Ever hear someone say they’re trying to get their steps in? A wearable fitness tracker, like a band or smartwatch, can help monitor how many steps you’ve taken in a day, along with a few other things.
Most fitness trackers can monitor your activity level, tell you how many calories you burned in a workout, remind you to stand up and more. Some are even designed to track more complex things, like heart rate, stress, respiratory patterns, sleep habits and blood oxygen level.
Fitness trackers are also great for gaining better insight into your workouts. You can set fitness trackers to analyze your heart rate and calories burned by a specific activity, like running, walking, cycling, swimming or high intensity interval training. This will help the tracker provide more accurate readings.
Oh, and one more thing — make sure your fitness tracker is waterproof or at least water-resistant. You never know where your workout will lead you!
It’s important to remember that measuring every single metric perfectly is near impossible. But that’s not the goal of a fitness tracker. You should use your tracker as an aid to monitor movements and take steps (pun intended) towards your personal fitness goals.
