Does anyone use one of these types of training / motivational aids. What are your thoughts on them?

cheers

I had a rep show me the Polar one the other day,

Looked pretty good with a iphone/andriod App.

Once all your info is in weight/height etc It tells you how much Walking/running/sitting/standing etc you need to do to hit you target a day.

Its nothing you can work out yourself but it its a convenience and will make life easier and certainly help with motivation.

have a look at the DC Rainmaker blog for in depth reviews on this sort of stuff

ordered a fuel band and a jawbone up, from Apple, used them for 2 weeks and returned under the “feel free to use for 2 weeks policy” – scratched the itch, cost me nothing, didn’t really learn anything from the “gadgets”

Cheers guys
