The Fitbit Zip may appear odd at first, as the pedometer design has evolved into the wrist-based activity trackers we see today, but there are many people who prefer the clip-on devices. A pedometer is an electronic device that counts how many steps you walk based on the motion of a person’s body. They started as small devices you could clip on to items of clothing, but as technology has improved and become more compact, it has been included in other devices such as the Fitbits seen in this book.

The thin wirstband can perform all of the monitoring functions of other Fibit models, such as counting steps and tracking sleep. You may be surprised to learn that despite not having a screen, it can still display call and text notifications. The bands Each Flex 2 comes with two bands: small and large, so no matter what size your wrist is, there will be one band that will fit you. The fitness tracker itself is a small device no…

For some of us, the hardest part of keeping fit is finding the motivation. The Alta was designed to be a fitness motivator as well as a tracker. If, for whatever reason, you’re not as active as you should be, the Fitbit will vibrate ten minutes before the hour to let you know how close you are to reaching your hourly step goal. Reaching the goal is as simple as getting up and walking – there’s no need to navigate menus looking for the exercise option. As soon as you start to move, the Alta will detect this and begin monitoring your steps, distance and calories burnt.
