So, I was doing my usual Internet search for the latest and greatest in fitness trends when I came across a couple of really interesting posts.
The first article was about a little device called the Fitbit Tracker. This little guy is like the pedometer’s much cooler, much hipper younger brother. The Fitbit Tracker doesn’t just track the number of steps you take in a day, it also keeps track of your sleep patterns (as a new mom, I really need this!), the duration and intensity of your workouts and how many calories you’ve burned in a day.
This thing is so small and it’s sensors are so accurate that you can carry it around in your pocket if you want to, or you can clip it to your shirt or your bra. Regardless of where you put it, the Fitbit continues to record your every move with a pretty high degree of accuracy.
At the end of the day, all you have to do is synchronize your Fitbit with your computer and download all of your information. This is a great way to track energy spikes and lulls throughout your day. It’s also a good way to determine whether you’re getting quality sleep at night.
It actually tracks your sleep time, how many times you wake up in the night, how long you remain awake during the night and how much time you spend lying in bed, not sleeping.
Hey, I haven’t tried it yet, but I know what’s going on the top of my birthday wish list for this year. After all I’m a gadget freak and any excuse I have to acquire a new gadget, I’ll jump at. Not to mention, who wouldn’t want their own personal sleep study conducted every night?
Who wouldn’t carry a miniature personal trainer around in their pocket all day to help keep their diet and exercise plan on track? I know I would!
Check back with me in a couple of months and I’ll tell you how the Fitbit really works once I’ve tried it out for a while.
