Travel Tip: Apps & Gadgets That Track Fitness On the Road
Most of us know how hard it is to maintain healthy habits on the road. That’s exactly why fitness devices have gotten so popular.
With wearable technology, you can track everything including your workout routine, your calorie intake, and other data that can significantly impact your health in the long term.
Gadgets like the Fitbit Charge HR and the Jawbone UP3 are wristbands that will sync with your smartphone.
Why is this so helpful for travelers?
Because these devices can measure everything from how many steps you took running between airport terminals to how many calories were hiding in your room service snack to how much sleep you got in the hotel bed.
If you prefer to avoid the wristbands, your smartphone can also help you track fitness levels.
Runkeeper is a standalone app that logs your activity level and MyFitnessPal tracks both exercise and nutrition.
Sometimes just being aware of what you’re putting your body through makes all the difference.
