Getting used to MWK

I’ve now been using mywellness key for a few weeks now and am quite used to wearing it on a daily basis. I don’t even think about putting it on first thing in the morning – I’ve found the best way to remember it is to leave it in my dressing gown pocket overnight and then it’s recording moves from the minute I leap (!) out of bed. It’s been quite interesting making a note of what activities clock up the greatest number of moves. This morning I didn’t have much time to exercise and set up a simple circuit at home which consisted of step ups, lunges, squats, skipping, shoulder press (got to start thinking about those arms as it won’t be long before we’ll be wearing vest tops – hopefully!) and some abdominal work. Before using the key I could only guess at how hard I was working based on how much I sweated and how out of breath I was but now I can use the key to monitor how many moves I accumulate. Today a workout that cost me nothing and which I didn’t have to leave home for notched up over 500 moves – all done by 10am – not a bad start to the day...
