Does anyone use a fitness tracker?

[EmilyCokayne]

I am really interested in getting a fitness tracker but am a bit baffled by the choices out there. Does anyone use one that they can recommend please?

TIA

I have a fitbit which tracks steps, distance, calories burnt, etc. it's useful for measuring activity levels, eg I hit about 5/6 miles a day walking about on my commute, taking the dog out etc but at weekends I was only managing about half that even though I was going on a long walk. Similarly it measures activity which isn't specifically exercise, like doing the garden, housework etc. if you don't want to splash out on that you could try a smartphone app first , such as runkeeper.
