Over the past couple of years, I’ve been using apps on my phone (Strava and MapMyRun) to track my dog walks and other outdoor activities.
I was recently gifted a Fit Bit by my very thoughtful sister and my life has been transformed. Now, not only can I log my walkabouts, I can record and monitor data about my sleep, diet, heart rate, blood oxygen and stress levels.
