Your phone should have a health app which you can use to track your steps and other things but you have to keep your phone with you.

Yeah, I use my phone to track my steps. It's an iphone SE (circa 2022, I think) and it has some app in it already. I won't be getting anything else added to my phone.

I started keeping my phone with me after my neighbor had a heart attack, just in case she called and needed help. Her heart attack is what inspired hubby and me to start working out every day. (She's still with us! Yay!)

What Kiki has, the thing that tracks her heart rate, is interesting. But I'm not getting another gadget, and definitely not something I have to wear. I don't like "stuff" on me. No rings, no watches (who wears a watch anymore?).

I don't have a fitbit, probably won't get one, but just going to jump in here anyway.

If you've started a regimen, keep at it! How did I get to 408 consecutive days on the elliptical?

One day at a time.

I've been using this exact type machine. I call it an elliptical but it's not the "normal" kind. I love it.

My Inspire 2 died. It lasted me many years. I'm still wearing it because I feel weird without it.

Do you want mine? I can't even remember which one it is. Hold. Let me find it.

Nice machine, Kiki!

Way back when, the company hubby and I worked for started an exercise program. They had an elliptical and a treadmill in a room with a TV. For anyone who worked out 20 minutes, 3 times a week for an entire quarter, they got a $200 bonus. (You didn't have to worry about when you were on vacation.) Hubby and I were the only people who got every single bonus before they decided they needed the room for other purposes. I think we got about $5000 out of it.

When they decided to end the program the owner asked us if we wanted the elliptical and treadmill. For free. He said since we were the ones who used it the most, we deserved it.

If the elliptical dies, we will see if the treadmill still works. If it doesn't, we will buy a new elliptical.

The benefits to our working out have been beyond what we expected. My cholesterol numbers have improved, I lost the 12 pounds around my waist that showed up after menopause (where you don't want to carry it), and our stamina is better. Not bad for a couple of 60+ year olds.

Kiki badgered me into getting a Fitbit. When it dies I will not replace it.

I find the sleep recording interesting.

It's an Inspire 2. The Inspires were on sale cheap this past Christmas shopping season.

 

[Kiki]

Found it. Let me charge it and see if it works.

Ha! You will get a Pixel Watch nutter!
