I don’t know about you, but summer seems to be the season when I find motivation to get into better shape! Perhaps it’s because I can exercise outside in the sunshine. Or maybe it’s because I’m a teacher and when the school year gets hectic, exercise takes the back burner in life.
You may be wondering why I started a post about jewelry by talking about fitness. Well, it’s because I have a new jewelry item in my collection that’s helping with my activity goals: a Fitbit. These things have been on the market for sometime now but if you’ve never heard of one, a Fitbit is a glorified pedometer that tracks your steps and sleep patterns. You can also use the corresponding app to log your water and calorie consumption for the day.
I’ve been wearing a Fitbit for about a month now and I love it! Not only does it keep track of everything for me, but it motivates me to get extra physical activity each day. There have been a few evenings that I’ve done laps around my apartment so that I can achieve my step goal for the day!
The only complaint I have about my Fitbit is that it isn’t very pretty. So here is where we combine jewelry and fitness! I want to share with you a few things that I’ve done to make my Fitbit a little bit more à la mode (and I don’t mean ice cream, see my sidebar if you are confused).
The simplest way to jazz-up your Fitbit is to purchase it in a color that you like. You can also purchase extra wristbands (for less than the cost of the whole Fitbit) so that you can change-up the look.
