In this past year, we’ve seen parents take on even more roles than they’ve had to juggle before. From being star parents to the employee of the month in the work-from-home office to the principal of virtual schooling – there’s no denying that it’s been a whirlwind year for the moms and dads out there.
When trying to balance it all it can be tough to focus on self-care and your health, especially when running a household and navigating virtual work meetings. Here are six ways investing in a fitness tracker can make managing all these different roles while reaping health benefits a breeze:
You can ensure your vitals and stress levels stay good
It’s easy to forget to pause, regulate your breathing, and de-compress while checking your daily to-do list and ensuring the kids stay well-fed and out of trouble. With a fitness tracker, like the HUAWEI Band 6, you can swiftly and seamlessly check on your blood oxygen saturation levels, stress levels, and, of course, your heart rate and even get notified of irregular heart rates patterns by a simple buzz on your wrist. This can be a saving grace that helps you to pause, even just for a few seconds, to de-clench your jaw, relax tense muscles and just take a few deep breaths. In fact, there are even breathing settings on fitness trackers that can help you pace your breathing and regulate your heart rate.
Stay on the pulse of your calendar
Keeping track of one’s daily schedule can often slip the mind on a busy day. Syncing this data from your smartphone to your wrist and setting alarm reminders give you the security and peace of mind to know you’ll never miss an appointment or task you’ve got scheduled for the day. This allows you to balance work and family life and events with ease.
You can earn rewards and boost your morale for every step chasing the kids
Many often don’t realise just how much of a physical task it is to take care of kids, especially toddlers on the run. You’d be surprised how many steps you get in a day that goes unnoticed. With fitness trackers like the HUAWEI Band 6, you’re able to save that data and even get little virtual rewards by breaking new goals. This is also a great motivator for the days you feel you perhaps didn’t have time to fit in a workout or time to be active.
Family group selfies are a breeze
Fitness trackers, like the HUAWEI Band 6, feature a remote shutter control button. This allows you to take selfies on your HUAWEI smartphone with a simple tap of your wrist - making taking group family selfies on Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid, or Diwali a quick and easy task.
It reminds you to take some you time and get some well-deserved rest
If you do find yourself chained to a desk most of the day or sitting too long while the children nap, a fitness tracker will be sure to buzz you into action with a reminder to stand up, stretch, and move around a bit. Ensuring your muscles are kept relaxed and tension-free. You can also track your sleep with a fitness tracker to know just how much sleep you get in each night as well as its quality – allowing you to make sleep adjustments that let you be your best self each day.
You’ll never have to wonder where your phone is as you go about your day
And, of course, there will always be the reality of misplacing your phone during a busy day – be it in the car, kitchen, bathroom, the kids’ play area, or your pocket. Fitness trackers, like the HUAWEI Band 6, features a ‘Find Phone’ feature that, with a simple tap, will call your phone to help you find it around the house.
These are just some of the ways fitness trackers can make everyday life that much more convenient. They can also allow you to get creative with your fitness. HUAWEI’s latest tracker, the HUAWEI Band 6, blends smartwatch technology into its lightweight, slim-strap design with a bigger screen than its predecessors for a seamless user experience.
Boasting an impressive 96 workouts to choose from, you can track your fitness whether you’re going on a run and swimming or bungee jumping and roller-skating. Beyond this, you can track your menstrual cycle, remotely control your music while on a walk, jog, or run, and customise your watch face on its new vibrant 1.47-inch AMOLED FullView display and high-resolution 194 x 368 display with 282 PPI screen.
