Get them a gadget that accompanies their smart phone or computer and improve their health and fitness goals next year.
We have a list of six gadgets that help with just about every fitness issue imaginable. Sure, traditional health methods to boost energy and lose weight work just fine, but wouldn’t the entire process be much more fun with a gadget?!
1. FitBit Flex Wireless Activity and Sleep Wristband
This sleek wrist band syncs to an app that helps you track your food intake and activity, steps walked, calories burned, how well you are sleeping, and wakes you with a silent alarm. The online app lets you track your progress, mark your goals, and stay connected through social media so that you can keep motivated towards your goals.
2. FitBit Aria
A wifi powered scale that connects to the FitBit app. This scale helps to track your BMI, weight, and body fat percentage.

3. HapiFork

The HapiFork helps to show how fast you eat; when you are eating too fast, it lights up and vibrates letting you know. There is an online Dashboard that tracks your information from the gadget and makes your goals achievable in a fun way by letting you add pictures, stay connected to other Hapi Product users, and score points for challenges.
4. Citrus Zinger
Water is important for everyone at every stage of fitness. Not everyone likes to drink water, as they prefer sugary drinks to a seemingly tasteless drink.

An added bonus is the health benefits from citrus fruits for your body, like lemon, speeding up your metabolism.
