tanuki (2 KP) rated Fitbit Alta HR Fitness Wristband in Tech
Feb 6, 2019
Stylish and full of features
The Alta manages to be both stylish, light and sleek as well as containing all the desired features of a fitness band and smartwatch in one go. This slimline band fits on the wrist and will track any heart-rate-raising activity - it excels at detection, being able to determine road cycling from mountain biking (but it cannot detect weight lifting, as the heart rate isn't consistently high enough. It will detect a cardio class like Body Pump though.) It will monitor sleep cycles, your active minutes and calories burned. You can set all manner of goals in the app - fitness, diet or sleep goals, for example - and data is displayed in easy-to-read formats. Honestly I wouldn't be without it: it makes controlling your fitness a breeze, which is vital when you have goals to hit and stats to crunch. It will also, as a bonus, hook up to your phone and display the first line of any text or whatsapp messages, and you can set a silent alarm too.

Great Fitness Tracking app
This app provides the data for the Leaf fitness tracker by Bellabeat. It is the only way of having access to the data the tracker monitors throughout the day. The interface is easy to use and very clear to understand. You can customize your goals and alarms and track your progress towards them. Some things (steps takes and hours slept) are automatically recorded when you pair your leaf, but other things (meditation, water, and monthly cycle) need to be manually entered.
I love this app. Other fitness trackers have a display on them, however the Leaf does not. I wasn't necessarily bothered by this because it allows the piece to serve a dual purpose by also being able to be a piece of jewelry to be warn any time. The Leaf also can vibrate to indicate a certain amount of inactivity. If you want to be more active, you can set it to remind you to move around after so many hours of inactivity. I think this is an awesome feature- especially when I'm lost in a binge watching session of Scandal on Netflix!
You can also set alarms through the app so the Leaf vibrates which is a helpful feature if you need help remembering to take medication at a certain time or to drink more water throughout the day.

Variety of levels
Variety of work out focus
This is perfect to start your day! I get up and through on of these on right away. It's only 7 minutes so I don't feel like I'm doing an intense workout, but more of a warm up to my day. You can chooses different ability levels and focus your fitness of core, thighs, glutes etc. This is perfect if you have just a spare 10 minutes. Love it!

I LOVE my Leaf by Bellabeat. I wear it everyday- mostly as a bracelet but I have worn it as a necklace or clipped to my clothing. I love the sleek design. So many people notice and compliment it.
Like most fitness trackers, the Leaf monitors your steps, and sleeping patterns. You can use the app to track your water intake, meditation, and also monthly cycle. The app uses the information you input and creates a "stress readout" depending on what you have going on in which areas. I love that I can easily track these things and look back on past weeks to determine any patterns.
Unlike other fitness trackers, there is no screen on the Leaf. I know this bothers some people, but I am not using the Leaf as a Smart Watch. I like that I can check it on my phone and I'm not constantly updating things on my wrist all day. I check it once or twice a day and for the most part, I forget about it. It is not distracting to me in any way.

So simple to play (1 more)
Fun simple graphics
A classic game for all ages!
A classic game that came with the Nintendo Wii console. You can play Baseball, Boxing, Bowling, Golf and Tennis. You can play between 2-4 players. There are also various training modes and a fitness multi-game challenge. It's so simple to play whether you are a kid or an Oap, everyone enjoys it. I still play it around my mums when I visit. The fact it uses your Mii characters you create as well makes it more fun.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2067 KP) rated Cream Puff Murder (Hannah Swensen, #11) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Hannah needs to lose weight, so she has joined Heavenly Bodies, the new gym at the mall. But one morning, she finds universally hated fitness instructor Ronnie Ward floating face down in the spa. It really is cruel to talk about losing weight in the middle of all the delicious recipes in the book. Not the strongest plot in the series, but fans will love spending time with their favorite characters.
