Happy Friday, !

✅A: Not to be all wishy-washy here, but it depends!

(I believe they can be SUPER USEFUL … and am going to tell you why in a sec.)

💡A study done a couple of years ago found that wearing an activity tracker didn’t lead to much in the way of immediately measurable health outcomes.

👉Basically, people who used them didn’t notice their blood pressure or cholesterol levels go down.

But the study found those people were motivated to exercise MORE ... which can obviously have healthy payoffs over time!

❤️ Here’s one reason I like activity trackers: They can be a good way to get a feel for how hard you’re working during a workout.

🔥That’s info that can help you either pick up the pace or slow down, so you’re working within your ideal and safest “zones” on any given day.

😅They also can encourage you to be more active because you can immediately see your total activity for the day.

💡Depending on what kind of tracker you have, this can show up as steps per day, “strain” per day, activity minutes, etc.

(NOTE: if you’re on a medication that slows your heart rate, like some blood pressure drugs, the heart rate readings on your tracker might not be so meaningful for you. Ask your doc or pharmacist for guidance there!)

❓Do you use a tracker! Which one, and what do you like about it?
