Are Smart Bands Worth It?

Smart Band


A smart band is also called a fitness band or fitness tracker. Smart band, also has the features of time, fitness-tracking, and connection to the smartphone, but it does not have as complex features as the smartwatch. It is relatively smaller and thinner in size than the smartwatch. As its name indicates, it is a “band” sized watch.


You know that exercise is good for your heart and good for you. But do you really know how much physical activity you're getting? How can you get more exercise day in and day out to boost your heart health? A fitness tracker may help.

 

Studies show that consistent use of a fitness tracker - a device that tracks your movement, such as a traditional pedometer or another wearable device, or a smartphone app - can add more than a mile to your daily steps, especially if you establish a smart daily goal.

 

"Fitness trackers are a great tool for heart health," says Johns Hopkins cardiologist Seth Martin, M.D. "It's important to change your habits more aggressively, but it can be difficult. When combined with a clear goal, tracking may help many people."

The Heart-Smart Power of Fitness Trackers

Having an objective daily record allows people to see how little they are exercising, which can realign their mindset and become a motivator. People will find ways to incorporate more activity into their day, whether it's dedicated walking or gym time, walking during meetings or personal calls, or just taking the stairs instead of the elevator.

 

It gives people information that empowers them to start making changes for heart health. And, until they start tracking, their activity level is often not something they are concerned about.

 

Fitness trackers. Where to start and how to stay on track

Try a few pedometers, smartphone tracking apps, or wearable devices until you find one that is comfortable for you and your budget. Once you've found the right one, the next steps.

 

Use the tracker consistently every day.

Set a goal. The most common number is 10,000 steps per day but check with your doctor. If this is unrealistic or unhealthy, he or she can suggest a personalized plan, such as doubling your 2,000 steps to 4,000.

Look for activities you enjoy that also fit into your daily routine and that you can stick with over time.

Recruit friends and family to use the tracker as well. This can create a social support network and even foster a sense of competition.

 

Be accountable. Check your numbers daily and share them with your doctor at your next appointment.

Follow these five tips and you'll be on your way to a healthier lifestyle - and a healthier heart.

 

The Future of Fitness Trackers

As physicians learn and introduce better ways to use these devices, it's important to be prepared as well. In a recent study, Martin and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins University tested an automated, real-time, personalized program that sent text messages to subjects based on their cell phone data. In a short period of time, this coaching system helped add more than a mile a day to their steps.

 

Martin would like to see a similar system become widely available. He also wants to test social media platforms to build a network of support and competition." It hasn't been studied, but we think it will work," Martin said." I think technology can be a very powerful tool to get people moving more."
