Put down your potato chips and get fit with Fitbit. The new fitness band, the FitBit-Flex, is an innovative, more modernized way to track your steps, calories burned and distance walked in a day. Wearing this bracelet is a constant reminder and motivator to live a healthier lifestyle.

The Fitbit-Flex is designed to fit comfortably around your wrist; it is made of a flexible, durable elastomer material, meaning it is very comfortable and lightweight. The soft rubber-like material is very casual, making it more convenient and simplistic. In addition, the bracelet comes in many different colors and models.

What is located on the inside of the bracelet is the most important part: the tracking device. The highly accurate tracker is smaller than a quarter and tracks everything from steps taken to calories burned. The tracker is not visible—all anyone can see is the band. This is the most advanced model that people use to motivate themselves to track their progress and be more mindful of their health.

If worn daily, the Fitbit will encourage you to get active and even eat healthier. Writing down everything you eat is proven to make you more mindful about your eating choices. Therefore, using the food log regularly, along with wearing the bracelet is highly recommended. The food log is conveniently on the app and records your daily caloric intake, which could not be any easier.

It is encouraged to download the free app that goes along with the fitness band so you will be able to visually see your progress throughout the day. In addition, the app allows you to log your water intake and exercise, and it can even track your sleeping patterns. A small bracelet like this can do so many things and inspire people to live healthier lives. Using the Fitbit-Flex regularly along with the app will benefit your health tremendously.
