TRIED & TESTED

4 FAB FITNESS TRACKERS

Fitbit alta hr, £129.99 (Fitbit.com):

We love the new Fitbit Alta – dubbed the ‘world’s slimmest fitness wristband’ – which features PurePulse heart rate technology to analyse light, deep and REM sleep (plus guidance for improving sleep), alongside all the usual

activity tracking.

Withings steel hr, from £169.95 (withings.com):

If you’re after something that looks more ‘stylish watch’ than ‘fitness band’, Nokia’s Withings Steel HR might fit the bill. Functions include automatic activity tracking, heart rate monitoring, a ‘Personal Health Coach’ to help you reach goals, plus it boasts 25-day battery life and you can use it while swimming.

polar a360, £169.50 (polar. com):

Billed as ‘the fitness tracker that does more’, Polar Smart Coaching means as well as tracking and monitoring workouts, you’ll get help tailoring your regime, plus feedback on your progress and benefits of each workout. You can also carry out fitness tests, and tighten the strap and switch on ‘training mode’ for heart

rate tracking.

karrimor calorie life coach Watch, £35, sports Direct (sportsdirect.com):

This user-friendly watch tracks calories, steps, heart rate and distances covered during workouts. You can plot goals and track progress through graphs, and workout memory is stored for seven days.
