If you are really into Fitness Training, a Fitbit can help you to stay motivated by tracking your progress. It can also be linked to your PC, and Cell Phone..

Suggestion for those having issues with the FitBit Flex - if, for some reason, the Flex isn't connecting with the wristband, remove the bit and put it in your pocket. It'll register the steps taken. Just don't forget where you put the thing. SECOND - FitBit is great at replacing defective units, broken straps, etc, and they'll send the replacement out free (my favorite price). You'll have it in a week or so

1SG Michael Blount my Charge's battery was draining too fast and because of my syncs they proved there was a problem. I got my new one in 3 days, no charges or whatsoever. GREAT service!

I use the Map My Run app on my phone, but I haven't looked much into the fit bit. Does it track anything more than the normal stuff during run/bike rides? (I.e. heart rate, time, distance, elevation, etc)

As I remember, sir, the FitBit Flex just keeps track of steps, calories - the basics. Things like FitBit Charge and the upper end stuff will give you all the information you want and sing a tune, too.

I'd caveat that saying that if you're really into fitness training you probably don't need the fitbit to keep you motivated ;).

I actually think there is a huge use and market for them however, and have considered getting one myself. I also realized iphones have a built in similar tracking mechanism recently though.

Us old guys need to be motivated LCDR. The Fitbit helps sometimes. The spirit is willing but the old Bod is not on some days..
