U of I Extension offers help getting the most out of activity trackers

Posted

STANDARD - Every step counts! Studies show using activity trackers gives people an accurate count for steps, heart rate and sleep. As a “wearable piece of accountability,” they are a fun way to get people off the couch and moving.

Trackers have built-in reminders to get up and moving, so they can be a launching point for better health. Join University of Illinois Extension Nutrition and Wellness Educator Susan Glassman and learn about different types of activity trackers, take a talk test and set goals for yourself. Get tips to get the most out of your activity tracker.

“Every Step Counts, Getting the Most Out of Activity Trackers” will take place at 10:15 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 22 at Putnam County Community Center, 128 First St., Standard. For more information, to request a reasonable accommodation or to register, please contact University of Illinois Extension by calling (815) 224-0889 by Oct. 18.
