Fitbit Charge HR | Review

I've had my Fitbit Charge HR for over 6 months and it's a gadget that I won't workout without.

I got this from Argos at a price of £99.99, they come in 3 different sizes (Small, Medium & Large) and a few different colours (black, purple and red). I got size small as my wrists are tiny!

You wear it just like a watch and it has an an adjustable strap.

I was a bit sceptical about buying this at first as it was a lot of money and I wasn't entirely sure what it could do. 

The Fitbit monitors how many steps you take, how many calories you have burned, your heart rate, how far you've walked, and how many flights of steps you have climbed. Now I thought that was pretty impressive but it does more!!!

It tracks your exercise too. for example the picture shows you the exercise I completed, tells you how many calories and what percentage of fat you have burnt.

For me, this is also a good motivator to get off my arse and do more, as I work in an office and i am sat down for 8 hours a day, it's a good incentive when you've seen you've only done 2000 steps to try and go for a walk at lunch or when going to loo trying to walk the long way round to it. You can change your daily step goal so mine is set to 10,000 but you can make it higher or lower.

This amazing gizmo also tracks your sleep. It tracks how long you slept for, if you was restless, how long you was restless/awake for and is really good for people who have trouble sleeping and maybe want to see how much they are actually getting a night.

I could literally talk about this for ages , but I think I've waffled on long enough!

If you are looking for a good tracking band for exercise and/or sleep I highly recommend the Fitbit Charge HR, it's pricey but you defiantly get what you pay for.

what's your favourite tracking bands or do you use something else? Let me know in the comments :)

My favourite exercise class

Since February 2016 I have been going to one of the most fun exercise classes ever. the class is called Boogie Bounce Extreme.

Boogie Bounce is a complete exercise programme on a mini trampoline with a safety bar, choreographed to chart topping music which includes an EXTREMELY effective cardio section. It is by far the hardest yet most enjoyable classes I have ever been too.

Since doing this class for 6 months now, I have noticed a huge difference in my fitness levels. My cardio endurance has strengthened, my cellulite has DRAMATICALLY reduced if not disappeared and my bum muscles have strengthened, as well as loosing weight and toning my body.

Boogie Bounce is a chain and I highly recommend looking on their website linked here and seeing if there are any classes near you if you are looking at getting fit but find the gym boring.

I go to my classes at a place called fit2flirt  in Gravesend (UK) which is run by the amazing Lisa. I do other classes here too such as Weighted Hula, Anti-gravity Yoga and Clubbercize. If anyone lives near by and is looking for some fun classes, but like I was scared to go to classes with people you don't know, I can't recommend fit2flirt enough. Lisa makes you feel so welcome and comfortable and it's such a lovely atmosphere and no one is there to judge only to support and it's like a little fit2flirt family that you instantly feel apart of as soon as you join.

Below is a little video I put together from one of my sessions at Boogie Bounce. I have to say, after watching the video back, it looks quite easy, but trust me when I say it pushes you to your limits!

What's your favourite type of exercise to do? are you the type of person who loves going to the gym or do you do other classes. Do let me know in the comments :)
