Our Top 5 Gadgets for 2012!

Get your health on track this year with a little help from our top 5 favorite fitness gadgets for 2012!

Want a trainer and DJ all in one? Motoactv by Motorola is just that. It’s the world’s first GPS fitness tracker and music player. It keeps track and records data like time, distance, speed, calories burned, and heart rate. Plus, its music player learns what specific songs push people harder, creating personal, high-performance playlists to give you that extra boost you need!

For cyclists the iBike Dash Cycling Computer is a convenient and safe way to hold your iPhone or iPod during a ride. Attach the water and shock-resistance case to your bike, giving you more access to the iDash which records speed, time, distance, temperature and maps your trip. The free iBike app holds multiple rider profiles so you can compete and share results with other cyclists. Also, with an optional Bluetooth headset, you can also receive calls on the go. Cyclers rejoice!  

Former Trainer on the Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels, swears by the CORE Armband from Body Media to measure calorie output. It is the most accurate calorie tracker on the market and is much smaller than all the other models so its much more comfortable and convenient to wear!

The iGrill Grilling/Cooking Thermometer is a great gadget for 2012 as well. It is a wireless cooking thermometer. It comes with two probes that measure the food’s temperature, allowing for perfectly cooked meals. The device works as a stand-alone thermometer and has an in-built kitchen timer. It works in conjunction with the free app, which also contains bonus recipes!

The FitBit Wireless Personal Trainer is also a gadget we love. It tracks your fitness and sleep, as well as calories burned, distance traveled, and more. Your data is automatically uploaded onto the FitBit’s Website where you can add details about your nutrition and weight which helps you develop a consistent and successful routine. What more could you ask for in such a small package?
