First post today using the iPhone application and a vote for
witness!
After a rather cutting comment on my recent utopian-io post, I have decided to fight fire with footsteps today and after locating and charging my aging (but still in pristine condition) Fit-bit Flex, and then installing both the app for the Flex, and the application, I set off on my feet to see if I could out-step the Lego guy from Oz - known as
.
As you may know from previous content, I much prefer riding my bicycle as a form of exercise but today, the bike stayed locked away in the shed. In the past I'd jog or run most days, either outside, on a treadmill, or during a game of football., but sadly, has taken it's toll on my lower limbs and I now sport some of the most over-pronated feet you are ever likely to not see.
I've worn arch supports in anything other than trainers with a high arch insole for probably 20 years now, and although walking is OK, the additional impact stress while running means that my ankles and lower calf's get tight and start burning like mo-fo's when over-worked.
Alright, that's my excuses out of the way. Not that I needed any, right Michael? :D
Sadly, have suspended their witness in the last day or so, and so I have taken this opportunity to give a long overdue vote to
, of whom I believe have potential to mass on-board users via the huge wearable fitness tracker market.
I would love to see something like Strava (https://www.strava.com/) appear on Steem (perhaps have plans already), where you can record your run or cycle, and compete against other users along known tracks and routes. When I spent a year cycling to work in Valencia, this app made the 13km, 7am ride far more bearable as I could monitor my progress, and check if any of my split times has made it on the leader-board for the day.
Alright, hopefully the post has arrived on the chain, and I can insert this text in quickly before anyone sees that I could not be arsed typing much on the phone :)
Cheers!
