A Blazing Summer + Fitbit Giveaway

61 Comments / Health & Wellness / By

Hello beautiful ladies! Hope you’re off to one heck of a summer; I know I am. I left my full-time job, celebrated my 29th birthday, camped with some of my faves, chilled by the ocean, took an incredible calligraphy class, and have been eating all the food. Um, hello wine + cheese.

One of my favorite parts about summer is being outdoors and staying active — be it hiking, long walks on the beach collecting sea glass, morning runs or standup paddleboarding.

Fitbit makes it easier than ever to track all of your activities in a stylish, simple way. With the latest and greatest member of their active line — the Fitbit Blaze — they’ve totally pumped it up a notch. I absolutely love the plum wristband on the one I was given (my fave color!) but it also comes in blue and black if purple’s not your thing.

Check out these sleek features to see why I’m lovin’ the Blaze:

  • Connected GPS™ maps routes and delivers real-time exercise stats on device like distance and pace (using the GPS from your connected smartphone).
  • Cool one-of-a-kind screen features like color touch screen and music control. Ya gotta have those beats!
  • PurePulse® continuous, wrist-based heart rate tracking helps maximize training, maintain workout intensity, and better track calorie burn and optimize health without the need for an uncomfortable chest strap.
  • Multi-sport mode records your core workouts like runs, cardio, cross-training, biking and more while providing relevant, real-time performance stats on display. PurePulse is enhanced while in Multi-sport mode for even better heart rate tracking, especially during high intensity workouts.
  • SmartTrack™ automatic exercise recognition effortlessly records workouts and gives you credit toward weekly exercise goals in the Fitbit app. It automatically recognizes and records continuous movement activities like biking, hiking, running and sports including basketball, soccer and tennis, and more.
  • FitStar™ on-screen workouts with guided instructions and images provide on-the-go exercises right on your wrist to coach you along. This is great for cross-training in between runs, for example.
  • All-day tracking of steps, distance, calories burned, floors climbed, and active minutes.
  • Automatically track how long and how well you sleep, and set a silent, vibrating alarm.
  • Stylish from work to workout: Fitbit’s most stylish tracker yet has you covered throughout your day. In fact, you can even change out the band with one of their leather bands to seamlessly take your Fitbit from work to workout.

I’m super excited to take my new blazin’ bff out for a run, and test out all the cool new features! It’ll pair perfectly with my brand new purple Nike sneaks 😉

    This Summer I’ve been taking long walks thanks to Pokémon Go.

    I love the wealth of free outdoor workouts offered in the summer in MA. I’m hoping to get to a Kick It by Eliza class before Summer ends.

    I also tweeted.

    My favorite way is too look for Pokemon with my daughter. The game allows us to bond ad we walk and play Pokemon Go.

    If it’s not too not, I like to run by the Charles. During these blazing hot days I’ll take a class indoors. I’m really into Flywheel right now.

    My favorite way to stay fit in the summer (and all year round, really!) is walking my dogs! We both benefit from all the exercise! I’m also getting fit for my wedding, and I’m loving all the extra energy. Hope I win!! 🙂

    oh gosh! so many things! Zumba, crossfit, going on walks, yoga in the park. All, of course, balanced out with some superb sangria on the patio <3

    I love running during the summer (year round actually) especially at dusk when the sun goes down and it’s cooler out!

    I love running along the Esplanade and around the Jamaica Pond in the morning (on the weekends) and right around sunset during the week!

    I love taking long walks with my work friend in the summer! We get together 3-4 times a week to walk near our office and enjoy the sunshine and warmth after being cooped up in the office (and AC chill!) all day.

    Hello Rachel, I watch youtube workout videos and follow the moves there, because it’s like having a fitness friend with you. I love blogilates and fitnessblender. There are some great dance tutorials too! I walk & run with my friends. Also, this summer I quit junk food and started eating fruits, and I feel healthier already. 🙂

    My favorite thing to do in the summer is go out on my kayak for a couple hours and then take a refreshing swim in the ocean!

    Hi,

    In the summer, I search for fitness around the city. I’ve taken classes on rooftops and on the beach, as well as yoga/spin in different studios. I’m signed up for Hip Hop Yoga via fitbit on Lawn on D.

    Love taking classes with friends!

    I’m staying active this summer by going to crossfit in the morning, walking my fluffy monster/goldendoodle throughout the day, and getting in some extra steps at Disney whenever I can!
