I must say this week has been a pretty awesome week as it pertains to the exercise portion of my fitness regimen. My new trusty sidekick has really upped the ante on making exercise a priority everyday. I have fallen in love with Fitbit Zip, which can be found amongst other awesome products in the Health and Fitness section at Best Buy.
Every Step Counts
I purchased the Fitbit – Zip Wireless Activity Tracker (2-Pack), which makes it easy to share my stats with the hubby so we can track our fitness levels together and keep each other motivated. With any of the Fitbit products its most basic feature is simply counting your steps and recording your progress. I have made it my goal to take at least 10,000 steps a day and while the FitBit Zip is an awesome tool for tracking that number and competing with my hubby to achieve this goal is great, I still needed a little more motivation. Sometimes motivation can come in the form of a good beat, that’s why most people exercise with up tempo music.Studies have shown that music can increase the intensity and duration of a workout by as much as 15%. I have found this week alone by cranking up the volume to my favorite tunes I am able to push myself a great deal further than I can without music. Unfortunately, like most novice gym goers I have a sucky pair of earphones that not only hurt my ears but also fall out when I really get into my groove. So when I heard about yubuds and the improvements they have made on earphones technology I knew I had to share it with you here on Waistline Wednesday.

It is just so nice to hear that these don’t hurt the ear canal over time. That’s my biggest complaint about most earbuds.

I just got myself a FitBit too! I haven’t used it yet but I can’t wait to see how much I am actually moving through the day. I feel like it will really help me stay motivated and get healthy if I can see exactly what I am doing.
Yurbuds are the BEST! I have weird ears and not all earbuds fit me right – and I NEED music to workout!!

I cannot think of just one song that really motivates me at the moment. I have an entire playlist called “Workout” so that I don’t get bored! I also use a FitBit to monitor my progress, so that’s motivational too.

I like listening to songs from the late 70s – mostly disco and early 80s new wave. The beats always get me moving!

I think that fitbit and those headphones would make a nice combo for anyone whose new years resolution is to get fit. I know I’m going to be going to Best Buy to look at those headphones this weekend.
Those Yurbuds looks so neat! I don’t think I’ve ever seen any like this before!
I already have a Fitbit Flex that I love so I totally need some of these ear buds to help me stay motivated during my workouts.

These ear buds look so cool! I actually have been listening to Roar (Katy Perry) a lot when running. It’s SUCH a great song to burn off some frustration and energy – not to mention a few calories.

I can’t dance at all but music does motivate me!
I most definitely always have to have music when I’m working out. I love the video!

I wanted a fit bit for Christmas. You’ll have to let me know how you like it and how well it works with keeping you on track. I love that it’s a family effort.
Now that they baby is almost 6 weeks old I need to power up the fitbit and buy those yurbuds!
I love that the kids are getting involved! It’s good to make it a family affair.
