ACTIVITY TRACKER Fitbit Charge 2, £129.99 (fitbit.com/uk) Like any decent fitness tracker, it calculates steps taken, distance walked and calories burnt – but it offers extras, too. It’s ideal for Moonwalk training, as it connects to your smartphone’s GPS to track how well you’re doing on your 15 minutes per mile pace and chart your progress on a map. It also has a built-in heart-rate monitor and a breathing exercise function to help you relax. 78/100
