“10,000 steps to Health”- Redefining Fitness with FITBIT

FLO organised a very interesting panel discussion on a very pertinent topic “Where Does Fitness Fit in, in this Constant Juggling of Work, Family & Friends?” on August 19, 2016. The event was facilitated by FITBIT, an American company dedicated to health and fitness and building products that help transform people’s lives. FITBIT is known for its products of the same name, which are activity trackers, wireless-enabled wearable technology devices that measure data such as the number of steps walked, heart rate, quality of sleep, steps climbed, and other personal metrics.

The Panelists were : Manisha Sood – Country General Manager – Fitbit ; Dr Sanjay Dhawan – Opthalmologist – Max Healthcare ; Dr Deepika Malik – Dietician – Dr Deepika’s Wellness Clinics and Dr Jasjeet Wasir – Diabetologist – Medanta The Medicity.

In her welcome address, FLO President Vinita Bimbhet said that “ Leading a healthy lifestyle seems easier said than done. We all know the importance of healthy living but often tend to ignore it. More so for women, who have multiple roles to play in their lives and as a result are left with negligible time to devote for themselves.”

She added, “The session was a wonderful opportunity to introspect on the lives and lifestyle, which has become a vortex of hectic routines, sedentary ways, high level of stress besides other environmental factors.

A lucky draw was organised for 6 FITBIT bands. FITBIT also offered 20 % discount on their products.

Lipika Sud, Governing Body Member coordinated and anchored the programme.
