Why Should You Use a Fitness Tracker?

A big part of being and staying healthy is keeping track of what you are doing each day. While we've historically had to rely on our minds and memory to stay on top of our daily activities and make changes when, and where, needed, we can now leverage technology to give us a hand! Using a fitness tracker can help boost your health, and we'll explain more about the benefits below.

Improve Motivation

Using a fitness tracker can help improve your motivation to take actions to stay healthy each day. The ability to track your progress can help you create a feedback loop where you build on health improvement each day!

Helps Stay Accountable

It's really easy to make excuses to avoid exercise and activity. When we know that we are accountable for our choices, we may have more incentive to make good ones. Using a fitness tracker can help with accountability because it tells you exactly what you have done each day, there's no excuses or cutting corners!

Tracks Important Health Indicators

Whether we are healthy or have a medical condition, staying on top of things like our heart rate and blood oxygen level can help us understand how we are doing physically, let us know if anything is off, and indicate a change needs to be made.

In terms of which fitness tracker we recommend, we really like the Fitbit Versa 2 Health and Fitness Smartwatch with Heart Rate, Music, Alexa Built-In, Sleep and Swim Tracking, available on Amazon!
