That smart watch, or that mobile app, which helps to count the number of steps walked- is it a real personal healthcare need, or a growing fad, fueled by concealed marketing strategies to sell such technologies?
Human body responds best, to gradually built routines. What if a person walks in access, beyond his or her concurrent ability to do so, after being motivated by such gadgets? The results are surely not going to be favourable, or supportive enough to let the person continue on a personal fitness routine like walking.
Checking that monitor frequently, to know how much ‘done today, until now’ can never replace the real thing required.
Walking is the simplest and the most directly ‘felt’ experience for any person, to realize his or her state of physical health. This experience comes with two vital, naturally ‘in-built technologies’ within each one of us:
- Ability to listen to what our body is telling us.
- Ability to build-up tolerance to tiredness, following activities like walking and exercises.
The above two abilities are powerful enough, to help a person realize how much physical activity has been done appropriately for the day, or how much more can be attempted in the next repetition.
The one point to make here is that, to adopt a useful physical health routine, humans simply need to get close to the nature and not to insensitive technologies.
