DITCH THE FLOWERS AND GIVE YOUR MUM THE GIFT THAT ‘FITS’ INTO HER LIFE THIS MOTHER’S DAY
For a personal gift that will benefit your mum for life, ditch the flowers and look no further than the Garmin vívofit fitness band, priced from £99.99 at Halfords.
Vívofit follows the activity of busy mums, establishes their current levels of physical activity and sets attainable daily goals that ‘fit’ with their routine – helping them towards a healthier lifestyle whilst recognising how much they already do.
Featuring a unique, curved display that always stays on, the activity tracker measures everything from the number of steps you have taken and the distance you have covered to the calories you have burned – and all while sitting comfortably on your wrist.
Lucy Moore, from Halfords, says: “Fitness and well being is becoming increasingly important to women but is often difficult to monitor for busy mums who usually don’t have a moment to spare. Vívofit allows you to maintain a healthy lifestyle by tracking your movement and providing manageable targets.”
Users can track progress by wirelessly syncing vívofit with Garmin Connect – Garmin’s online community – where you can share your improvement with your friends or keep it just for you.
Lucy added: “It’s lightweight and waterproof design means that you can wear it just about anywhere - even in the shower – making it ideal for busy mums who want to keep fit and healthy while they are out on the move every day.”
The fitness band also displays the time and can even monitor the quality of your sleep – and with batteries that last for a year, you don’t need to worry about recharging it.
The Garmin vívofit is available online at Halfords.com.
Garmin vívofit’s features include:
- Personalised daily goals
- 24/7 wearable and waterproof soft band
- One year battery life
- Display showing: time, steps, distance, calories and how you are progressing towards your daily goal
- Compatible with a heart rate monitor

Wireless sync with Garmin Connect for a complete overview of progress.
