1st review: The fitbit

My review on the fitbit. The fit bit is an advance pedometer. I briefly owned the bodybugg but after an allergic reaction to the sensor on the armband I returned it and purchased the fitbit. I have now been wearing it for about 30 days and I love the way it gets me moving. I was surprised the lack of steps I take each day and I have been trying to increase it each week. I have worn it and counted the steps and it is very accurate. I also compared the amount of calories burned per workout with the same numbers on the bodybugg and they are very close. With the price difference I would definitely recommend the fitbit.

Features I Like:
You can start a counter to track your sleep and view your sleeping patterns and see how well you are sleeping.It will show how long it took to go to sleep, how many times you woke up, how long you were in bed and how much sleep you actually got and then if gives you a sleep efficiency %.
You can start a counter for activities and then record them on the free website to track how many calories you burnt in that activity.
You Clip it any where on your torso.
It automatically updates the website anytime you are within 15ft of the  base through bluetooth technology.
The website is free. You can purchase a premium package if you are some one who want graphs to look at.
The charge lasts about 7 days.
