Fitbit

Tracking your life just because easier again, thanks to Fitbit. But this time they’re only giving the athletes something they need – The Ionic – but every kind of person, regardless of their age, size, shape, and all the rest of it. And it’s nice. They’re giving people of every age, shape, size and goal an excuse to get outside, get moving and be fit for life with their new Fitbit Versa Lite – the slightly stripped back version of the Fitbit Versa, which came out in 2018 – Fitbit Inspire, for wearers in need of something less bulky, and the Fitbit Ace 2, which is for kids, ages six and up. It’s pretty safe to safe, Fitbit now covers every corner of the market, and for a product as reliable as theirs that does the job as well as it does, it’s not surprising why. Here’s what makes the three new additions worth a go: Fitbit Versa Lite This one is the most expensive of the three new watches, but does the best and offers wearers something a little more from a watch that’s been stripped back. The Versa Lite is an everyday smartwatch with most of the core fitness features you need. It obviously tracks your movements and calories burnt, but comes with other bits like automatic activity, PurePulse 24/7 heart rate and Sleep Stages tracking, 15+ goal-based exercise modes, connected GPS, smartphone notifications and a 4+ day battery life, depending on your use, obviously. Get it for $249.95. Fitbit Inspire HR This little beauty… Read More

It’s kind of the daywear version of the elite Fitbit Ionic, but using it the right way to help you on your way can always use a tip or two. So, we spoke to Fitbit ambassador Drew Harrisberg who’s all about fitness, the beach and doing the whole ‘keeping fit’ thing and here’s what he had to say. View this post on Instagram Self-inflicted agony aka stair sprints! Sprinting is one of the best ways to break through fat-loss plateaus. It increases the number and function of mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) which is the site where fuel is burned. It also increases rates of fat metabolism for 24-48 hours after the workout is over. It’s called Excess Post Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) or ‘The Afterburn’. Basically, the anaerobic metabolites that accumulate during HIIT get metabolized aerobically in the hours and days following the workout. So, if you’re trying to improve your body composition i.e reduce body fat and increase muscle mass, you should really incorporate sprints into your training program.
