The fitbit Force is a pedometer that monitors you while you walk, climb stairs, or sleep. It was recommended by my doctor, and has greatly improved my exercise regimen.  Fitbits come with a USB dongle you plug into your computer, and a USB charging adapter. When you are within 10-20 feet of your computer, the fitbit software automatically uploads fitbit data to an internet file. You can see the daily data by pressing the button on its side.  Right-clicking the Fitbit icon on the system tray shows daily and 30-day charts of your physial activities (steps, miles, floors climbed, sleep statistics(in bed, actually asleep, times awakened), calories, etc.  Apps are available for smartphones, and Ipad 3 or later. Fitabit sends you an email reminding you to charge it, and the computer display shows the battery charge.  You take it off while showering or swimming and to recharge it every 5 days or so. There are several models.

Warning:  The Fitbit wrist-strap models have a stainless steel clasp containing nickel.  A few people (me included) are allergic to nickel and develop a rash from 3 to 6 weeks after wearing the fitbit.  Fitbit is aware of this problem.  I was able to wear the fitbit Charge by putting waterproof medical tape on the inside of the strap. The tape needs to be wiped with a washcloth daily, and replaced every week or so. If you still get a rash, STOP WEARING IT IMMEDIATELY, and contact Fitbit for a refund and/or replacement with a model that is NOT worn on the wrist.
