so how exactly did I go from this to this losing over 30 pounds in six months well my activity tracker was a big help now it's not a panacea it's not going to suddenly make losing all that weight in six months easy because it was a bugger but for the right person it can be a valuable tool so I gotta be honest with you guys and tell you that I've actually gained a little bit of weight since I was out my lowest I went from 231 to 199 of my lowest and now about 206 207 although goes up and down to pounds or so each week but the activity tracker I have the garmin vivoactive HR was a big help now this thing is a beast a year ago it was sort of that near the top of the line and it does a little bit of everything and I got this one because it was waterproof I wanted to go swimming so means one of those activities that I like doing and it's not boring but I actually never went swimming with it I hiked and walked a lot I went also on my stationary bike I have like a bike that's a desk right so I can put my laptop on it and work or watch Game of Thrones and an hour of cycling goes by much much faster it really breaks up the monotony I also did lots of compound exercises squat dips pull-up squat thrusts all that kind of stuff that was really hard to keep going I also go kayaking I do kayak fishing I'm also getting a hunting dog a new puppy and I expect that that is going to help motivate me to get out and get active because otherwise that puppy's going to drive us crazy it's a very very active dog so I'm hoping that helps me because motivation is a big big factor and this helped me stay motivated because you would work hard each day and even for a week maybe and not see any results that's just the reality but this here would give me some numbers let me track how many calories are burned that day what did I accomplish that day what was my heart rate at what my distance is all that kind of stuff it's fairly accurate and it you know transferred that data to your phone or you turn up top and you can sort of attract it and gamify it gives you an emotional payoff knowing that hey you know I accomplished this today I may not see it on the scale but in ten days two weeks you will see that payoff in that respect it helps it doesn't make it any easier that's the reality okay and I probably could have got something a lot cheaper and had the same effect so let's talk about what some options out there for activity trackers for you really the best fitness tracker you can buy right now is the garmin vivosmart HR plus it's one of the most featured packed well rounded wearables you can find for starters it has a big screen display that's easy to read outdoors and thanks to the large screen that means you'll be able to view more information on the tracker itself without having to pick through your phone to open the garment app it's also waterproof rated up to 50 meters which is a feature many trackers don't offer so how does it differ from our previous fitness tracking champion the vivosmart HR well for starters it comes with built-in GPS while remaining just about the same size as its predecessor the addition of a GPS brings home new running features like personal records visual pacing auto pause auto lap and walk run mode it's also tracking your activity and workouts automatically with Garmin's powerful move IQ technology something that vivos smart HR does not offer now the vivosmart HR has been around for a few months but it just recently dropped 50 bucks in price that brings the grand total to around 150 dollars which is an absolute steal for what you're getting with built-in GPS greater water resistance rating automatic activity recognition and the company's wonderful Auto gol feature the Revo smart HR plus is by far the best fitness tracker available in this price range the next stop on our list is the Fitbit charge - it's clear Fitbit really focused on design when making the charge to this device not only looks more like a piece of jewelry and less like a standard fitness tracker this time round which will also have the option to change out the bands that you'd like the charge to also has a bigger display this time meaning you'll get more room for smart phone notifications Plus Fitbit also introduced a few new features to the charge - that should help users stay healthy and relaxed overtime cardio fitness level which will give you a cardiovascular rating based on an estimate of your vo2 Max and relax a new on device guided breathing feature that will walk you through a short breathing exercise to help you lower blood pressure reduce stress and lessen anxiety now this could be a great option for you because it is also around $150 price range but another factor that I liked when I had a Fitbit is the Fitbit community now both devices have a community surrounding them but a lot of my friends are on a Fitbit and they love to compete and and tease and encourage each other within the Fitbit community so you really want to take that into account the next up is the Fitbit Alta HR 2016 Fitbit Alta has been one of our favorite fitness trackers since launch mainly due to the sleek stylish design that many other fit big devices lacked but what if you're looking for a device similar to the Alta but can't go without a heart rate sensor well you want to check out the Fitbit Alta HR the company's slimmest activity tracker with a heart rate monitor the new Alta HR brings the company's own pulse heart rate technology to a slimmer form factor fit that supposedly developed a new clip for the Alta HR that reduced the size and number of components needed allowing for 25% slimmer design than the charge - with a built-in heart rate sensor you'll be able to better track your calories burned non-death exercises like yoga and spinning and also see real-time heart rate zones on your wrist having a heart rate sensor on your activity tracker really does make a world of difference alongside the Alta HR Fitbit also introduced two new sleeping features sleep stages and sleep insights sleep stages utilizes the heart rate sensor to estimate the amount of time you'll spend in light deep and REM sleep as well as the time you spend awake each night sleep insights on the other hand uses all the data in your Fitbit collects to provide personalized guidance on how better to improve your sleep if you're interested in learning more about sleep stages read the article now let's talk about what is arguably the best multi-sport activity tracker and that's this one right here the garmin vivoactive HR for starters it will track your daily activity whether you're running cycling swimming or walking all thanks to the built-in GPS of course it also has an optical heart rate monitor that will help you keep tabs on your resting and active heart rate so I can speak a little bit more about this device because I've owned it and worn it for over a year now and used it pretty much everyday it's very good I don't know what more I could want from a device this does pretty much everything and it does it reasonably well some complaints that I would have about it is that it's just too much for what I actually needed it I bought it because it was a multi-sport device right it would track swimming running hiking cycling stationary and road cycling the whole bit but in reality I really just used it for walking and hiking now when I was on my stationary bike it does track your heart rate and has a dedicated mode for stationary bikes but I am suspicious that it was accurately tracking my heart rate it doesn't have a chest rate monitor it has the optical heart rate monitor but I am not completely confident that it accurately tracked that so oftentimes I would just manually input my my distance and time but I was on the stationary cycle in my lucid app lucid app was the app that I was often using and this didn't directly sync with the lucid app it linked with the Nike app or my fitness app and that app would then link or sync with the lucid app so that was another drawback to it but it's very good I just think I could have spent less like this was a lot more this is like 360 Canadian when I bought it a year ago it's like 150 180 now so very good but overkill for everyone but the most dedicated at leat so take that for what it's worth meet Jeremy shoemaker otherwise known as shoe money and he became famous for this photo where he showed off a cheque that he made from Google Adsense and he's become so good at making online businesses that he made an announcement that he does not start a new business unless he can secure the businesses name in a.com now why is that exactly well no domain name extension tells your story with the same degree of trust as a dot-com or dotnet domain name.com and dotnet domain name extensions and jet credibility and your online presence and who doesn't want to be credible and don't forget you get 15% off when you use our coupon code Android when you think domain names think domain.com you
