Fitgen’s Smart Activity Tracker

Staying fit has become a popular jargon nowadays in the wake of increasing awareness on the advantages of leading a fit lifestyle. It is, however, a fact that while people are aware, they lack action to make it a reality. There remains a thin line to step to the other side, which many are not able to cross in the absence of ​'motivation and willpower’.

If you too have been struggling to bridge this fine gap, Fitgen has a solution in the form of its first-of-its-kind activity tracker, namely ‘Trek’, that not just makes you keep yourself fit, but also take care of your loved ones. The Fitgen device and its app help you connect with friends, family members and build fitness communities of preferred members wherein each one of them can track the activities of others and create challenges to tap onto the competitive spirit.

As it easily makes people measure their performance and compare it with that of others round-the-clock, the Fitgen product acts as a perfect ‘Motivator, Enabler and Companion’. Besides providing for the fun to connect with friends and family members for fitness sake, daring them and beating challenges together, the very important aspect it touches is of pushing the motivation level of people and keeping it intact.

“We realized that people in the initial phase are full of energy and are enthusiastic about their fitness programs and plans, but as time passes this seems to die down. Everything comes back to square one, resulting in the fitness resolutions to fall flat. After going deep into the reasons for the failure of sticking to the plans, we concluded that just motivation is not enough. We realized that what we cannot measure we cannot control. We also realized that when people worked together, the success rates were higher. We then thought of creating a product that addresses these issues. Our product helps you measure your activity and drives the motivation levels of people, while providing companionship in their goal to stay fit. With Fitgen one not only takes care of oneself, but also of their near and dear ones,” said Mr Anurag Malhotra, Chief Executive Officer, Fitgen Solutions.

The Fitgen device can be synchronized with the Fitgen app that can be downloaded on any phone supporting iOS or Andriod. All the data the activity tracker captures keeps getting updated on the app. The information is available on the wearable device as well and can be viewed any time. However, for detailed information, one can check the app and even create the profile page containing all information on oneself. People can feed details about the food consumed or to be consumed and measure the intake of calories and how much the body needs to burn to stay fit.

The device is fed with the goal of attaining 10,000 steps a day as it is believed that these numbers of steps are ideal to stay fit, though one can very well go beyond the figure. Not just steps, the tracker takes into account various movements of a person and accordingly makes him indulge in more activities. There are availability of graphical representation of the activities one takes for easy deciphering of numbers.


Unlike foreign-made devices, the Fitgen app has in-built Indian food menu, spanning from North to South India and from West to East India, along with continental delicacies for calculation of calories consumed.

Besides, Fitgen device users can send each other requests and add more people to create a community. With the help of the leader dashboard on the app, they can keep an eye on others’ performance and stay motivated. In a group, people can create challenges and dare others to achieve them. Fitgen device users also receive regular notifications on the percentage of goals achieved to keep people motivated at all times.

With your companion and motivator on your side, take the path of keeping yourself fit, alone or with others, as you like it! Connect with us on www.fitgen.in

Top 10 Fitness Tips for Working Women

Perhaps there is no other role that is more challenging than to be a working women, and managing family, children, husband and in-laws. Working women live double the age, working at home and at office. This is no ordinary task, getting lost in the responsibilities at the office and at home, they hardly take care of themselves and their health.

They are so exhausted at the end of the day that they don’t even feel like taking their food; forget about taking care of health. But when we start neglecting our health and do not take food in time, do not rest properly, we have to give more time to run around hospitals and have to be prepared to take pain.

So, though it is nearly impossible, we have to take charge of our own health and fitness. Below mentioned are some of the ways that can help us stay fit and healthy.

1. Make sure that you take a balanced diet and not ‘anything’. It is very important that there are required levels of vitamins and minerals in the diet to help you stay physically and mentally active during the whole day.

2. For working women it is not always possible to take packed lunch from home. If there are canteens in the working place they usually prefer eating there. But this is not good for health in a long run. Homemade food is best for health.

3. Good and sound sleep is a must if you want to stay fit and healthy. Make sure that you have at least six hours of sleep, as it boosts your immune system and improves the health of the heart.
4. Most of the working women get used to drinking more than four cups of coffee reasons may vary but the point is that drinking too much of coffee is not at all good for health. So make sure that you stick to only two cups of coffee.

5. If it is not possible for you to do some exercise during the week days, try some work out during the week ends. Ask your physical trainer as to what kind of exercises help you to stay fit and active and follow them.

6. Spare some time for yourself daily, at least half to one hour. Spend that time alone or in meditation as this will help you to recharge and will make you feel better and active.

7. Most of us it is habit that unless and until we have a problem we don’t go to a doctor. But to stay fit and healthy, it is very important that we go for a complete health check up at least once a year.

8. Make it a habit to take at least one fruit every day, preferably seasonal fruits and if not anything else one banana or apple a day, as they say to keep the doctor away.

9. Water occupies a major portion of our body, so if you want to stay active and healthy, you should make it a habit to take lot of water.

10. As far as possible try avoid taking frozen foods and beverages. Instead take fresh fruit juices, salads and sprouts.
Follow these tips and stay active and fit.
