Given the fact that hiring a personal trainer these days is not exactly something pretty much everyone can do, the number of devices and electronic products that can help you “coach yourselves” by monitoring each and every aspect of your workout sessions has also seriously increased. And that's exactly the type of products we'll talk about as follows, namely the FitBit Tracker, which is, without a doubt, one of the smallest and most portable products of this type ever to arrive on the market.

Without a doubt, the main selling point of the FitBit Tracker is its extremely high level of portability. Practically, all one has to do is clip it to their clothes, and the device will automatically start recording exercise data. In fact, the FitBit Tracker records a fairly large amount of diverse information, such as the exercise intensity levels, calories burned, steps that you take, and the distance traveled. In other words, pretty much everything you need in order to assess your workout and determine exactly what you need to change to improve your workouts.

To have access to the information stored onto the FitBit, all users have to do is simply place the device in the close proximity of its charging station, a 2.4 GHz wireless base used both for recharging the FitBit's internal battery and for transmitting the data to the FitBit website, where you can check out all their info online. However, if you can't always go online to check out the respective information, you'll be able to use the small OLED display installed on the device itself.

The FitBit Trainer is slated to arrive in stores around the US over the course of December and will sell for an estimate $99. Actually, its release date is very appropriate, since it will come pretty handy when we start to try and lose all that extra-weight we've gained during the Christmas holidays.
