I have been wearing a Fitbit Flex daily since March 1st. I did not buy the Fitbit for myself. I would consider that an extravagant purchase for myself. I actually received it as compensation for a blogging project I completed.
For those of you that don’t know, a Fitbit is an activity tracker that you wear on your wrist. It tracks your activity levels and sleep while you are wearing it. [Read more…] about What I Learned by Wearing a Fitbit Flex for 3 Months
