My Review of the Fitbit Flex

Posted on the 23 January 2014 by Lifeofasportswife @jessaolson
I have had several people ask me about my fitbit flex. So I thought I would share my experience with it.  By the way Gary purchased the Fitbit as a Christmas present that I got way early. I did my research between the a couple different devices that are similar and decided the Fitbit was the best decision.  I really wanted a fitness tracker because I have gained a lot of weight since been married, and we are wanting to get back in shape. I planned on using it to track how many steps I took, the amount of sleep that I have been getting, etc. The fitbit company has a fidbit one that is like traditional pedometer but I thought I would lose that one too easy.  Pros:  Tracks the steps that you take in the day. You can set it to whatever goals that you want to accomplish. At first I had it at around 5000 steps in a day. I was hitting that goal pretty easily for about a two weeks, and increased it to 7500 steps. I love the silent alarm. The wristband vibrates to wake you up. I love it because it doesn't wake up the husband who gets to sleep in later than I do.  It goes great with every outfit. It doesn't look like a fitness tracker.  It connects with all my other fitness apps: My Fitness Pal and Gym Pact. 
Cons: It says that I can wear while showering, but I haven't tried it. I'm actually do afraid too.  It takes about a day to charge. (Plus side it's last about a week before needing charged) Not the easiest to add people. Right now it's only available to facebook and google+. (if you know how to add people other than that let me know.) What I have noticed: It's hard to get the recommend 10,000 steps a day.  How restless I am when I sleep. When I tracked my first few nights it said that I was restless 24 times in one night, and that I got up 5 times.
