Pros and Cons Of A FitBit: What It’s Users Want You To Know!
Pros and Cons Of A FitBit
I’ll take a small guess that you’ve stumbled on this post because you are wanting to take your weight loss and fitness journey seriously and thought hmmm…
Should I get a Fitbit?
Is it even worth to still get a Fitbit in 2021? I mean, it’s all about the Apple Watch now, isn’t it?
If you’ve noticed that the digits on your scale are steadily increasing (or perhaps it’s broken?) and your health isn’t where you’d like it to be, then a Fitbit is an excellent health and weight loss tool.
You don’t have to buy a lot of fitness gear to get healthy or lose weight but a Fitbit is a must!
And in this post, I will share my views on the pros and as well as some of the cons of using a Fitbit for your health & weight loss journey!
But I won’t just be letting you know about my perspective on the Fitbit.
I’m going to show you how you can specifically find the views of hundreds of Fitbit users so that you can figure out if a Fitbit is right for you.

So you’re trying to start a new workout regimen as a beginner but you don’t know where to start?
It can seem totally overwhelming especially if you’ve never worked out or it’s just been years since you’ve done it.
At the start of my weight loss journey, I remember staring at the treadmill knowing I should get on it or start some sort of workout program but finding it hard to literally put one foot in front of another.
50 pounds later, I can say it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Once you start seeing results I know you’ll feel the same.
Just so you won’t be in suspense, the two workouts that I recommend for weight loss beginners are Leslie Sansone’s Walk At Home DVDs & Turbo Fire From BeachBody.
If you haven’t heard of these programs then just stick around because I’ll explain more later.

How To Challenge Yourself To Workout & Get Stronger Legs At Home
How To Challenge Yourself To Workout & Get Stronger Leg At Home
For me, besides writing, traveling is life.
Well okay, it’s not quite that serious but it’s pretty major. My heart pounds at the mere thought of hopping on a plane that’s bound for a far off land and exploring a new culture and meeting new people.
For me, it’s Jesus, family, writing with traveling following closely behind.
The wanderlust is strong with this one.
However, there are ummm, how do we say, obstacles that get in the way of me traveling as much as I need to (and I do mean need):

When you’re out of shape, that’s a whole lot of steps.Continue reading
