Jawbone ~ Reinventing Health & Fitness at Best Buy

I have something to admit. I’m not a huge fitness nut. My older sister? She’s a total fitness nut. And I phrase it that way mostly because she’s flat out crazy, even if she won’t admit it. Me not so much. The fitness part I mean. I’m plenty crazy. But getting healthier is a goal of mine. Now that I have a daughter and she is old enough to comprehend these things, I want to set a good example. Part of that is eating right and part of it is exercising. But part of it is being able to keep track of what I’m doing.

And while there is no magic bullet for the first two, there are definitely tools to help with the third, and two of those are the new Jawbone UP2 or UP3 at Best Buy. These are not you run of the mill fitness trackers that tell you how many steps you took during the day. That’s so last year. First track your activity, from running a marathon (so not me) to chasing your 5 year old around the grocery store (yeah, that’s me). Then when you are asleep (you know, because you are exhausted from chasing your five year old around) it will actually track and chart your sleep cycle and resting heartbeat. That data goes into Smart Coach and actually gives you suggestions on how to improve your sleep. Add in the calories you burned from chasing your kids around and the dog and cooking dinner and carrying 50 loads of laundry up and down the stairs and bringing up that 40 pound bag of dog food and now you actually have a complete picture of your health and Smart Coach will again make suggestions. A ton of super smart technology bundled into a tiny little package that you can wear all the time. Sign me up.

About the Jawbone UP3

Multi-sensor technology adds breadth and accuracy to Smart Coach. Everything about UP3 says that the bar has been set higher. Wear one and go further.
UP3 uses advanced sensors to track true sleep stages—REM, Light, and Deep. Smart Coach is then able to give suggestions to maximize sleep and improve the quality of your days.
Advanced bioimpedance sensors automatically track resting heart rate and use that information to help take care of the most important organ in your body.
Advanced Activity, Advanced Sleep, Food Logging, Smart Coach, and Heart Health.

Very interesting. I need one of these. My sleep is terrible. I could use some help in the sleep department.

Thanks for the Fantastic Review on Jawbone ~ Reinventing Health & Fitness at Best Buy! I'm not into all that exercising either! I'm hurting and swollen just from running around and standing here and there helping get ready for my Dad's funeral on Tuesday. I never realized how much was involved! I've been exhausted and don't sleep well at night and go all day! I have to get some laundry done tomorrow and go to the grocery store before we run out of everything! There just has not been any time! This Jawbone (what a weird name for this device!) is a great product in that it not only tracks your activity during the day, but also tracks your resting heart rate and everything! It also gives you suggestions which is a different feature! This seems like a really great product to have! Thanks so much for sharing your fantastic review, the picture, and your personal and professional information on Jawbone ~ Reinventing Health & Fitness at Best Buy with all of us! You know that I most definitely do appreciate it, just like all of your reviews!!! Thanks again! Michele

That's interesting. I'm one of those people that doesn't exercise. I figure day to day chores are good enough. I'm just basically lazy.

I'm not a big exerciser. However, I have a lot of problems sleeping. I wonder if it could help with that?

I don't know if I'd be so inclined to buy the Jawbone UP product. I'm not the sort of person who cares so much about food and fitness! I prefer to live my life day by day, and free of cares!

I think one thing I would use it for is my sleep patterns. I often have a difficult time sleeping. If it could help me with that ...

I really want to get one of these to track my sleep. I have sleep apnea so it would be interesting to see the results.

Not sure about this!

It seems like Best Buy sells just about anything and everything you may be looking for. I haven't shopped there in a while. I'll have to check them about again.

I am just getting back into exercising and have been reading a lot about fitness bands and think I need to invest in one.
