All Change

What a difference a week makes! I have worn mywellness key for 7 days and it has registered the fact the I have been achieving 500 moves and more quite easily. This clever little stick has taken into account my daily move result as well as additional exercise sessions I have manually entered via the pc and come up with a move target of 1275. I was surprised how much it had risen from the initial 500 and am now interested to see how difficult it will be for me to achieve this on a daily basis. From now on the target will change every 24 hours so will vary depending on my activity levels. I know that some days this may prove a little tricky as at the moment a lot of my work is sedentary and I find myself sitting in front of the computer for several hours just like thousands of other people whose work doesn't allow them to move around. I'll let you know how I get on...

My First Week

                 

7 days after first plugging in my new mywellness key and reading the Technogym manual I’m pleasantly surprised to say it’s been plain sailing. The key initially set me a goal of 500 moves per day and I have been managing to achieve that without too much effort – it’s obviously much easier on the days that I exercise as I was clocking up over 700 moves on a short run.

Being a results driven type of person 2 things about the key appeal to me:

1 – the fact that the visual display shows me exactly how much I’ve done and how much more I need to do to reach my target

2 -  the software package allows me to track my progress and see how much activity I have been doing on an ongoing basis.

At first I had to keep reminding myself to wear my key but after a few days it became habit and I put it on immediately after getting up so I don’t miss a step! I have also used the pc package to manually enter running and swimming sessions that I had done without the key. This was easy to do and quite pleasing to see my activity building up on the display.

I have to admit that the mywellness key is definitely making me more aware of my activity levels and motivating me to do more. As my activity level increases the key adjusts my daily goal - I'm sure that next week the target number of moves will increase and that I'm going to have some hard work to do...
