Why should you?? Peter.Just curious if anyone here counts their steps, measures their heartrate, take O2 readings of their blood, etc. with a "fitness tracking device" or even with just a simple pedometer?
I used to wear a Fitbit religiously, taking it off only to charge it, until it stopped charging after just over a year of ownership. Loved tracking my workouts, but always wished for more information.
Now there are newer models that do all sorts of things, and the upcoming Apple Watch looks to have amazing potential for tracking fitness in ways that are not yet even considered.
Anyone?
It is behavior therapy that works!Why should you?? Peter.
Nops! Why? SY
Really there is no need for it other than to provide you with information/feedback about your walking, exercise, activity levels, etc.Why should you?? Peter.

I have a Withings wireless scale and a wireless blood pressure monitor. The products are reliable.Withings
My husband wore his Garmin GPS watch. I was a little 'disapproving' (judgemental!) of this idea. However, when we got home it was nice to look back over each day and see where we had walked.
Ours is now 6 years old but this seems to be the nearest of the same make (Omron) and priceTia Valeria, which pedometer is that, please?
Something you won't find on the Camino!! Even the barefoot pilgrims I saw had backpacks.a true minimalist
Well - my kids (and grandkids) just got me a Fitbit Charge for my birthday - did I need it? I don't think so - but I'll take it, wear it, and likely even learn to use it. Might be fun to see how many steps equal a Camino day.

Two (actually, strictly three) things have made me walk more: a fitbit Flex and a pair of Pacer poles. It's the encouragement, the quantifiable info and the something 'other' measuring and acknowledging your efforts, ie other than yourself and other than other people. Works for me, and as @clearskies mentioned, there is a thread for those who want or need a/more fitbit friend(s)!
Does the app still work then? Broken JawboneI take my JawBone. What I really use it for is as an alarm clock since it vibrates rather than rings and will not wake others up. I now know that I walk between 30 000 and 40 000 steps on a day on the Camino. Had initially bought it to monitor my sleep. When at home I like that it reminds me to walk or drink water every 30, 45 minutes, whatever I programme.
