More than One Small Step
Forget the pedometer, no one cares how many steps you’ve taken in a day if you can’t find any relevant meaning in your movement combined with the rest of your day. That’s where the Fitbit comes in.
The Fitbit can calculate anything from the miles you’ve traveled and the calories you’ve burned to how long it took you to fall asleep and how many times you woke up in between. For $99 the Fitbit is definitely a calculating time savor, and with the health obsessions sweeping the states I can’t see how Fitbit can lose. I don’t know how I’d feel about wearing the little thing around all the time, but hey, it’s not as ugly as it could be.
Walking Warrior
So, we techies are not known (stereotypically) for our outdoorsiness, health, or our exercise. Badai is hoping to change all that.
Badai has created a new pedometer and calorie counter set to entice the nerdiest among us. Basically the pedometer casts you as a Samurai and the more you walk the closer you get to conquering Japan. I think it’s more interesting than just a number counter for sure. I just don’t know how motivated one will be after they’ve conquered Japan once to reset and do it all over again.
