Wearable fitness bands have become extremely popular in recent years. Whether you're a fitness pro or just starting out on your health journey, tracking your progress is absolutely essential for success.
Health wearables are able to track many facets of your overall health; including physical activity, heart rate, sleep patterns, recovery, and more. In the past, it was difficult to gather this data without seeing multiple medical specialists. Today, wearable health trackers make it easy to gain control of your own health at home, for a small fraction of the cost.
1. Accurately Track Calories Burned
By monitoring your activity levels and heart rate, a wearable band can track your calories burned more accurately than ever. The CardioMood band uses a built-in accelerometer and gyroscope to precisely track your movements.
Did you know? The number one calorie-burning exercise is using a spinning elliptical trainer. The average person can burn up to 1,342 calories per hour on this machine!
2. Analyze Your Performance Data
Most bands connect to an app on your phone via Bluetooth, allowing you to instantly view your heart rate, body temperature, daily step count, sleep statistics and more. Devices like the CardioMood band will also analyze your data and provide personalized recommendations.
3. Readiness and Recovery Tracking
By tracking your Resting Heart Rate and Heart Rate Variability, a health tracking device can help you determine if you've recovered enough to continue intense training. The CardioMood band provides you a personalized Readiness Score recorded daily.
4. Sleep Tracking
A wearable band tracks your REM sleep and sleep stages. The CardioMood band also tracks: - Tranquility: How soundly you slept - Performance: How much time in bed was actually spent sleeping
5. Goal Setting
Without knowing what your baseline fitness levels are, it's difficult to set realistic goals. Wearing a fitness band will let you know exactly where you're starting from.
6. Motivation
The ability to visualize progress is extremely important. Being able to see where you started in comparison to where you currently are is very motivational.
7. Accountability
A great way to increase accountability is to go into it with others. Suggest that friends and family members also get fitness tracking bands and challenge each other to reach your goals.
8. Mental Health
Studies have shown that after participating in moderate-intensity exercise, many people experience mood boosts linked to endorphin release. Endorphins can help decrease stress and thereby improve your mental health.
The Science Behind the CardioMood Health Tracker
The CardioMood band uses Photoplethysmography (PPG) to collect health data. PPG measures blood volume changes in the microvasculature by using a light source and photodetector on the skin's surface. This is the same technology used on common pulse oximeters.
