and I am devastated! I will let you know if it turns up but for now I will keep looking and (walking).
