Fitbit Research Papers

After using the Fitbit app for seven days, I decided it is definitely an app I will continue to use. I love the wide range of features it has that track steps, count calories, record workouts, show heartrate, count the amount of steps climbed, track sleep, count the miles walked and Bluetooth connects to my phone to use timers and show phone calls. The app was very easy to use and a great motivator for me to exercise and eat healthy every day. One of my favorite features of the app was the step counter.

I am very impressed in this app and will definitely continue to use it in the future because it helps me live a healthier lifestyle by motivating me to work out and eat
