Have you tried a daily fitness tracker yet? If not, you’re missing out on a lot of motivation and stats to help you stay active everyday! I purchased my first fitness tracker 3 years ago and have tried just about every Fitbit model since. This guide will help you to decide which one is best for you.
As a full-time blogger I spend a lot of time at my computer, so having a Fitbit to remind me to exercise has really helped me to get the extra steps and activity that I need each day. Daily fitness trackers also are very motivating! Plus they can even track things like your sleep patterns and calorie intake. Pretty cool, right?
The 2018 Daily Fitness Tracker Guide
Before blogging full-time I was very active, working in the health and fitness industry and blogging for various Spa’s and yoga studios in my spare time. Naturally, I was always exercising and my first Fitbit helped me keep track of everything from my steps to my heart rate. It was super motivating to beat my previous day’s steps!
Once I began blogging full-time, however, I found it even more useful because suddenly I didn’t have to report daily to a gym or yoga studio, so my activity level dropped almost overnight. Yikes! Fitbit to the rescue!! It encouraged me to stay active everyday regardless of my new, 3 second commute from my kitchen to my home office. 🙂
The Best Daily Fitness Tracker
This list will help you discover the best daily fitness tracker for you! Fitness trackers from a few years can be effective, but the newer models offer so much more technology and customizations! I’ve been lucky enough to try a lot of them out, and the one’s listed below are my ultimate favorites, listed by price from low to high. If you don’t see the one you’ve personally been eyeing elsewhere it’s either because I
a) haven’t tried it so I can’t personally recommend it, or
b) I have tried it and wasn’t impressed, so I won’t recommend it.
