Exercise - Day 4

Bakkie still fully loaded, it is shameful i know but the weekend deadline is fast approaching and all will be right in the world of the Baggy Cantona by Monday morning.

However, yesterday this arrived:

In the time honored profession of procrastination i always feel throwing a gadget at the problem helps alleviate the shame,

This is what is known as a 'health watch', it has a built in heart rate monitor, connects to my smart phone with Bluetooth which in turn relays all the data into an app.

The watch is a watch too, it has 6 different read outs; time/date, heart rate, calories burned, steps taken, distance covered, stairs climbed.

It can be activated by pressing the button on the side or by some demonic black magic witchcraft of double tapping the screen.

It is splash proof but not water proof, the strap is hypoallergenic, comfortable but only just fits me the strap is on the last hole, it's on my left wrist which is my non dominant hand and i will wear it from the moment i get out of bed in the morning until i return to my horizontal heaven on earth in the evening.

I will go into the data and app in more detail in the future but for now all i will say is the fact i can see how many calories i am burning is such a boost for me, for now i do not have to fret about estimated facts and figures, obsess about my intake of calories versus calories burned as according to the data i am burning way more calories than i am consuming, but more on that later on, the data i have access to is so exciting i can't wait to blog about it!

So as it stands,

Exercise completed yesterday:

None in the physical sense of intense cardiovascular activity but biologically i took in 1641 calories and by spending most of the day sitting down i burned 4039 calories of which 1585 were activity based mainly by climbing 14 floors and taking 6787 steps, spread out throughout the day, i'm no hero...

...yet.
