Get fit for the Autumn
Fitbit Ultra Activity Tracker Price: £79.99 With an activity tracker, the whole world is your gym. Bounding up stairs, running for the bus, standing in a queue at the coffee house and chopping onions will all become competitive sports as you try and raise your heart rate and burn those calories. A built-in 3D motion sensor tracks all of your movement, it’s even tracking you when you’re asleep, and uploads the collected data onto Fitbit’s website for your analysis. And the website is really the perfect partner to the activity tracker with its excellent goal centre and food log, and auto-generated graphs. Sleek, small and unobtrusive, the Fitbit activity tracker can be used in daily life and as a complement to any exercise (except underwater activities). The on board pedometer keeps track of those all important steps and, while the claims of the manufacturer that users complete 43% more steps and lose on average 13 pounds may seem a little inflated, there’s no doubting the fitness, and tech, credentials of this little wonder.
