Professor Sistrunk today in class told us to create a blog on something that exemplifies “you” as an individual. I took heed in what he said and thought about what my blog could be about. I’ve been involved a company called Nike and thought it would be good to expose people to new things that Nike has to offer. All we do in class is talk about how technology is about to take over so I wanted to introduce a piece of technology that Nike has created ,what might be helpful in the near future. There has been talk about how people today do not get out enough and become physically active. So Nike created something called a Fuel Band. This Fuel Band is just a measurement of how active you are and the intensity of a daily activity.
How this works is a person wears the band. According to how hard a person works out, the individual will collect something Nike likes to call “fuel Points”. A person will set a goal on the Fuel Band and then work out or exercise. For example, a person will set a goal of 2,000 fuel points. He or she will hit the gym, began working out, and after exercising the person will have met a goal of 2,000 fuel points. Setting goals will help motivate a person to work out more until they accomplish the goal that is set. Every day you will wear the band, and set the goal higher than yesterday’s goal. Every day you should increase with fuel points. The more fuel points you get the more active and fit you become. To learn more about this new technology go to:
http://www.nike.com/ and type in Nike Fuelband
Here is a link straight to the Fuelband page:
This band will help those who work out, really achieve a goal set by that themselves. I really think that this fuel band is more innovative than all the other fuelbands created, due to the fact that it allows you to set workout goals.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very interesting I will definitely have to check this out as I'm starting to try to get more physically fit. Anything that can be a motivator for good health is always a plus.
ReplyDeleteI have heard about this Nike fuel band in another class of mines. I believe it is an excellent tool in maximizing the workout of athlete's or individuals who want to get in shape or stay in shape. This product will be very popular depending on how effective it is at measuring your activity level.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. It makes it much easier for a person to reach a goal during workouts. Usually when a person works out they set there mind on maybe a 2 or 3 mile jog. But with this Nike fuel band a person can measure exactly how active they were. This band will make working out much more sample.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading this post, I have decided that sometime in the near future I will be investing in one of these Nike bands for myself. I love working out and setting physical goals for myself to reach so this innovation is right up my alley.
