Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a device, system, and method for helping people to be more fit by tracking their activity levels. This helps to motivate them to exercise more and improve their overall well-being.

Problems solved by technology

However, improved fitness typically requires a user to understand the different aspects of exercise, and to dedicate him or herself to tasks the user finds unpleasant, or at least very inconvenient.
However, because each of these types of fitness is affected by age, inactivity, and like factors, it is typical that the users who would benefit most from each time of exercise, i.e., those over 30 years old and those who are currently inactive, are also those who deem themselves to busy for the typically prescribed exercises, or too sedentary to begin the prescribed exercises.
This understanding of most users regarding how to improve fitness is incorrect.
However, the available art fails to give the average user the option to monitor activity by time as a way of improving fitness.
