Muvin and Gruvin {Giveaway}
One of the things I looked forward to at FitBloggin was the opportunity to try out the Gruve.
I had a heard talk about it on Twitter and was excited to be able to wear one at the conference. I got hooked using it while I was there, but knew I couldn't afford the price so I was beyond thrilled when they made the big announcement that we could keep them!!!
What's the Gruve you ask? Here's what their website has to say about it:
The colors are a huge motivation for me as I strive to meet my green goal. There have been some evenings when I was on blue that I would make myself move so I could get it on green before bed. Before I would have just given in and hit the sack. Oh and I can't forget to tell you about the vibration! The Gruve vibrates when you become still for too long, telling you to get your butt up and moving. I find this very helpful and its so annoying that you do get up and move just so it will be still!
I've been wearing my Gruve ever since Fitbloggin and you may say I'm slightly addicted to it as I feel nekkid if I leave the house in the morning without it. My daughter is a huge help with reminding me to put it on though as she loves to see what color I'm on and is always encouraging me to get it on green! I give the gruve two enthusiastic thumbs up!!
Want a chance to win your own Gruve? Well my fitness friend Jenn has her
hands on two new gruves and is giving them away to two lucky readers. So go visit, say hi, and enter to win your Gruve today {the contest ends on the 12th so hurry!!}

What's the Gruve you ask? Here's what their website has to say about it:
Our Gruve is an amazing piece of technology!! This little device provides you with a personalized, quantifiable measure of your activities and the calories you burn throughout your day.
The Gruve uses an omnidirectional accelerometer to measure activity intensity and duration. Synchronizing your Gruve device with our Gruve web site gives you the ability to view your own daily calorie burn and track your weight loss progress.Now it is not a weight loss program, but rather a tool to use to increase your activity, which in turn should assist with weight loss. During the first week you complete an assessment trial where the gruve records your normal activity rate. It then sets up a personal activity goal and you use the Gruve to track your progress in meeting this goal each day. The gruve uses color codes {red, orange, yellow, blue, green} which provide a visual for your activity progress throughout the day. You want a green day everyday because that means you met your fitness goal! When you meet your goal so many days in a row the fitness goal then adjusts to push you to increase your activity level even more.
