Peter Drucker once said, \u201cWhat gets measured, gets managed.\u201d Using a small wearable pedometer to track your steps is the best way to manage your fitness level. The three major players in this market are the Nike Fuelband<\/span><\/a>\"\"<\/span>, Fitbit Force<\/a>\"\",\u00a0UP by Jawbone<\/span><\/a>, and\u00a0Fitbit Flex<\/span><\/a>. I went with the Fitbit Flex<\/span><\/a>\"\"\u00a0because of the size and great features. I wear it all the time except when I am in the shower. It is waterproof but I do not like that soap and water can get in the band. I have to plug it into the computer to recharge the battery about once a week. It records every step and is able to track your sleep patterns. It does synchronize with my cell phone and the app \/ online can record your calories. It also allows you to see calorie intake versus calories burned.<\/span><\/h2>\n

I am pleased with the purchase, however it is not perfect. But, until they can invent an implantable device that does not need to be recharged, this will do the trick.<\/span><\/h2>\n
