What can I say about my Shiiv journey this pass week?
I was completely surprised by how much my legs hurt. During
my usual day I really do not move around. Completing 10,000 steps daily takes
purposeful walking.
The Shiiv app counts my steps under two conditions:
Your phone is with you and the app is running in the
background of your phone.
Once you have walked your 10,000 steps you get a wonderful
Goal Achieved screen, then Shiiv asked you to beat your average for all the
days you have used the app.
With Shiiv’s suggestion to +1000 steps verses yesterday
everyday, you could easily burn out quickly.
Now this is where I noticed I needed to be careful. I have
tried to maintain a steady increase of less than 10 steps a day. I turn off the
app once I have reached my daily goal to stop the app from background counting.
Shiiv also counts and tracks:
Your miles walked
Your minutes of activity
And your calories burned daily while prompting you to do
just a little bit better in each area than the day before.
Under charts you can see at a glance how you have improved
in these areas over time.
Under trophies
you can see any items you have won or accomplished but only for the
current day.
You can also use Striiv to complete with friends on Facebook.
My weight did not change much this week so I am using the same scale picture as a reminder that my preserving will pay off.
As Always,
