87% OF CHICKS DIG IT
This is the best thing for me to motivate my fitness goals!! It is lightweight, you can switch out colours if you want to, and very easy to use! I love the app on my phone, and sync it throughout the day, I have challenges with my mom as to who can take the most steps, and I LOVE the alarm feature, that vibrates to wake you up. I no longer need an alarm clock!!
I was given a Fitbit Flex as a birthday gift. My friend thought it would be a great gift being that I was so into fitness. I was skeptical wondering how this gadget that tracks steps could help when I was already tracking my food and exercise on using a free app on my phone. I downloaded the app to my phone finding it to be a super easy process, even for someone who considers herself to be not technical at all. And I started stepping. You wear the Fitbit Flex as a bracelet on your arm. I hardly noticed it there at all. And to help you along if you're a fashionista, the latex bands that hold the device come in a variety of colors and patterns so that you can switch them up to match your outfits. If you want to get super fancy, some third party vendors even sell decorative costume jewelry bracelet or necklace holders. The Fitbit Flex helped me to notice that although I was exercising a few times a week, I wasn't really moving much at all the rest of the time, especially while I was at work. I started to compete with myself using the Fitbit to compete with my self and really increased my physical activity. You can give it a gentle tap and the display will give you an indication as to how close you are to reaching your daily goal. And in addition to tracking your steps, it also tracks your sleep! Another great feature is that it could connect to the app that I was already using on my phone and supplement the activities that I was already tracking. But, the Fitbit app allows you to connect and compete with friends and wage friendly competition. The app also tracks your progress and gives you "badges" when you meet certain daily and overall thresholds. I definitely recommend the FitBit Flex!
t's amazing, specially if you're someone that is not very active, for example I am very sedentary, I work at an office, so having FitBit Flex actually encourages me to take the stairs and reach my goal of the day!
Customer Service is great! I'm still getting used to the tracking as I wear it on my dominant hand, sometimes it tells me I'm sleeping for 1hr and sometimes for 29hrs (I wish!)
This little device gives me extra motivation to get my butt in gear. The best part is that you can add friends and set up competitions. I am a very competitive person so this is a healthy way to be motivated. I work on my feet at the hospital too. Some days are crazy! I like to be able to gauge how busy my day actually was by checking my steps. I don't think it is very accurate at tracking the quality of sleep though.

I'm absolutely loving fitbit. I have the fitbit flex and it's easy to wear and use through the whole day. I'm able to tract my steps, distance, sleep and water intake (the main things I use it for). I like how you're able to set goals and it tells you how close you are to achieving it - therefore it's highly customizable. The only issue I have with it, is that sometimes the slightest arm/wrist movement causes the pedometer to count it as a step.
I really enjoyed this thing. I used it for 2 weeks straight, walking as much as I could until I met my minimum goal but it eventually the excitement of it was lost and it sits on the my stove....doing nothing. I love how it pairs with your app and updates everything for you, I just kept forgetting to charge it and put it back on. I'm also so lazy these days that I gave up on trying to become fit anymore :).
It's definitely a great tool to have to help you understand how much you walk and the quality of your sleep, in so many ways.
Although it only comes in a few basic colors, there are lots of places on the net that give you the option to have funky colors and unique options.
This is something that REALLY motivates you, especially when paired with the visuals from the app that show you how much you have done so far and how much you have left to do!!! This really got mo moving and wanting to hit all the goals that I made for myself!
