In order to achieve my new fitness goals, I have a couple of secret weapons. One is a Fitbit One:
This thing is awesome. I can track the number of steps I take in a day, calories burned, and even sleep! It’s so awesome. It’s also so small I may lose it!
Another challenge has been the cold weather – we’ve never seen such a cold winter here. As a result, the temperature in the garage has been in the 20s and 30s. Not great for the BowFlex and Elliptical I’ve been using. I do have a heater in there, and I’ve cordoned off the area, so that can help get it into the 40s sometimes, but in a week like this one, where temperatures are expected to be in the single digits for several days in a row, there’s no hope.
The solution: The Amazon Kindle HDX I got for Christmas fits perfectly on the treadmill in the AccuWeather.com Fitness Center at work. I can now continue to watch “Gold Rush” Season 4, a great show that I’ve been with since Day 1.
