It’s not surprising to know that one in six (15 percent) consumers currently use wearable tech. Out of all the various forms of wearable technology available out there, smartwatches and fitness trackers or wristbands stand out as the most popular ones. In fact, wearable technology is a $700 million industry in the form of sports and activity trackers alone. These trackers help you to track your fitness data in a form that’s easy to monitor and pretty accurate as compared to the manual data you’ve been tracking for years. Imagine doing all your daily fitness chores and landing up with an analysis straight away – without you trying to enter all your activities manually on your daily fitness chart.
Wouldn’t it be easier to have such a personalized gym assistant by your side all the time? There’s no denying the fact that fitness trackers make your everyday “staying-fit” journey convenient and hassle-free. So I begin this week with a special roundup on 12 such amazing fitness trackers you could use in your daily life and stay healthy forever. Wearable tech is our near future and it’s time we should try switching to this side of the world sometime soon!

Get up and get moving with vívofit. It’s the only activity tracker with a 1+ year battery life and backlit display.

Research shows prolonged periods of inactivity such as sitting at a desk decreases your body’s production of fat-burning enzymes. You can reverse that effect by taking frequent, short walk breaks throughout your day. And while you might lose track of time and forget to move, vívofit knows.
