However, what if you are one of the people who gets a better workout when you have a partner to work out with? Well, you guessed it… There‘s an app for that too! There are apps out that there that will inform your workout partners of the status of your workout or exercising activities. One of our co-workers has the Fitbit®. Fitbit® is a device that she wears on her arm that tracks all of her steps etc. When she was first telling me about it, my reaction was “Whoo Hoo.. a $100.00 pedometer, the dollar store has those”. My point of view changed when I researched it and found out what all it can do. This particular device can connect to an app on your phone or mobile device via Bluetooth or wifi. It can track your steps, sleep habits, calories, plan out meals, monitor weight loss or gain, track calories and much more. The neatest thing about this is that you can connect it to your workout partner. My co-worker has a sister that lives in another state. They both have the Fitbit® and are connected on it. They can see each other‘s work out routines and other information that they choose to share with each other. I remember a couple weeks or ago when she got the “you need to walk more” call from her sister. The nicest thing about these apps, whether you use Fitbit® or another app, is that they are all relatively inexpensive if they cost anything at all. You do not need to be a tech guru to figure out how to use it, either. They are great tools to help you monitor your fitness habits. There is only one downfall that I have seen so far though… It will not spot you on weight lifting or stand over you yelling “one more set, come on, you can do it, one more set”. So in essence it really cannot fully replace your workout partner, but it can help them monitor your progress on your non-gym days. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! See you in 2014! News From Inside Your Dental Plan A Holiday Message From C.J. Parker Jr., C.E.O.As we approach the end of 2013 we let it go with mixed feelings. For many people 2013 has brought somewhat of an economic recovery and a new hope for the future. We hope this has been the case for you! Others, however, have had a very tough time this year and can‘t wait for 2013 to be over.I‘m not going to sit here and try to paint a pretty picture of 2013 and Savon Dental Plan for you. The past three years have been very difficult for our dental plan and the new Affordable Care Act isn‘t helping matters at all! This is the most confusing legislation that I have seen in many years and judging by the reaction, or lack thereof, by our members, you are likely just as confused. That said, there are a couple of things I would like to point out that many of you may not be aware of. Under this new act most insurance companies are offering some sort of dental coverage. The new law requires that pediatric dental be included in the policy. The law does not require dental to be included for adults, so insurance companies are offering it as an add-on. The cost of the dental coverage can raise your premiums; the benefits are no better and in most cases they are less than the benefits of dental plans like Savon. The most important thing to remember about dental insurance is that the new rules affecting pre-existing conditions only apply to health insurance, not dental. Dental insurance still has pre-existing condition riders, waiting periods and maximum yearly benefit limits. I would like to personally thank every member of Savon Dental Plan for the trust and loyalty you have shown to us and our providers. I am especially honored to mention the following people that have been members of our plan for 20 years or more. I am listing only the primary members, so please know that all spouses and dependents are appreciated as well!
From Savon Professional Services Inc., and Savon Dental Plan, we send the warmest wishes to all members of the Savon family for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Successful New Year. Crazy, Zany Facts We Bet You Didn't Know
