This morning, I was looking through the pre-installed apps on my phone to see if there was anything that I could use to link a FitBit (or something like it) to because I was thinking about getting one to track my daily walks.
Low and behold, there's one called "S Health"......
So, I launched it - never have even THOUGHT to before today - and it turns out that I can measure my steps, Oxygen level, Stress level, Pulse, and TONS of other things with a little sensor that's built into the phone!!!! There's also a calorie counter with a VERY extensive database. I can also track my glucose levels and blood pressure, so I can get rid of those other apps that I was using!
Needless to say, I was excited to see how it works, so I packed up Merle and we headed to the track. Put my earbuds in, cranked up my music, and off we went. NINE laps were 2.01 miles and 98% of my steps were "brisk" enough to be considered beneficial!! My original goal was 6000 steps/day, but I did 4258 during our walk alone!
I think that, starting tomorrow, we'll be going to the track at 6 AM and then again at 6 PM.
Take THAT, high blood pressure and diabetes!
