Get Moving with the Garmin vivofit jr

December 7, 2016 4 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

As a parent, you know that your kids are ALWAYS watching you.  Mimicking your every move.  So it’s a no brainer that by taking care of yourself, you’re teaching them to take care of themselves.

My kids have grown up watching me run and watching my husband go to the gym.  Heck, they know the gym staff as well as some relatives.  🙂

So as I’ve gotten more into training for endurance sports, they’ve seen me strap on my Garmin and I often times find them sneaking into my room to put it on.  I know you’re supposed to teach your kids to share but this is one time I don’t want to.  🙂  They are ALWAYS asking for their own.  So when Garmin offered to let them try out the new vivofit jr I jumped at the chance!!

E asked for the digi camo and MiniE asked for the Broken Lava.

The vivofit jr tracker is SUPER kid friendly, made of a durable material that both kids seem to like.  E has found the timer function and loves to use it to time himself…brushing his teeth, running to the fence and back, just about everything.  🙂

MiniE loves the Butterfly icon and that she has one like her big brother.  I love the app.  I can manage all the functions and even keep track of their chores

Fitness is supposed to be fun and with the Garmin vivofit jr.  The kids are having a blast!!  We are looking forward to staying active together!

Keep your kids moving with the @GarminFitness vivofit jr #BeatYesterday

    […] E is really big into “racing” me lately so we head to the Y and race around the elevated track.  I would love to tell you I beat him every time but turns out the little bugger is fast.  So we actually can race.  He loves tracking his winning steps on the Garmin Vivofit jr.  We’ve had these since early December and he’s still LOVING it.  You can see a full review here.
