Fitbug fitness exercise and health monitoring in the UK.

Fitbug is a unique online ‘health & wellbeing’ coach that uses ‘The Bug’ - the 1st interactive pedometer to send member activity levels to our experts, who set realistic, weekly activity & nutrition targets to help members achieve their personal goals.

Fitbug is far more than a pedometer, it is a lifestyle choice. You'll use the Bug (a highly accurate interactive pedometer) to monitor every step that you take, but you'll also be able to log exactly how much additional activity you are doing using our easy-to-use activity tracker. Each week you will br set gradually increasing activity targets which you can achieve through steps from the Bug or any other activity you participate in. At the same time, Fitbug will encourage you to adopt a healthy diet and, at your request, they will even send you personally tailored healthy eating plans.

It is easy to lose motivation when exercising, but nothing is better for keeping you motivated than seeing your progress - and with Fitbug you'll soon be able to see measurable progress. Plus, to keep you on the right track, Fitbug send you weekly targets to keep on challenging you as well as motivating messages and a weekly newsletter. You'll also have access to multitudes of online features and articles, healthy recipes and a members' forum so that you can share your story.

If you are currently usling a gym, Fitbug will enable you to accurately monitor exactly what exercise you really are doing and encourage you to do more when you can. If the gym is your only activity in an otherwise sedentary life, you could also do with monitoring and increasing the rest of your activity levels. Even if you are already active, Fitbug will enable you to monitor exactly what you are doing, show you what times of the day there is room for improvement and encourage you to increase your activity levels, if appropriate. Alternatively, we can help you to achieve the right balance between your activity levels and your diet.

Because Fitbug is a personal diet and exercise plan, it needs to be tailored to meet your requirements. Therefore, if you are a vegetarian we'll create a plan that conforms to the balance of good health and is suitable for you. We can also build a calorie-calculated healthy eating plan for people with the following dietary requirements: vegan, diabetic, lactose or gluten free.

You can't use Fitbug in the swimming pool. The Bug isn't waterproof and it won't count your swimming strokes. However, that's not to say that you can't record your swimming with Fitbug. All you have to do is log how long you swam for and roughly how hard you worked and Fitbug will calculate a steps equivalent and put it towards your activity target. The online activity tracker also records cycling, skiing, rowing, skating and weight training.

Fitbug can be a great help in losing weight. It was developed by nutrition and fitness professionals to help people to live healthy lifestyles - and a major aspect of a healthy life is maintaining a healthy weight. Fitbug have already helped thousands of members to achieve their weight loss goals by eating a healthy balanced diet and increasing their activity levels. It is designed to help people of all levels to achieve their health and fitness goals - whether that be weight loss (or gain), general fitness or managing a health condition. Because the basic principle of Fitbug is doing what you can, when you can, at your own pace, you should never feel out of your depth. As you get fitter, you'll be able to adjust your intensity accordingly.

The great thing about Fitbug is that it encourages you to make small changes for great health benefits. Rather than suggesting a complete overhaul of your life, you are asked to do what you can when you can - from getting off the bus one stop earlier to walking to colleagues desks rather than emailing them and abandoning lifts or escalators in favour of taking the stairs. It can take as much time or as little time as you have, but if you are really determined to achieve your goals you may be surprised to learn how much time you find to dedicate to it.

You are only an email away from the answer to any health and fitness queries that you might have. The Fitbug activity and nutrition gurus will do their best to respond to any questions you pose as soon as possible and always within 48 hours. You'll also receive a weekly newsletter and regular tips and feedback to help you to achieve your goals. In addition, they have developed an online community, including message boards and success stories, so that you and fellow members can spur each other on to achieve your goals and help each other through the bad times.

If you already have a high level of activity and fitness, Fitbug can still help you maintain and improve your fitness levels. There is a saying that you can't manage what you can't measure. When it comes to exercise that couldn't be truer. People regularly misjudge how much activity they do and it is equally common to underestimate as it is to overestimate. Fitbug will give you all the tools and advice that you need to accurately track both your activity levels and your eating habits. As well as using the Bug to measure any steps that you walk (or run), you can use our online activity tracker to record any additional activity you take part in. You will also receive all the healthy eating guidance you will need, including optional health eating plans or an easy-to-use food log to help you to monitor your balance of good health.
