I started using the DirectLife Activity Monitor and Program during the Bas van Goor Foundation’s Atlas Challenge and it’s changed my life.

 

All the participants of the Atlas Challenge 2010 received the DirectLife Activity Monitor in January 2010. I immediately started using mine the next day. During the first week I checked how many calories I burned every day. It was really exciting because you saw yourself burning more calories each day. You burn more calories by being more active. My experience is the more you move, the better you feel, mentally as well as physically. The DirectLife Activity Monitor motivated me to move more and more. Once you get used to being active, you love the feeling.

 

I used the DirectLife Activity Monitor with the Dr. Frank diet that’s very popular in the Netherlands right now. I lost 12 kilos/25 pounds in the first 8 weeks and felt great the whole time. After discussing it with my doctor, I stopped taking my diabetes medicine for the first time in 20 years.

 

I must mention the fantastic feedback I got from my personal coach. She kept an eye on my progress and worked with me to keep my targets realistic but challenging. Having a coach to guide this kind of process and give advice is extremely valuable. I also really enjoyed having two employees of the company that makes the DirectLife Activity Monitor spend a weekend with us to hear about our experiences with the product.

 

I’ve been using the DirectLife Activity Monitor for about six months now. The monitor itself is less important than the way it motivates you to reach your goals. Although it doesn’t talk, it keeps reminding you to be more active. Talking about being active isn’t always effective but wearing a small device like this makes a big difference. It becomes so important to become more active! The DirectLife Activity Monitor is small and easy to wear. It quickly becomes a part of your routine. If I leave it at home by accident, I miss it the rest of the day.

 

You don’t need to have diabetes to benefit from this product. Everyone interested in improving their health can benefit. A number of friends and acquaintances have followed my advice and bought their own DirectLife monitors and activity programs. They’re just as satisfied as I am.

 

Nothing is better than good health! Thanks to the Bas van Goor Foundation I’ve been able to use this fantastic product and improve my health.
