Feel Fit in 2015

Most of us have either started our New Year's resolution to get fit, but some may still be on the fence. At TELUS, the focus for 2015 is Fitness. Here are some great apps that can help you kick your butt into shape:

Fitbit

 With the use of any Fitbit device, the Fitbit app can track distance, steps, floors climbed, calories burned, food/water intake and sleeping patterns. Use this app to challenge your friends to a walk off and get badges for achievements. Fitbit keep you motivated all day long.

My Fitness Pal

 My Fitness Pal is the most popular app n the market for tracking your meals. Use the barcode scanner or enter your foods in manually. The catalogue on the app is quite extensive, even including franchise restaurant nutritional information. You'd be surprised to see how many calories are in a Non-Fat Frap! My Fitness Pal also tracks your daily exercise and deducts those calories from your daily goal. If you have iPhone, the app will input this information into HealthKit to give you an idea of the different nutrients you are consuming (protein, sodium, fats).

 Need some motivation to get up and go for a run? The Zombie, Run app tracks your run, but also doubles as a mission to save the human race.

Thumbs Up, Phones Down

During this upcoming holiday season we are reminded to be careful on the roads, this starts with putting our 100% focus on what’s in front of us. TELUS and KELCOM have partnered with the WISE program to remind our customers and local communities of the danger of distracted driving. Did you know that drivers engaged in text messaging on a cellular phone are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near crash event compared with non-distracted drivers? There is one person injured in a distracted driving accident every 30 mins in Canada. These numbers are staggering and should be taken seriously. We’ve all done it; sending text messages, changing music, sending Snapchats while in the car. I know what you’re going to say, “I only do it at stop lights”. Well here’s some legal facts about distracted driving in Ontario that you might be surprised by: It doesn’t matter if you’re on a highway or stopped at a red light - distracted driving could cost you.

How To Tell If Your Smartphone Is Virus Infected

I often have customers come in to the store with the fear that their smartphone has been compromised by malicious software.

iPhone 5c in Review

I know it's been a while since the release of the iPhone 5c and 5s, but I finally had a chance to get one in my hands and try it out. I am 100% with you when people say "It's the same phone" and for the most part you are right. I decided to challenge myself to see what is the different between the iPhone 5c and its predecessor the iPhone 5. I won't go over the obvious similarities such as processors, screen size, etc, however I will go over the main differences that benefit myself and may benefit you as well. Materials One of the most controversial changes to the iPhone, the plastic backing. People joke that the iPhone 5c is a iPhone 5 with plastic melted on the back. I assure you, the shape of the back is different, more rounded and most importantly lighter. This isn't the same plastic that your rubbermaid containers are made of, this is polycarbonate plastic. This is the same material that is used in bulletproof glass and the cock pit of large pl...
