What Are Fitness Trackers? And Do You Really Need One?

Summary: Fitness trackers are popular tools that help you monitor your daily activity and heart rate. While heart rate tracking is usually accurate, other features like body fat estimates are just guesses. You don't have to be a gym expert to use one. They are great for reminding you to move and helping you reach the recommended 150 minutes of exercise each week. Just remember, a tracker can't do the work for you—you have to actually wear it, keep it charged, and get moving!
