Fitness Friday: Beets BLU Bluetooth Scale Review

For today's Fitness Friday, I am sharing a review of a Smart Scale that I've really come to love! Be sure to check it out and let me know your thoughts in the comments below! :) Happy Friday!



Health and fitness is something that has always ranked high on my list as long as I can remember. Now that I've come full circle with pregnancy, postpartum, and being a new mom, I've learned a few valuable lessons about time management, food preparation, and cutting out the excess. Losing the baby weight has been in the back of my mind since I gave birth to my son and although I don't obsess over my weight or stress over numbers, I do find it interesting.
 
So, when Beets BLU contacted me about doing a review of their Wireless Smart Scale, I immediately said yes!


The first couple of things that impressed me about this scale were the weight of the scale (it's incredibly light weight) and the sleekness of the design. It was also really easy to setup and I love the data it includes in the measurements!

The Beets BLU Bluetooth scale works off an app that's downloaded to your smart device (it works on both android and Apple devices). Requirements: iPhone 4S, iPad 3, Android with OS 5.0 & Bluetooth 4.0 hardware 



After downloading and opening the app, the following prompts are given:


 Once all of the data has been entered, another set of prompts are given:


After stepping on the scale, the first sound alert gives your weight followed by the second sound alert which measures your body composition.  On the scale itself, all that's shown is your current weight. The additional information can be found through the app on your device.

I love all of the data that is given and how your data is stored over time to show your progress! Both Jason and I downloaded the app and are using the scale - I love how our information doesn't get crossed over - my weight/info is recorded in my app and my husband's weight/info is recorded in his app!


I borrowed the above and below images from the app store to show how the Smart Scale not only follows measurements and data over time but also gives graphs and scales to follow your progress!


Madalynn even assisted me with a few positioning/lighting shots...this image was just too funny, I had to share!


(She will do almost anything for a treat!)


Features of the Beets BLU Bluetooth scale include:
  • Lightweight
  • Small in size (fits perfectly in the corner of my bathroom!)
  • Easy setup
  • Sleek design
  • Instant wireless data transfer (the information shows up on your device super fast!)
  • Multiple users
Data collection from the scale include:
  • Weight
  • Fat Percentage
  • Body Water
  • Muscle Mass
  • BMI calculation
Overall, I love this scale and the information it provides! I'm looking forward to using it throughout my upcoming fall training season and hopefully losing the last few pounds of baby weight that's been hanging around!

This smart scale can be purchased from the following locations:
What do you think of the idea of smart scales? Do you own one?

runDisney's Virtual Running Shorts Medals

Over the course of the summer, I participated in runDisney's Virtual Running Shorts 5K series. The series officially ended on June 30th, but medals weren't shipped out until 30 days after the series was complete. Mine arrived at the beginning of August and shame on me...I never shared them on the blog! The medals are beautiful, of a decent size, and very sturdy! I love them!

Here's a recap of the three part series:

The day this box arrived in my mailbox was definitely a happy day!


Inside were two boxes - one with the medals and one with the tumbler!


Like I said before, the medals are gorgeous!!


I've seen two different color tumblers floating around social media - one red and one blue.


As you can see, I received the red one!



 I really did enjoy participating in a little runDisney magic from home! 


See ya real soon? Yes, yes you will! :)


As mentioned before, I did enjoy participating in this event, although I do think runDisney could add a few "extras" next time around. I feel as if I registered for the event, then didn't hear anything from them again until the medals were shipped. Even just a few emails throughout the summer would have been nice! I'd love to see what changes (if any) are made to 2017's event!
