Earlier this week I posted about self-competition and how I keep myself motivated with my new favorite fitness gadget.
Thanks to my partnership with Verizon Health and Fitness Voices, I have the opportunity to offer one of you a fitness gadget of your very own – UP by Jawbone!
UP by Jawbone is a revolutionary system composed of both a {very cute} wristband and a smartphone app.
The system is designed to easily fit into your life as it tracks your sleep, movement, and nutrition – all the while offering personalized insights to help you stick to (and ultimately reach) your goals.
Because the wristband is designed to be worn 24/7, it is small, flexible, and comes in a variety of colors to fit your preferences.
FEATURES:
- up to 10 days of battery life – wear this 24/7 without the need to constantly charge!
- tracks sleep and activity using sensor technology
- you play your part by logging what you eat into the complementary app!
- UP gives you personalized insights as you strive to reach goals!
- smart alarms wake you up gently
- idle alerts to offer reminders to get moving and stay active!
It is compatible with the following phones/software:
- iOS devices 5.1 or greater
- iPhone 3GS or later
- iPod Touch 3Gen or later
- iPad
- Android
Sounds pretty amazing, right?
Interestingly, right after I starting using my Fit Bit One – a friend of mine showed me his UP wristband. We compared features, size, and ease of use and came to the conclusion that both are fabulous gadgets that truly help keep you motivated and accountable when striving to live a healthy lifestyle.
