  21. Map My Fitness • Benefits? • Easy user interface • Fun to look at your routes • Social component • Detriments? • GPS feature is sketchy (in center city) • Only records “workouts” • Doesn’t record routine activity, (i.e. walking around the office, etc.) which can be significant • Huge battery drain

  22. Fit Bit • Basically a pedometer on steroids

  23. Fit Bit

  24. Fit Bit Lunchtime walk around Rittenhouse park • Shows step activity in 5 minute increments Walk to meeting after work Walk to the bank

  25. Fit Bit • Monitor sleep activity

  28. Fit Bit • Benefits? • Tracks steps all day from all of your activities • Can even track sleep patterns • Very useful website • Social component • Links with Lose It! (but I haven’t gotten it to work) • Detriments? • Easy to lose

  29. Conclusion • All of these programs have a defined purpose • If I can find a way to link Lose it! with Fit Bit it will be a lot easier • I love competition, so the social component is big for me • - I have a weight bet on Lose it! (to lose 40 pounds by September 1st) for an iPad2 • - I have a “stepping” bet during May (to get an average of 16000 steps per day – loser buys drinks
