THIS THING CHANGES YOUR LIFE

May is enchanted by it

Whether I wanted the gold or the silver variant. Look, those are questions that make a person happy. The sender was the company Fitbit. You know, those rubber bands that active types walk around with and that I was really curious about, but which I thought just didn't match the rest of my jewelry. Yes, laugh about it, that's just how it is.

But now there are the luxury variants. I chose the gold one that perfectly blends with my row of bracelets. What does that Fitbit do for you?

For example, it measures the number of steps you take. Now critics and sourpusses say: ‘You can measure that with your iPhone too?’ But do you have your iPhone with you when you run up the stairs for the thirty-seventh time in your house? Now you again. I was incredibly curious about what I was doing in my mother status per day. I can tell you: before I get into the car to go to the office, your editor-in-chief has already taken 2000 steps. 2000. That's a lot, you know.

The Fitbit calculates how many steps you should take based on your height and weight. In my case, that's 8000 and even though I've already taken a lot of those before the clock strikes nine, it still stagnates at the office. In a shocking way. Sometimes on a workday, I barely hit 3700 steps.

“A fit girl is in the making.”

Furthermore, the Fitbit measures your sleep pattern. Sometimes it brings me to insane insights but it also leads to deep depressions. 5 hours and 51 minutes, of which 7 times awake and 20 times restless. That doesn't make a person happy. But this Christmas, Fitbit was incredibly proud of me. 8 hours and 30 minutes, hatsekiedee. Even slept for 10 hours once. 10 hours. That's normally the sum of two nights.

Thanks to my Fitbit, I don't mind if I can't find a parking spot nearby / if I have to take the trash to the container further away / that everyone looks at me when the doorbell rings and I have to open the door, and so on.

It has changed my life. Quite a bit, actually. Watch out, Simone, a fit girl is in the making.

Now you naturally want to know how much it costs. This golden beauty is already yours for 130 euros.
