When it comes to weight loss, most people would recommend strict diets, regular exercise, and, if all else fails, a date with the friendly neighborho­od cosmetic surgeon. But achieving one’s ideal body does not always have to mean starving, or spending hours at the gym, and it certainly doesn’t have to involve a risky surgery. With almost two decades in the beauty enhancemen­t and slimming industry, Allura has become a go-to place for people who want to enhance and improve their physical features in a safe, non-invasive way.

NIKE recently introduced the Nike +Fuelband, an innovative wristband that tracks and measures everyday movement to motivate and inspire people to be more active. Activities can now be measured through a new metric called Nikefuel: the more active you are, the more Nikefuel you earn.

“The Nike E+ Fuelband is a way for Nike to further evolve the exciting possibilit­ies of merging the physical and digital worlds,” said president and chief executive officer Mark Parker in a statement. “Nike has always been about inspiring athletes, and the Fuelband will help motivate them in a simple, fun and intuitive way.”

Designed to be worn throughout the day, the ergonomic, user-friendly wristband uses accelerome­try to provide informatio­n about different activities through movement of the wrist via a LED dot matrix display. Four metrics are available: Time, Calories, Steps and Nikefuel. Unlike calorie counts, which vary based on someone’s gender and body type, Nikefuel is a normalized score that awards equal points for the same activity regardless of physical makeup.

Users set a daily goal of how active they want to be, and how much Nikefuel they want to achieve. The NIKE+ Fuelband displays a series of 20 LED lights that go from red-togreen as the user gets closer to their goal. The wristband syncs with the Nike+ website through a built- in USB, or wirelessly through Bluetooth to a free iphone app, to record activity and track progress every day. The app interface also provides encouragem­ent and motivation as goals are achieved.
