Meet my new geeky best friend, Active Link, by Weight Watchers.
The flash drive clicks into either a clip that can be worn beneath your shirt or into a holder that can be worn around the neck. Unlike a pedometer, Active Link measures all your movements—a benefit that immediately piqued my curiosity.
A few others in Weight Watchers (who had already taken the AL plunge) shared how the gadget gave them an incentive to exercise more but I admit, I was not convinced. But having recently made some serious strides in eating healthier, I was game to try!
From the moment I slid the gadget into place my goal-oriented self became happy, happy, happy. If it only registers at 60% by mid-day, I find myself organizing a small area, sneaking in an extra walk, parking further from my destination, or pumping up my 70’s music (my favorite!)
One can’t go wrong with a gadget packaged in a bright green box. Gotta love it!

How cool is THAT? You know how I love a clever gadget 🙂
Keep up the good work, Cathy!
Thank you, Susan!!
Does typing count? That's about all the exercise I've been getting the past year. That's gotta change!
I hope typing counts for both our sakes, Vonda! I've been making myself get up every hour to move around a bit.
Sounds like a cool tool and a great motivator throughout the day!
Thanks, Ellen! I need all the help I can get. 🙂 Have a great weekend!
