Fitbit Force Wristband Movement and Sleep Tracker Unboxing

As mentioned earlier, I got my Fitbit Force the other day and so I made an unboxing video to share with everyone since as we all know, opening the box is one of the best parts of getting something new :)

Inside was pretty much what I expected, the Fitbit Force, a charging cable, a Bluetooth dongle and a sheet of paper with a URL on where to download the setup software and instructions.

I do have to say that so far everything is working as expected and the transition from my Fitbit Flex to my Fitbit Force was absolutely seamless, Fitbit made this part super easy actually un-pairing my flex at the same time as I paired my Force and transferring all the days data over to it so nothing was lost.

So far the Altimeter is counting each time I go up my stairs, (9 times today) and I love the OLED screen with its instant stat feedback.

I will be doing a full review in the next week or so once I've had the chance to give it a good thorough testing!

Just Got My Fitbit Force Wristband Fitness Tracker!

Picked up my Fitbit Force today, I will have unboxing video for you very shortly, the setup and replacement of my Fitbit Flex was a breeze! The Fitbit setup software on my iPhone 5s even sent all the days data over to the Fitbit Force so I didn't lose my data for the day! It's cool watching the Force count floors climbed as I go up and down the stairs :)

Workout Journal - Squats - 285 Pounds for 4 Reps

We did back squats again today at CrossFit Langley, this time my partner added a bit more weight than I normally would have on my own but that's how you reach new goals! Last Squat day workout session I managed a 6 rep 265 pound max set. Today we went all the way up to 285 pounds and I was able to do 4 reps.

This is how the sets broke down:

• 5 x 135 (Warmup)
• 5 x 205
• 5 x 225
• 5 x 245
• 5 x 265
• 4 x 285

It will be interesting to see what my one rep squat max is when we do a max rep squat workout?

CrossFit Langley Metcon Workout - 100 Push-ups, Pull-ups, Sit-ups, Air Squats

If you want to get in a really great workout that you could even do in your home then checkout this (Metabolic Conditioning) "Metcon" Workout video I did at my Langley CrossFit Gym.

All you need to do this fairly intense workout is your own body weight and a chin-up bar, you will also need about 20-30 minutes of your time ;)

In a nutshell this is the entire workout:

• 100 Pull-ups
• 100 Push-ups
• 100 Sit-ups
• 100 Air Squats.

The recommended break up was 4 sets of 25 reps each but you can do them any way you like as long as you get them all done.

I broke mine up into 4 sets of 25 for the Push-ups, Sit-ups and Air Squats, with sets of 10-20 reps for my Pull-ups until they where all done. It took me just over 18 minutes to complete the Metcon Workout this time but I know I can do better as I wasted  a lot of time and energy on my early sets of Pull-ups till I worked out a more efficient butterfly technique.

My below YouTube Video of this workout has some added Narration with my comments:
