Image Source: I asked my daughter to draw me a picture for my fitness post. Yes, I was too tired to find an image or make one myself, so I outsourced the effort. The theme being Mum exercising. She quickly drew a bunch for me, but this was my favorite. Anyway, she’s already asking when I need another one. Hehe :)
Back to the post...
Today, I downloaded the early test version of . Yay! So thank you
and team for getting the iOS version to us iPhone users.
My initial impressions are very positive. It has a clean interface so I didn’t get confused. It also didn’t feel intrusive as far as privacy. It used the motion sensor on my phone and the steps started accumulating immediately. I didn’t need to do much to get started, it just worked.
The activity tracking was pretty accurate too. I tracked my work travels, and when I got home, I grabbed a head lamp and went for a light jog. I also tried it on the elliptical machine and was pleased that it worked really well!
It has me motivated. I was determined to use every opportunity to move today. Here are some examples:
I was sitting at the station reading Steemit when it occurred to me that I could be accumulating steps! So I got up and started pacing up and down the platform. And since I was at a few stations today, there was a lot of pacing...
I deliberately took the stairs rather than taking a lift today...
I even went to grab my own drink rather than ask my husband to grab it for me. No surprise he’s already liking how much more productive this app is making me...🤣🤣🤣
I’m thinking the 15k mark is the sticking point for me when considering a combination of incidental and planned exercise. As a working professional/mother/wife/lazy human, I’m exhausted today. But actifit added at least 1 hour more of physical activity that I would have otherwise made excuses not to do.
Thanks to for introducing this app to me.
— thumbs up so far, you may need that phone replacement sooner!
I’m going to post now. I hope it’s just as easy to do!
