With all of the conveniences available now. It is no wonder why the United States is considered one of the most unhealthy places to live. The average person no longer walks or takes part in physical activities as in times past due to the public transportation available as well as the convenience of driving ones car or motorcycle. Gone are the day’s of having to walk for miles just to provide a living for your family. Or heading to the gym for a work out. Many are so busy with work that they feel there is not much time for exercise.
The lack of non-physical activity has resulted in many adults becoming obese and acquiring many life threatening aliments. The same can be said regarding many of our overweight and unhealthy children. Unfortunately the statistic are rising instead or declining and if we as parent’s don’t do something, many of our children will suffer.
As a mother of 5. I have made a personal commitment to change the way my family eats and exercises. We have made small changes like added healthy foods to our diet as well as engaging in regular exercise and even Yoga. That’s why I’m so excited about a new product called the ibitz Wireless Pedometer.

I think my little guy would like this. He tends to be lazy in the summer months and I think it would entice him to be a little more active.

That is really neat! My daughter runs around outside with her friends now but I certainly need more exercise.

This would certainly be an encouragement to get moving in order to beat the count from previous day. Anything to increase activity.
