LAKE FOREST, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September signals a renewed sense of routine in many households, so it’s
an ideal time to take stock of your fitness regimen. Whether working to
maintain muscle tone or lose weight, a little extra motivation can go a
long way. Small enough to fit in your pocket, the Omron
Activity Monitor with Weight Loss Tracker (HJA-312) is your
“take-everywhere” fitness tool.
“Setting goals, using the right tools and tracking progress are
essential when establishing a fitness routine, and even more so when
you’re trying to lose weight”
Unique among activity monitors, this device translates your weight loss
wishes into real time activity goals. Whether walking, running or simply
doing housework, you will know precisely how many calories you need to
burn to reach your weekly milestones. Results and progress over time can
be tracked by with easy, automatic data upload to your personal
dashboard at OmronFitness.com.
“Setting goals, using the right tools and tracking progress are
essential when establishing a fitness routine, and even more so when
you’re trying to lose weight,” said Bob
Greene, “20 Years Younger” author and Oprah’s personal trainer.
“Staying motivated is critical to success, which is why I love the Omron
activity monitor with weight loss tracker – that’s something no other
brand offers.”
To help your workout routine fall into place, Greene offers his advice
for practicing healthy habits and setting fitness goals:
-
Measure What Matters: Some people have a primary goal of losing
weight, while others want to increase activity, tone muscle or improve
heart health. If your goal is to lose weight in order to fit into a
favorite holiday dress, take advantage of Omron’s weekly calories
burned goal tracker, which helps you set a weight loss target and
translates that into activity time needed to reach that goal.
-
Activity is Everywhere: Don’t forget that everyday fall
activities are calorie-burning opportunities, including apple picking,
leaf raking and trick-or-treating with the kids. Every move made
counts as physical activity, so make sure to track at all times.
-
Make It a Family Affair: Instead of thinking about your husband
and kids as a roadblock to your fitness goals, create a plan for the
whole family to reach your goals and spend more time together. In a
cold climate, have the kids help shovel snow – or burn some calories
making a snowman. It helps you and everyone moving!
-
Track over Time: Once you’ve started a workout routine, it is
important to track results on a weekly basis in order to continue to
improve over time. As you lose weight, remember that goals will need
to be adjusted.
-
The Power of 80 Percent: People tend to have an all-or-nothing
attitude when it comes to living healthy. But if you can follow your
fitness routine even 80 percent of the time, you're still going to be
successful.
Tracking is a breeze when you sync your Omron activity monitor to a
personal dashboard at OmronFitness.com. Once data is transferred with
the NFC
Communication Tray, the dashboard documents your fitness trends for
the week, month and year to show improvements and activity trends over
time. Connect with friends through social networks to share your
progress and motivate each other along the way.
