Fitness trackers of all forms have been steadily gaining popularity in the last number of years. I Won't Use Fitness Trackers In The New Year
"For a mind that can easily obsess over goal-orientated details, it can turn your well-being into a winning or losing game"
Fitness trackers of all forms have been steadily gaining popularity in the last number of years. Recent figures have shown that 1 in 5 Americans own a tracker of some sort, and as we know what’s successful across the pond usually follows suit here too. It’s likely that you, or at least someone you know has a fitness tracker, used with the intent to add healthier lifestyle habits to your routine.
A study carried out by Joybird.com found that of over 1,800 fitness tracker wearers 45% of them have experienced anxiety caused by stress from wearing their tracker. This stress comes from failing to meet your daily fitness targets. ‘Did you get you steps in today?’ is a phrase we hear so often. Keeping count of the number of steps you do in a day is a new cultural norm, and when that magic 10000 number doesn’t appear on your screen you feel defeated.
It’s like sitting life’s ultimate test, every single day. A wellness tracker sparks the ‘good girl syndrome’ in me, and I would rather simply enjoy my 8 hours of sleep at night rather than torment myself with getting a perfect sleep score.
