Fitbit

This might include calories burned, heart rate, and similar aspects of your personal health. Should you get one? Actually, this is a great beginner gadget for getting in shape. Anyone can use it, even those who are not serious fitness fanatics. And because of its popularity and widespread use, you can generally find one for a relatively decent price.
Trace
The Trace is similar to a Fitbit, but it’s intended for people who are into slightly more extreme sports. So you'll want to already be an active person to get the most good from this little gadget. But it can incorporate a ton of fun workouts that you never thought about before. Love skateboarding? The Trace will help track your workouts. It also works for activities like skiing, surfing, and snowboarding. To make it work, you simply attach it to your workout item, i.e., your skateboard, and then go about your business.
Smart Sock
The Smart Sock is a great choice for those who love to run. This sock pulls information from your ankles to give you information about your body during your run. When you download the information, it can even give you tips for how to improve your running performance. And if you’re worried about the potential stink of a gadget that goes on your foot, just know that this particular gadget is washing machine friendly.
