FitBit One received.
It’s amazing what you can find at Staples.com. They have just about everything, obviously you can find all of your office needs. I was also amazed to learn that they also have a full line of tools available which will be perfect for my next home repair project that I’m sure I’ll start against the will of Tésa! Staples.com even has some items to help you be more productive in the office by getting in better shape.
That’s why I’m excited about the Fitbit ONE, a wireless tracker and sleep monitor. The Fitbit One will measure your basic activity, think steps and stairs, and has many other great options. Why does Staples.com carry this you may ask, well I think an active in-shape staff of employees is a good start for a productive company, you know, motion creates emotion! Also, keep in mind, Staples.com carries just about everything.
My never ending saga to get and stay in shape has been given an extra kick by the Fitbit One, which is a wireless tracker and sleep monitor. The One is a small wonder, it’s about the size of a flash drive, and tracks how active (or sedentary) you are in a day, week, or month. It fits just about anywhere, it’s small enough to fit in that little goofy top pocket of your side pocket in your pants, or it also includes a clip to attach it to your belt, just make sure it is securely attached to you somewhere, and you are good to go.
There are a number of items you can view on your Fitbit, but its full powers are shown in the online dashboard or the app for your iPhone or select Android phones.
You can set up a complete social network with the Fitbit One; invite your friends and certain reports can be seen. Tésa and I are doing this right now. We are both very competitive and I can see us each getting up to walk the kids to school in the morning just to get an extra mile in before the other one gets a chance to! Also, as you reach your goals, your One will send you badges and notifications, you can share these on Twitter right from your phone if you wish to connect and share your successes with others.
You can also wear the One to bed and it will monitor your sleep and let you know how long you slept, and how many times you woke up. It sadly doesn’t make you sleep better, but it can help you find out if you are having any sleep issues. Better sleep leads to a more productive day.
The One will also keep track of your calories you burn throughout the day, and you have the ability to track your weight and food intake via the app or online dashboard.
There are so many options with the Fitbit that you’d think it would be overwhelming but it’s not. The basic use of it is to see how active you are, and to help you interact with others to help you become more active to meet your fitness goals. We love it so far, and I look forward to competing with Tésa weekly in our “friendly” competition to take more steps to better health!

That’s awesome!! I’d love to try that!
I just talked about the Fitbit today! I love it! It is truly fantastic!
Great gadget for keeping yourself on target. I know a lot of people like to use this.
This is an awesome gadget, trying really hard to stay healthy and fit:)
That’s a cool gadget to help you with getting fit. Thanks for sharing.
Love your review. I’ve been wanting to get one but wasn’t sure how it really worked. Thanks for the info and for the nudge into the right direction!
That is so cool! I’ve heard a lot about them lately, but wasn’t really sure what it was. I need one of those!
Have always wondered about these! Thanks for the great review!
Oooo I want a FitBit so bad! I just started a new exercise regime and this handy device would be perfect for me :)
I saw this at another store a couple weeks ago and wondered if it was any good!! I may just go back and pick it up now!
I have a FitBit Zip and absolutely love it! It’s helped me get much more active!
I want one! I would love to measure the sleep…or lack thereof. Sounds so great!
I’ve heard a lot of great things about the Fitbit. Thanks for sharing.
I have a Fitbit too and I really like it because it guilts me into moving! lol
i have been hearing great things about ths. I cannot imagine what it thinks about my sleep with a 8 week old! Ha!
This is neat. I had no idea there was something that would measure my sleep and everything.
That is so neat. I have been working out and trying to get into shape, and have never seen this!! Might have to get one of these!! Thanks for sharing :-).
I like that you can add some competition with it!
This looks amazing – I’d get a lot of use out of something like that.
This looks pretty awesome. I am using an app now to track calories and it includes a small (very small) spot for exercise and such…this is much better.
My doctor uses the FitBit and recommended that I invest in one also. Her comment: “It is money well spent!” She even wears it inside her bra!
