If you’re looking for a lightweight, barely there fitness tracker that you can literally forget you’re wearing, it’s time to get UP with Jawbone UP! Jawbone is a family of wearable fitness tracking devices that measure your steps taken and will track your sleep as well. Jawbone comes with a free companion app for iPhone or Android, and on this app you can track your progress, similar to other fitness tracking devices. There is also a place to log your food intake, and Jawbone comes integrated with a food database where you can scan barcodes. I will say the library isn’t as comprehensive as MyFitnessPal, but it’s still pretty impressive! What really sets Jawbone apart from the competition, aside from the price, is Smart Coach. Smart Coach is part of the Jawbone app, so not only can you look at and analyze your own progress, but Smart Coach will give you tips along the way. Each tip that Smart Coach gives you can mark as a thumbs up or thumbs down too, which just makes Smart Coach even smarter and tailored more to what you are hoping to get out of your fitness tracker. After a few days, Smart Coach will start issuing challenges to you, such as reaching certain step goals, going to bed by a particular time, or eating so much fiber. The intuitive design not only provides support but education too. Jawbone UP app is able to be integrated with several other apps too, such as MyFitness Pal and even Apple Health. This key functionality really goes a long way to help you achieve your personal fitness goals. There are several different models of Jawbone available, at many different price ranges.
