Activity Trackers
Watch this postI want something that makes me get up and move about. I've been looking at these activity trackers but they track too many activities for what I need. Does anyone use one of these and how do you find it? I want something to remind me to move, track my sleep pattern, count my walking steps and monitor my heart health. I don't need swimming, running, cycling, jogging or gym activities.

It also checks heart rate, sleep pattern and you can add food intake which is helpful if you want to loose/gain weight. You get extra calories for exercise completed.
It's got no frills - just tells you how much you've been active and sleeping, but one thing I really like about it a lot is that it tells you how long you've stayed out of the house, which is probably more important to me than the steps!
I tried the Samsung Health tracker but it was really too complicated with way more things than I wanted... but I do still think waterfall's right - the best way to keep fit, whether tracking or not, is dancing!
