\"healthtracker\"At the beginning of every year, we make promises to better ourselves. We call these plans \u201cresolutions.\u201d The resolution begins with high hopes and slight delusions of grandeur. We choose something like \u201cThis year, I\u2019m finally going to climb Mount Everest.\u201d<\/p>\n

But within the first few months of the year the resolution changes to \u201cMaybe I\u2019ll start by climbing the biggest hill in town.\u201d And by May it has changed to \u201cI should probably climb off the couch to get my own Oreos.\u201d<\/p>\n

Or maybe you promised yourself you would go to the gym every day. But by February you\u2019ve convinced yourself that was a bit ambitious and not even Gisele has time to hit the gym every <\/i>day. By May you\u2019ve accepted that chasing around your kids and making sure your husband doesn\u2019t hurt himself while doing household projects definitely counts as exercise (and that chocolate is a good source of antioxidants).<\/p>\n

This is the all too familiar \u201cde-evolution\u201d of the New Year\u2019s Resolution.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a sad fact\u2014one in three New Year\u2019s Resolutions doesn\u2019t make it in to February (note: not actual fact, just drawn from personal life experience). But now there\u2019s a way to make sure your resolution has a fighting chance by using the Withings Pulse Fitness Tracker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Withings Pulse not only captures steps and calories burned, but also elevation climbed and distance travelled. It syncs with your smartphone or tablet to analyze your data and help you better yourself by improving your choices after viewing this data (AKA proof of your activity\u2026or inactivity). And when you see your progress, you\u2019ll be motivated to keep going.<\/p>\n

The Withings Pulse also analyzes your sleep so you can see if you are sleeping soundly or have a pattern of sleep walking and terrorizing the neighborhood (or the fridge).<\/p>\n

Resolutions are easy to keep when you\u2019re being held accountable by devices such as the Withings Pulse Tracker. But don\u2019t worry\u2014for those chronic resolution breakers such as myself, there still is one loophole\u2014it doesn\u2019t measure how much chocolate you eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
