If you’re looking for a tool that helps keep you on track with your exercise and healthy routine, chances are you’ve looked at the Fitbit. With several models to choose from, there’s a Fitbit for you. And the good thing is they help you in many different ways.
What are some of its best features?
Functionality
The Fitbit was designed with exercise in mind. That makes it continually rise to the top when comparing it to other makes and models, like the Apple Watch. Fitbits have longer battery life, which can be a big deal if you’re training for a marathon. Many also prefer the sleek style, which is smaller than other health trackers.
Connection
By using the Fitbit app, you’ll never train alone. You’ll have a virtual built-in community you can take with you no matter where you go. You’ll have a choice of many different fitness groups - from swimming to yoga, to hiking or strength training - and you can get advice as well as find new friends to train with you.
Motivation
Some days you can’t wait to hit the gym. Some days, you have a hard time getting off the couch. The Fitbit community has motivation for whatever day you’re facing. You can use one of their motivational playlists to hit the streets, or try a Fitbit workout in the convenience of your living room. The best part is you choose what’s right for you.
Sleep
Getting enough sleep is the new priority. And Fitbit can help you with your sleep goals. Start tracking your sleep patterns and Fitbit can make recommendations based on your needs. You can use it to determine how much far to push yourself in the gym - poor sleep could mean weaker muscles and a more difficult time to push towards your goals. Fitbit also provides bedtime reminders to help you stick to your goals.
Nutrition
Your health routine isn’t just exercise alone. That’s why it’s easy on your Fitbit to track both your water intake as well as what you eat. It can show you what you’re taking in and what changes you can make to tailor your intake for your goals. Sometimes seeing it in black and white can help you make changes faster than if you simply guess at the process. And if you’re trying to lose weight, there’s an app for that too. Fitbit can help you measure your weight, calculate BMI, and make suggestions for ways to burn more calories.
