If you are a bit of a tech geek like me, you’ll get addicted to the Jawbone Fitness and Sleep Tracker. This attractive looking wristband tracks not only exercise, but calories burned, and hours slept and can even track your food intake should you care to enter it, which I actually don’t. It also has a “Smart Coach” which offers “Idle Alerts”, so if you set it to go off every hour you are inactive, or whatever time you choose, it will buzz and you can choose to ignore it, or take a lap around the room, fold some laundry, or do whatever it is you do to remain active. The band tracks hours slept and quality of sleep, measuring how often you wake up, how long it takes you to fall asleep and hours of light and deep sleep. Smart Coach learns your habits and gives you personalized suggestions to help you get to bed on time. Smart Alarm™ silently wakes you up at the optimal moment in your sleep cycle—so you feel refreshed.

I’ve had this for a few months now and am thoroughly addicted to getting my steps in, try much harder, and often succeed, at getting enough sleep and pay more attention to how long I sit idle. I’ve lost 10 lbs and counting and much of this I attribute to the constant yellow reminder on my wrist. Plus my alarm is kind now, just a small vibration on my wrist lets me ease out of slumber land! This is one fitness technology you should not do without.

It all syncs with an app on your IOS or Android for on the go tracking.
