Today we’re launching our Inheritance Cycle community on Fitbit‘s website! Fitbits are a popular pedometer devices that track various exercise statistics throughout the day! An accompanying Fitbit app syncs your data with your phone and offers the ability to join online communities, where you can compare your exercise with others – and compete!
Our Fitbit community is open to anyone who owns one of the brand’s pedometers! We’ll be running weekly and monthly competitions, rewarding the top performers with various autographed Inheritance Cycle goodies. You can join the action at any point!
Unfortunately, at this time, only those who use Fitbits as a pedometer will be able to participate. Don’t be discouraged if you aren’t able to join our community – there will be many other ways to win signed goodies throughout the year!
If you aren’t already a Fitbit owner but are looking to join us in exercising to win prizes, here’s a rundown of available devices for purchase:
- Fitbit Activity Tracker ($60)
- Fitbit Charge ($70-100)
- Fitbit Flex 2 ($98)
- Fitbit Alta ($129)
- Fitbit Blaze Smart Watch ($198)
Fitbit devices are also available through other retailers and directly from Fitbit’s website.
Here’s how the community and competitions will work:
- Weekly competitions will take place starting on Mondays and ending on Sundays at 11:59pm EST, at which time we’ll award the top three performers with a predetermined autographed goody
- Monthly competitions will begin on the first of each month and will end at 11:59pm EST on the final day of that month, at which time we’ll award the top ten performers with a predetermined autographed goody
- Winners will be announced in a forum thread in our Fitbit group and contacted by an admin to facilitate the delivery of your autographed goody!
- Rewards will change each month! You may only receive a prize for one weekly challenge per month (although you may also receive a prize for a monthly challenge in the same month)
