The time has come to reminisce on the New Year’s Resolutions we have made. How many are still going strong, and how many have fallen to the wayside? Some of us may have wanted to eat better, or stop ordering out as much; others may have wanted to exercise more or drink more water each day. Either way, when it comes to keeping wellness goals, it can be hard to do it alone.
Did you know that the tools that can help you on your wellness journey are right at your fingertips? Apps, websites, videos to stream, these could all help you get to where you want to be. When you are looking to focus on your fitness and overall wellness, check out the technology below that can help you along the way.
1. Monitor Your Progress
Wearable technology has allowed us to transform the way we work out and how we monitor our progress. We love to count our steps or see how far we’ve run, and smartwatches and other wearable bands have allowed us to do those things regularly. Not sure which option to choose? This guide compares fitness trackers to help you find the best one for your wellness needs. Whether it is an Apple Watch or a Fitbit, the most important factors to keep in mind are your price range, what you want to track, and what types of activities you plan to use it for.
2. Stay Hydrated
We have heard it our entire lives; we are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day. But in a world where we are always on-the-go, it gets hard to remember to drink water, let alone the right amount to keep all of our systems in pristine condition. Consider trying an app that turns water consumption into a game to facilitate a better connection for habitual water drinking. If you’re looking for a thorough system that can track the water you are drinking without you having to input the data yourself, there are smart water bottles—such as the Ozmo Smart Cup Hydration Tracker—that can connect to your phone not only to log what you drink but also to remind you when you should be drinking.
3. Research Your Nutrition
With the busy lives we all lead, sometimes it can be easier to just grab whatever is convenient for a meal, but do we ever stop to figure out if convenience is actually healthy? Being an informed consumer can help you create a better connection to how and what you eat. There are great digital guides for creating and maintaining a nutritious diet that can last a lifetime. Nutrition-based apps like myWW can help you follow a personalized and intuitive weight loss program right from your phone. You can analyze your diet to see what foods provide you the most nutrients (so you can consciously eat more of those) and what foods have less than desirable ingredients (so you can stray away from those). Having an app that can be a daily guide through your wellness journey can help you become more informed about your diet and help you build lasting healthy habits.
4. Exercise From Anywhere
When you have a busy schedule that makes it hard to get to the gym, you should utilize the ways you can bring the gym to you! Searching YouTube for convenient exercise routines you can do at home can give you the boost you need in the morning before you start a busy day or at night when you want to wind down from the stress. When you want to take it to the next level, incorporating equipment like a Peleton exercise bike can bring the intensity of a workout class right to your home. Utilizing technology in your exercise routine will allow you to create and maintain goals from virtually anywhere.
Technology has always been called the wave of the future. Now that the future is here let’s use technology to our advantage in the most important aspect of our lives: our health. Move over excuses, It’s time for more improvements!
