Using ibitz from Best Buy to Stay Healthy and Fit This Summer
The new ibitz™ by GeoPalz® wireless pedometer is a great way to encourage healthy lifestyle choices in your kids {and yourself}.
We were given the opportunity to try out both an adult and kid ibitz. They make tracking steps and choices a breeze. Trevor especially loved his, which I was thrilled about because he tends to prefer hiding in the attic and playing with his LEGO.
The new ibitz Kid and Adult Wireless Pedometers, are physical activity based devices and apps that wirelessly sync to your iOS Bluetooth 4.0® phone or tablet. The kid models have slightly different features and apps than the adult models.
The ibitz Unity for adults tracks steps, distance, weight (added manually), height, overall physical activity, and BMI. If you have friends or family using ibitz devices too, you can hook them up together to form accountability groups.
The ibitz for kids wireless pedometer syncs to a rewards platform. Parents can set goals and rewards such as play time, screen time, or date night {or other reward}.
The ibitz pedometers:
- are available in 7 kid-friendly colors
- use a free iOS app* and sync wirelessly
- can sync via Bluetooth 4.0
- track activity
- set goals and rewards
- are water-resistant
- have a durable clip for either the hip or shoe
- can store 30 days of activity
The pedometers are available at Best Buy, and {depending on how many you plan to buy} are affordable:
- iBitz – Adult Unity Wireless Activity Monitor – Reg retail $49.99
- iBitz – Kids PowerKey Wireless Activity Monitor – Reg retail $34.99
Trevor and I are enjoying them, and I’m watching for sales. I think we’ll pick up another for Brian and one for each of the girls. We could make tracking our fitness into a little family competition.
Do you use a pedometer or another fitness tool?
