Staying Fit on the Road: Keeping Fit and Healthy While Travelling

by Tazim Damji

How to stay healthy when travelling

Travel tends to throw some people out of whack. Maybe it’s because you can’t follow your normal daily routine while you’re on the road.

How are your Health & Fitness Goals Coming Along?

by Tazim Damji

think happy thoughts

I've been eating a lot better since moving here from Vancouver—mostly because there is a full-sized kitchen to use. I have also been using my Ozeri 4x3motion Digital Pocket Pedometer to track the number of steps I take daily. My goal is to take 10,000 steps per day, which I am generally successful with—mostly, I take many more steps than that!

I've had so many major life changes last year that I've been forced to think about where I want my life to go, what I like and don't like and everything in between. I'm physically in a place I never imagined myself being again—in my old hometown, and Greg's birthplace of Calgary, Alberta. There isn't any point regretting the decision to move here; I want to just make the best of it . I am going to be focusing a lot ...

Ozeri 4x3motion Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer Review

by Tazim Damji

I've mentioned before that since moving somewhere that actually has a winter, I've been having a hard time getting myself to get up and go out there for a run—but recently, Tazim picked up an Ozeri 4x3motion Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer. It was supposed to go in my stocking, but like the bad boy that I am, I wheedled my way into early access—and I'm glad I did. I've used a simple keychain-fob style pedometer from in the past—we liked it well enough but wondered what we'd get if we spent $5 ...
