Wearables (FitBit / iWatch): The Best and Worst Ways to Use

Women are more likely than men to use a fitness device like an iWatch or Fitbit but are you aware of the good, bad and ugly if you have a wearable?

Wearables for fitness has sky-rocketed over the past 12 months with 67% of my working women clients now owning a wearable (lead by iWatches and FitBits). When I started online personal training 9 years ago, less than 2% of clients owned a wearable and those that did were mostly runners tracking distance and speed.

And if you’re like many of my working women clients, then chances are you have a wearable but you may not be sure what data actually helps you reach your goals and how to avoid the data-traps created by these devices.

This week on the Podcast we discuss the best way you can use a wearable for fitness and how to avoid the worst mistakes.

You’ll hear:

What are the most common ways working women are using their wearables for fitness and why it’s not always the best;
How to identify if you’re getting the most from your iWatch or Fitbit;
Why you shouldn’t only rely on the data;
