Keep Your Health in Good Hands.

Did you watch the Olympics? Did you watch the greatest of them all (GOAT) Kipchoge sweep through
the field to win that coveted gold medal? Did you see how he crossed the finishing line like he had only
jogged for a millisecond? Then went on to cheer and help his fellow marathoners as they crossed the
line several minutes later, as if they had not covered the same distance? Did you see? Because that was
magical, the highlight of the Olympics. Then there was Helen Obiri in a recent IAAF race, she trailed that Ethiopian and
swooped in at the last minute to claim the gold medal for herself, man! That girl has such a
commendable stamina. Admirable and in Italian they say ‘molto bellisima’. Then there is most of us,
who the only thing we run away from is our debts and sometimes bad decisions.
Last year, when the lockdown was implemented, a lot of us decided to do exercises, well for me, I was
doing a lot of walking to my kitchen, opening the fridge and lifting food from it, then doing a quick walk
to the couch because Netflix waits for no one, okay, it does but point is, eating and being a potato couch
was all the exercise that I was doing at the moment. Then two weeks later, none of my clothes were
fitting, I had to start thinking about my life choices in not so fun ways. I went online and found simple
home exercises that a lazy person like me could easily accomplish. There was no stopping me from
achieving my goal body, well, except when I was having more ice cream scoops and eating which was all
the time. I started with small exercises in the house but soon discovered a group of people who were
walking around the neighboring estates to keep fit. They started at 6.30 in the morning in Fedha estate,
walked through Nyayo estate to Southern by pass all the way to where TajMall used to be and finishing
where they had started. I was excited, one staying indoors doing the same thing over and over again
wasn’t as great as I had initially thought It would be and secondly, they had said on national TV that
exercise was among the things to keep corona away. One thing that I quickly noticed on everyone in the
group was the smart watch. It could calculate the steps we had taken going round, how long we had
taken and how many calories we had burnt. Smart!
Smart watches are the most recommended health and wellness devices around. Besides answering your
calls, reading your messages and checking out your social media notifications without touching your
phone, a smart watch is the Kipchoge of health tracking devices. Smart watches basically count the steps
that you take every day, recommends how many steps you should take every day, analyses your sleep
data and shows you how much you sleep everyday as well as make healthy recommendations
depending on your lifestyle choices. It is a savior in not so many words, everybody should have a smart
watch.
