There is a big choice now when it comes to choosing a Fitbit so I have made up a comparison table (shown at the bottom of page) and then some brief pros and cons for each device. I hope this helps you to make the right choice when choosing a Fitbit!  ACE FITBIT The Ace Fitbit tracker is reasonably priced and pretty much the same price as the adult Alta, which makes sense because pretty much it IS the Adult Alta but with a smaller band and the ability to use the children’s app which allows parent control of settings and data. It does not have smart features such as text and phone notifications....

How to analyse your food diary. The dreaded food diary is always recommended by fitness professionals but seldom kept up for any length of time. One of the reasons for this is that the diary does not usually lie! It is a cold hard look at what you are eating.

The group using vibration plates lost an average of 11% of their body weight, compared with a 7% body weight loss for the group using conventional exercise methods. The group using vibration plates also lo...

The more overall calories burned the more fat that will be burned.  Time(min)% of kcal from fatKcal Burned Kcal from fatR...
