Could Fitness Trackers Make for a Passive Aggressive Christmas?

December 20, 2018 ~ admin

Christmas is the time for giving. It can also be the time where your loved ones ‘give’ you particular messages via the gifts they give.

Fat shaming and nagging doesn’t motivate weight loss…  would the response be different if it came from a smart watch?

What If Wearables Designed To Help You Get Fitter Also Contributed To Extra Stress?

Watch tells its wearer that it is time to get moving
I am sick of this smart watch telling me to exercise all the time
Walking past the boss' office... gets called in :(
I wanted to check on you because you are late a lot recently
don't let your exercise ruin your work dedication
My boss is super rude and my love is missing me
This sucks, exercising constantly is ruining my life

There’s a good chance that gadgets that remind you to exercise and be active could actually be REALLY annoying and routine disturbing.

I guess that’s good for some people?

December 6, 2018 ~ admin

Needing to swap clothes with strangers because you’ve changed sizes might not always feel good. But maybe a meeting with a similarly styled stranger could lead to body image and fitness inspiration!
