The Gift of Health

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Withings, part of Nokia. All opinions are 100% mine.

This time of year always inspires me to renew my commitment to better health, and it’s something I want to share with others. I was thinking of gift ideas for those I loved, and felt that something that encouraged them to be healthier would be a great way to go, especially since we all pretty much resolve to be healthier every New Year – we just need a little encouragement to stick to it!

A gift that inspires good health

Withings Body Cardio Scale is a great gift for anyone you know who wants to take control of their health (including you). My parents recently shared a desire to take better care of themselves, incorporating more aerobic activity into their sedentary lifestyle. My grandmother admitted that she is now walking daily, and hopes to improve her cholesterol by eating more veggies and less carbs and meat. Even my husband has started to weight lift again after a year of slacking off.

I recently started using the Body Cardio Scale and Health Mate app (it tracks the information of the Body Cardio Scale to let me know how I’m doing). I love feeling inspired to make better health choices, and this does it for me. Did I hit my step goal for the day? How is my BMI? Am I drinking enough water? I get information on weight-loss progress, my water percentage, muscle and bone mass, and even my standing heart rate.

Getting in a little more exercise each day and drinking more water are simple steps, but these small things lead to big improvements in our health and well-being. I love the encouragement and reminder to take care of myself, and I also love that the scale multitasks – just like me! The Body Cardio Scale can recognize and record measurements for up to 8 different people, and its design makes it a great gift for both the tech-savvy and health-conscious.

Wanting to be healthy is a universal desire, and the best way to encourage those we love to stay on the right track is with a gift that shows we are rooting for them. The Withings Body Cardio Scale does all of that, and accurately, too! Position Control™ technology gives it the ability to be accurate on any surface, and it’s thin and sleek – it even fits perfectly under my desk.

Better gifts for better living

You can also take a look at Withings Steel Watch. It tracks activity around the clock, without needing to be recharged. It tracks activity around the clock, without needing to be recharged. It tracks all of your activity – running, swimming, and more, via a patented Connected Movement™ Technology. This syncs the info to the Health Mate app and provides you with in-depth metrics and even personal coaching.

The Steel Watch also tracks distance and calories burned, monitors sleep, and features a silent vibrating alert. It is also gorgeous, making it a really great gift idea for someone who in interested in tracking activity with a product that isn’t fussy or lacking in style. It’s made of stainless steel, the watchband comes in nine color options, and it is water resistant up to 5ATM.

Withings Body Cardio Scale and Steel Watch are my picks for best gifts for someone who wants to improve their health (i.e., anyone), especially with the New Year right around the corner. All of my loved ones making health-focused resolutions, and I want to get them started right! My grandmother can expect a Withings Body Cardio Scale from me this year to inspire her to stay on track.
