Fitness trackers like Fitbits and countless others seem to be all the rage lately. The watch-like style of devices like these, paired with apps for simple smart phone access make it easy for anyone to easily track progress towards their fitness goals. You can spot these trackers everywhere—at the gym, on the track, walking down the block. People even track the number of steps they take in their normal daily routine. Small talk now regularly includes talk about the number of steps people “get in” during an average workday.

These devices are gaining popularity with good reason. Their small size and personalized results, synchronized to your body, make them a great answer to the age old question: how we balance a daily life of work and family and chores with attainable healthy habits. Thanks to the variety available, people are able to monitor sleeping patterns, eating habits, daily physical activity and more. From setting personalized goals, to seeing your progress in real time, to monitoring your own health, these devices are revolutionizing fitness journeys.
