5 Fitness Gadgets That Make Us Feel Like We’re Living in the Future

5 Fitness Gadgets

4. Fitbug Orb ($49.95). Okay, how cute is the Fitbug Orb? It reminds us of something out of WALL-E, it’s so darn cute. But we like this fitness gadget for more than just cuteness — it’s less than $50, making it one of the most affordable activity trackers out there. You can wear the little orb in a watch or with a clip on your belt or even your undies, and it tracks all the stuff you’re used to: steps, aerobic steps/time, distance, calories burned, speed — even sleep. It’ll connect to your smart phone or tablet, upload your data to MyFitnessPal or other apps, and it comes with a battery that’ll last you up to six months. The Fitbug Orb also comes with KiK, a personalized digital coach that’ll help you to set goals and reach them. Sure, there’s nothing ground-breaking about the Fitbug Orb itself, but we love how affordable and accessible these are getting — fitness gadgets for the masses!
