__**Description**__:



“Small steps. Big impact. The path to a healthier lifestyle starts with one step.” The slogan of FitBit explains it all. FitBit is a wearable product, which tracks activity such as the number of steps walked, quality of sleep, and other personal metrics. The idea of FitBit allows a person to feel like they’re working out throughout the day. FitBit calculates all the small steps you take, like walking up the stairs, to walking around your kitchen and adds it all up, allowing the consumer to see that no matter how busy your life is, fitness is apart of your everyday routine.

FitBit believes that you’re more likely to reach your fitness goals if you see others around you also achieving their goals. For that reason, FitBit allows you to see your friend’s achievements, and also be able to encourage each other along the way. The product also allows you to challenge each other to get on the leaderboard. FitBit wirelessly and automatically syncs information to your computer and smartphone throughout the day to see how fitness is in your daily life. This product is extremely easy to use. Currently there are four different models and also a Wi-Fi smart scale.

__**Applications:**__

FitBit is applicable in the lives of people who walk a lot or just live active lifestyles. They can calculate the number of steps a users takes in a day, the quality of sleep they are getting and some other activities. Because of this it can help to ensure that the user is exercising enough to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The fact that it can monitor our sleeping habits can help maintain this healthy lifestyle in a different way so that we learn different ways to make sure they get their eight hours every night.

Not much has changed with this device since its creation in 2008. The first device monitored steps taken, intensity of activity, distance traveled, calories burned and sleep patterns. The newest FitBit does all of these things except it is in real-time and therefore it is constantly updating the user on their progress. There are multiple versions of the FitBit and depending on which one the user has they will have different capabilities.
