In this show we discuss weight scales, heart monitors, and robots that are being used in the health community. Should we turn to technology to help us with our weight loss or fitness goals? Well, it’s important to measure body fat on occasion rather than stepping on the scale frequently. And unless you’re super competitive, heart rate monitors cater to the misguided fitness notion of chronic cardio; instead, do more natural movements, strength training, and high intensity bursts of exercise, such as sprints. Beware the “cheat day” cycle and focus on healthy replacements. The future might look bright for AI software that can assist people mentally and physically. Now, what does it take to maintain the healthy mind fit body lifestyle? We explore they psychological side of this issue via a comment on our last podcast. Self-acceptance is key, as is self-awareness of subconscious thoughts and feelings, in order to become more integrated and focused on your own integrity with healthy processes.

Once again, we welcome you to tell us about your own weight loss challenges by commenting after this podcast or the accompanying blog post at http://healthymindfitbody.com

I have found using an application on my smartphone really helps me maintain my food diary. Because I carry my phone with me, and it has internet, I can keep my food diary up to date and record my exercise and weekly weight easily. I can also subscribe to rss feeds like this one, to keep motivated and in the right mindset, so for me a little tech helps!

  Indeed, Angie, smart phones are only going to get smarter and handier to use, for us to keep tabs on our healthy and fit processes. Glad to hear that you’ve found an easy way to do this without becoming bogged down in meticulous calculation. :)
