Children, like adults, need help to motivate them to do things they don’t want to do unless you make it fun and rewarding. It’s also true that most kids love ‘gadgets’ with buttons, especially technological ones.

MYTRAK provides a weight loss and activity system that works because it involves all of these things and more to keep motivation ongoing:

Engaging and fun - a small portable feedback computer called an M² Personal Smart Coach that monitors and analyzes their daily physical activity

Constantly providing feedback - in order to keep children motivated to stay focused on their daily goals, instant feedback is given at the touch of a button.

Interactive - computer programs show children exactly what their increased activity is doing for their heart, their calorie burning and how close they are to achieving their overall goals.

Rewarding - children and their parents can use our point system to reward positive results along the way - further encouraging positive lifestyle changes

Increasing activity is only part of the solution, eating well is the other part that plays a large role in achieving a healthy weight. MYTRAK offers online programming to show children what they are eating, what they should be eating, and gives children and parents a nutritionally balanced plan to follow based on the unique needs and goals of their child.

At the end of the day instead of asking your child ‘how was your day?’, you can sit down with them at the computer, upload all the data their M² has collected to the MYTRAK community, and see exactly how their day really was!

You or your child can enter what they ate during the day and see how they did on that side of the equation as well to get a complete picture of how healthy their day was and how they are progressing overall.
