Tracking My Fitness While Pregnant with Fitbit

This post is sponsored by Kohl’s. I was paid for this post and received the included Fitbit as compensation.

I am nearing the end of my second pregnancy and have gained around twenty pounds so far. What most of you don’t know is in my first pregnancy I gained a whopping 50 pounds! Gaining the weight was easy, but losing the weight was not. When I found out I was pregnant this time around, I made a conscious effort not to put on the weight like I did last time. To keep myself on track, I watch what I eat, I exercise, and I use a Fitbit Versa Ruby to track my activity.

This is my first time owning a smartwatch. I purchased the limited-edition Fitbit Versa Ruby at Kohl’s. It is the lightest metal smartwatch in the U.S. market, it offers a comfortable design and a new dashboard that simplifies how you access your health and fitness data. In the package, you get the smartwatch, two wristbands (one small and one large), and a charging cable.

The Fitbit Versa Ruby is an all-day health and fitness companion that last 4+ days and uses personalized insights to help reach your fitness goals. To use the watch, you first need to download the free Fitbit app on your smartphone, then sync your watch up to the app via Bluetooth.

The Fitbit Versa Ruby has a lot of great features, but here are a few of my favorite:

• See daily stats, personalized insights, and reminders all in one place
• Get continuous heart rate tracking, follow trends over time and discover your cardio fitness level
• See steps, distance, calories, floors climbed, active minutes and time in different sleep stages
• See call, text or calendar notifications on screen & get push notifications from your favorite apps
• Store and play 300+ songs plus download your favorite stations from Pandora

My workouts are not too strenuous. They typically consist of swimming laps at my brother’s pool or pushing my daughter in her stroller around the neighborhood. I love being able to see my progress throughout these activities, and since the Fitbit Versa is water resistant, I can wear it in the pool. I also like that I am able to swap out the straps for different looks.

In addition to the newly released Fitbit Versa Ruby, Fitbit is also releasing the new Fitbit Charge 3. The Fitbit Charge 3 looks like a tracker but acts like a smartwatch. Like the Fitbit Versa Ruby, it is water resistant, continuously tracks your heart rate and your activity, and connects to your smartphone. Some of its differences include its up to a 7-day battery life and you can make payments from the tracker. The Fitbit Charge 3 should be released soon.
