There are always changes in the fitness world.

New age technology has given way, and they are


now called wearable fitness trackers. These are the little gadgets tracking your activity that you
can wear on you almost every day. What are the exact benefits of Fitness Trackers for you?
Let's look at the pros and cons of wearable tech!

Pros
Our Stationary behaviour covers everything that we do while sitting. These activities fall into
the low energy category. It's unique from our physical activity. In other words, you can go to
the gym for a 2-hour long period every day, and still involve in a serious level of sedentary
behaviour, and it affects your health, and it is directly involved in the activity you do. Sitting has
become a major portion of our lives. Therefore, your fitness wearable's reminder feature is
absolutely necessary, and it helps you to move then and there.

Fitness tracking is a vital part of progress. It is not enough to remember how many times you
worked out or you went to the gym. You also need data to derive inferences and improve.

Your fitness tracker will automatically record the necessary facts and figures. The received or
tracked activity log will be more consistent than anything. You will be able to finally see the true
results and there is a large scope of improvement when using these trackers.

Wearable Fitness Trackers will give a reality check of your real activity level. Even if you feel
more active at times, you might get astonished by what your tracker has to say. It is a great way
to see your current step and alter your habits accordingly. As a result, your health awareness
will get increased.

Cons
Sometimes what drives one person can discourage another. For someone, really seeing it right
in their face can put stress on them. We speak about knowing that wearable technology is not
determining your fitness level or your health level but simply giving you a concrete way to see
your effort. So, people should have an awareness of what their heart rate is, but not to rely on
it so much that they miss the sight of how they are feeling while they are doing the work,
because that is the most important indicator of how you are doing on the whole.

It's really simple to get obsessed with performance. Your fitness tracker will not support but
even make this worse. Once you see numeric data, you might get preoccupied with it. Aiming to
enhance your performance is not an issue, but losing the joy of your workout is. So be
conscious of this risk and don't get over-obsessed with numbers.

Wearable activity trackers are leading to a new era in fitness tracking without any doubt. You
also need to keep in mind that not all wearable trackers will have the best features for you.
Furthermore, constantly monitoring your progress with numbers can kill the joy of exercising.

In Conclusion, set your goals first and the wearable fitness trackers second. Only look at the
numbers as measures and not absolutes, and beware of the potential dangers of misuse.
