Nuyuu are looking at launching a weight management programme with Ki Fit and as such I am excited to report I have been kitted out with the Ki Fit armband.
So what is Ki Fit?
This multi sensor armband is really a small computer that measures a range of physical parameters such as motion, heat flux and skin temperature.
It’s the only multi-sensor monitor that can accurately track:
|
Initially you pop all your personal data into the Online Activity Manager.
The Online Activity Manager is a personalised web page that enables you to see your information.
This includes:
| |
The Online Activity Manager not only makes it possible to view your individual data, but also features a selection of tools that help you set goals, record your weight and waist measurements, assess your average daily calorie intake, print out reports and monitor your body’s progress.
In addition to this you have online experts who you can assist you along the way whatever your goal.
There is an awful lot of science behind this product and reassuringly it is so accurate it is recognised as a medical device.
Now let me just say the only gadget I have trusted to measure my calorie burn in the past decade has been my loyal heart rate monitor, I am not a gadget person as a rule, but the Ki Fit is something else.
Each day you complete an online food log (honesty required!!) using the large food database or simply inputting the information on your food labels. Once you have entered a food you regularly consume it will be stored in your database. This logging takes about five minutes a day and you can then be sure you are accurately tracking your calorie intake.
The Ki Fit armband is simple to set up and use, each day you sync the armband to your computer and get your detailed report on the Online Activity Manager.
So why am I so excited by this gadget? Well let me tell you something, as a trainer I desperately want my clients to succeed, just like the staff in your gym want to see you succeed! Nothing pleases us more than seeing our clients achieve their goals, but that hour or two a week with us is not all it takes!
Ki Fit empowers the user! It is so damn accurate it’s scary and as such I genuinely believe in its use as a weight management tool. It is like having your trainer with you 24/7 (yep that’s the bad news!!). It will provide you with the reassurance that you are following an effective plan, be your goal to lose weight, gain weight or simply become more active.
The daily reports enable you to take control, they provide you with the information you need to make those all important changes to your life, I have already discovered a few things about my lifestyle I plan to change:
I have a couple of cosy pounds to lose, I have discovered my daily nibbles are sabotaging my attempts and as such I have smartened up my eating regime.
I have been waking tired despite being under the illusion I get plenty of sleep. Not so! I have been averaging 6.5 hours a night, so I am going to have to cut my coffee consumption to see if I can improve my sleep patterns.
I cannot stress enough the potential of this gadget, and I am confident those who use it will share my enthusiasm!
You will find a trial programme running at your Nuyuu gym at the moment, good luck to my fellow guinea pigs I hope you are finding this product as great as I do. I will keep you all informed of my ongoing progress with my new best friend!!
