Yunmai Color Bluetooth Smart scale, $69.95.
I was immediately attracted the the sleek design of the scale, which looks great in our apartment and comes in a broad range of colors. But what was the clincher for me is that in addition to measuring and charting your weight, it also measures a host of other fitness metrics that are quite frankly more important and have a bigger impact on how you look than just your weight.
In addition to your weight, the scale measures your BMI, visceral fat percentage, body fat percentage, muscle mass, body water, Basal Metabolic rate, protein, and other metrics that give you a much fuller picture of your health. For instance, I found myself much more focused on lowers my body fat percentage rather than seeing pounds slide off. I’ve been doing a lot more weight lifting to tone up, which adds muscle, which actually increases your weight. But, knowing that my body fat percentage was declining in tandem with that is super encouraging and validated my workouts.
TICKR FIT — $79.99
I’ve noticed that when I have live feedback of my progress in classes like OrangeTheory where you wear a fitness tracker, I also push myself to the extreme and burn more calories and get more reps in. For this, I turned to TICKR FIT, $79.99.
I love how intuitive the TICKR fit is. After putting the band on your arm, you open your app and select he type of workout you will be doing. There are preprogrammed ones int he app such as cardio class, running, cycling, etc. You then press “Start” when your workout begins and end it at the end. During the course of your workout, the band is tracking some great vitals, such as distance raveled, calories burned, speed, etc. It then logs all of the information into the app so you can also track your progress and workouts. The band is super comfortable and once I started my workouts I hardly could even tell I was wearing it.
