Fitness monitoring devices can be great motivators! I have so far had two different pedometers and two polar monitors. However, my newest device is the Fitbit Charge HR. This is by far the best device!Two things about the Fitbit Charge HR that I really love are
- the "continuous" monitoring of my heart rate (no more putting on a heart rate strap while I exercise! )
- the sleep monitoring!
However, I wasn't as thrilled with the FitBit smart phone app--that is until today!
The "exercise" function on the fitbit had frustrated me because it didn't seem to record exercise as accurately or as easily as the Runkeeper App which I had been using. I especially like how Runkeeper maps the route and easily assesses distance and the pace.
So, I had given up on the fit big app recording my exercise and began using Runkeeper again. When I looked at my app today though, my exercise from today which I had recorded through Runkeeper was showing up on my Fitbit app! I then realized it was because linked the My Fitness Pal App to both Fitbit and Runkeeper, Fitbit was receiving the information from Runkeeper through My Fitness Pal!
Hooray for apps that talk to each other!! I can now use the easier My Fitness Pal to record my food intake and the better Runkeeper App to record exercise and all that data will be transferred to my FitBit app where I can look at all the data in one place!
Now, if I can only stick to my exercise and eating plan!!
