Fitbit Flex

Brother Bill always keeps us up to date with the latest gadgetry.  Here's the most recent info from him, and this sounds pretty cool even to us technically challenged individuals. The Fibit Flex is a wireless wristband that you wear all the time.  During the day, it tracks steps, distance, and calories burned.  At night, it tracks your sleep quality and wakes you silently in the morning.  It sounds like a great device to get people motivated and moving.  Bill's lovin' his Flex so far...

The Flex allows you to set a goal and uses LED lights to show how you're stacking up.  Each light represents 20% of your goal. You choose which one - steps, calories, or distance. It lights up like a scoreboard, challenging you to be more active day after day.

Flex tracks steps taken, calories burned, hours slept, distance traveled, active minutes, and quality of sleep.

At night Flex measures your sleep quality.  The dashboard will reveal how long you slept and the number of times you woke up to help you learn how to sleep more soundly.  Flex also has a silent wake alarm that gently vibrates to wake you at your desired time, without disturbing your partner :-)

The cost of the flex is $99.95 and free shipping directly from www.fitbit.com/flex

This does sound pretty cool! ...Thank you Brother Bill!
