I'm currently on 90 days premium free trial. I've been using it for a week and here's what I like and what I think can be improved from fitbit premium.
I like the selections of the workout videos from dumbbell workout to dance cardio and kickboxing. My goal is to exercise 6 days a week for at least 30 mins. The changes in my lifestyle are hopefully become a habit. Unless fitbit changes the exercise videos frequently, in 2-3 months I will find the videos are no longer challenging. what's the plan for fitbit to keep challenging us? I know with HIIT you will always can challenge yourself, but I do not want to feel I'm stuck in a rut doing the same workouts.
Guided programs can be improved towards more varieties from beginners to an advanced level. I find the guided programs are too short (3-weeks max) and the exercise videos are too short <30mins. if you compare with other fitness programs e.g. beachbody programs, 30 day shred, fitbit guided programs are inferior. For beginner maybe it will help but for more advanced users, the guided programs are not challenging enough. Fitbit guided programs should aim at least the same level of what other fitness programs offers. It will make the subscription money worth it.
I also find that fitbit coach running commentary gets repeated in an exercise. This can be quite boring. We need fresh commentary to fight our minds off. Running is 90% mental so it will be great if the running coach designed to overcome mental block. I know I can run full 60 minutes but most of the time my minds will give up first before my body.
Adding success stories of people following fitbit guided program can be a nice addition to motivate people.
I will stay on trial for at least a month and hopefully to reap as much as benefits before the trial period ends.
