3037640 slide p 1 the fitbit surge
As recent as a week ago, I got a FitBit Charge, I've been always skeptical about these trackers but it was a gift and I gave it a try. Well, I can say that I got the FitBit Fever, now I'm walking everywhere around! That 10,000 steps mark is my goal everyday! And let's not talk about the Challenges! You can create challenges and invite people to compete with you. I do like PT but this last week I ran more than 15 miles, definitely a personal record. If you ever see a coworker walking in the same place, or walking up and down the hallway, odds are is using a FitBit and is in a Challenge. I used to be a Polar user because of their simplicity but after FitBit, there's nothing that can be simpler than that.

For those who are actively using their FitBits, I just found this group: https://www.fitbit.com/group/228RZQ JOIN US!

Do you have the FitBit Fever? Wich one you use? Do you use any other tracker? Share what you use?

I've used the FitBit Flex for about a year and love it. Thinking about getting the one with the watch (is that the Charge?), but really like the step and calorie tracking feature. In fact, PV2 (Join to see) are FitBit Buddies, as we compete against each other to see who burns the most calories. Lots of fun

SGT(P) (Join to see) - This has to have happened to everyone at least ONCE. Serioiusly thinking of getting the Charge. I mean, if I need to get a new FitBit to replace the old one, may as well get a heart rate monitor and watch too.

My mom bought one of those and loves it. Personally, I like the Nike Sport watch which is better for running.

I used Polar for a long time, my outgoing OIC got me this Charge and I gave it a try and I love it. Besides the tracking, the motivational messages are good.

I have the Charge HR and I love it!! Great way to track your heart rate during workouts. I know its mainly a pedometer, but there are a lot of other functions that make it worth the buy!! I do kind of want one that has its own GPS so I don't have to run with my phone, but other than buying a Garmin watch or something similar the FitBit does the trick!!
