I think it is safe to say I am completely obsessed with FitBit challenges. I think they are the best thing that has ever happened. I’ve only had my FitBit since March but I am definitely addicted.
Ever since I have had a FitBit, I challenge everyone in step competitions. From my family back home to my friends and even my boss. It can get pretty intense too. I know I definitely take the challenges a little too seriously at times but I like it.
When I am in a challenge, I do whatever it takes to win. I already go to the gym during the week but now when I am there I make sure I run a little longer in order to make sure my steps are high to ensure that no one beats me.
I have only lost three challenges since I have had my FitBit. I am not going to lie, I was pretty upset those few times but it only motivated me to step it up and beat everyone. Now I vow to myself that I will do everything and anything to make sure I win all of my future FitBit challenges.
I think the idea behind FitBit and the challenges are great. During the day I really like to check my steps and see how much I have moved in a set amount of time. When I see the amount of my steps, it makes me feel great because I like living an active lifestyle. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with a little healthy competition. I also think that when people are engaged in a challenge it motivates them to get up and get active.
For example, I would get text messages from some of my friends asking me if I would want to go on a walk with them just so they could get their steps in. Another example would be my friends and I running around the communications department in an attempt to beat each other during a challenge. I have persuaded many of my friends to get FitBits now because all I do is talk about the challenges I participate in .
My advice to anyone who does not own a FitBit is to go out and get one. It really is such a good investment. Personally, I think it keeps people motivated when it comes to getting up and getting active. I have not been disappointed since I have had mine and I am sure thousands of others would say the same thing.
