If there’s one thing I love, it’s gadgets. I especially love geeking out with gadgets that help me with my weight loss and fitness goals. Give me something that beeps, charts, syncs, gives me feedback on my phone, and posts to Facebook, and I’m M-O-T-I-V-A-T-E-D!
I’ve been using a BodyMedia FIT armband for a little over a year now, and it’s my absolute favorite thing. You wear it on your left bicep throughout the day (you can even wear it at night) and it tracks everything from calories burned, to activity and it’s intensity, to steps, and even your sleep. When you plug it in or sync, you see all kinds of graphs and charts and statistics. My favorite feature by far is that you can now your BodyMedia Armband Syncs with your MyFitnessPal accounts. YES! All of my activity transfers right over to my diary, so I don’t have to try to figure out how many calories I’ve burned at bootcamp or on a run!
And a nice bonus: If you happen to have a Withings WIFI scale, (which I do thanks to Withings asking me to review one) you can get all your information synced right into your MyFitnessPal app and BodyMedia dashboard. It’s a blessing and a curse all at once! A blessing because it’s one less number I have to remember because it automatically sends my weight to MyFitnessPal via WIFI. A curse because it automatically sends my weight to MyFitnessPal via WIFI for the world (or at least my followers) to see – which means there is no room for slacking. At all. Say hello to a brand new level of accountability.
So if you’re in the market for a great calorie and fitness tracking device AND an amazing WIFI bathroom scale, be sure to check out BodyMedia armbands, the ones used on the Biggest Loser, and Withings scales. I promise they will satisfy all of your tech-y wants and needs, but will be easy enough for even the least geeky person to use!
