Flipkart: Join The Fit India Movement
Just like any other day, I finished a product shoot, returned home and marched straight to the kitchen to get myself a cup of hot espresso. I don’t know what happened but, soon after, nausea hit me, slowing me down, making me struggle to, even cross the kitchen area. It was as if someone glued my feet to the ground, not allowing me to walk any further. A cold shiver slouched down my spine! Luckily mom was visiting me at my Mumbai home, and she rushed to my rescue instantly, as she sensed something bizarre. Mom helped me to the closest armchair and placed several pillows beneath my head to help me breathe. That helped me relax!
No matter how old you grow, a mother’s compassion surfaces more posthaste in need. She instantly rang my uncle (a doctor) to diagnose what was not yet a vital problem. I, on the other hand, (being a millennial), reached out to my iPad shortly as I regained my senses. Pulling out my iPad from my handbag was my first response to dealing with the problem. Why? Because I have a few health apps installed on my phone and iPad that I think could have helped me run a preliminary diagnosis on my own. I wouldn’t, however, recommend this method to anyone feeling a grave danger to health.
I, first, pulled up a health app that allowed me to measure the heartbeats and blood pressure. The App detected low blood pressure so, I ran the test a few more times. Just, to be sure! Besides, all it took was a few clicks to find out vital information regarding my health. But that didn’t stop my mother from reverifying the blood pressure, yet, once again on Dr Morepen’s BP Monitor that she recently bought from Flipkart. And yes, the device showed pretty much the same results as the health app on my iPad. Only with a slight variation in the numbers!
Nevertheless, the next few minutes were spent, scouring the internet for ‘Ghar Ka Nuskhas’ over a glass of cold skimmed milk. I breathed a sigh of slow relief, thinking about how we lived before we had access to these Smart Apps on our smartphones and tabs? Right remedies may have saved my day in time but, my mother’s growing concern gave me every reason to panic. She continued nagging, “What if you were travelling, shooting, or not at home?” To delimit stress, I began to frantically search for compact fitness equipment on the internet – aspiring to find a permanent game-changer.
The results amazed me! Now, I was grinning at the thought of the revolution that has taken the world by storm. On my screen, I was looking at a series of smartwatches as fitness trackers. However, one search result that instantly caught my attention was the #GetFitWithFlipkart campaign.
I found it very cool to see an online shopping portal driving fitness goals with unmatched zest. The hashtag #GetFitWithFlipkart also introduced me to a panel of marvellous write-ups, insisting on the need of switching to a healthier lifestyle. Sometimes, all you need is someone to constantly, nag you into doing things! And when parents are away, you can rely on some of these fitness apps to get the desired results. With an Apple and Fitbit smartwatch, you can keep away from the phone yet monitor stats. Later you can sync your smartwatch with your phone and transfer the data on Bluetooth.
Fitbit is my personal favourite as their sleek, appealing watches are a delight to carry, and I am also in love with the brand’s Smart premium features. I was happy to find Fitbit listed on Flipkart, as it is one of the most reliable shopping partners. My mother has ordered electronic appliances from Flipkart before, and she is happy with the service. I am more of an Amazon person, however, on this day, I came across some exciting deals on Flipkart and decided to give them a try. Before making a purchase, I learned the difference between Apple and Fitbit and then about Fitbit’s keys to success in taking over fitness.
With no further hesitance, I ordered a Fitbit smartwatch to monitor my daily activities. Including heartbeat, breathing, sleep and everything else contributing to a healthier transition. After a month of using my first Fitbit smartwatch, I have marked a notable change in my lifestyle. My erratic sleep patterns are now regular, leading to more extended daytime activity. That, in return, has upheld my overall health! If you haven’t joined the Fit India Movement by Flipkart as yet – Now is the time!
Who knows what the future would hold but with the right balance of walking and exercising, we can always control a part of our health segment. Together, we can reform the country with a more active and fitness aware population. A humble health issue made me question my lifestyle choices; Big thanks to this digital revolution that has simplified the mundane tasks for the entire family.
