Today Nike is releasing their version of a fitness gadget for the wrist today. The bracelet is somewhat similar to the Jawbone UP bracelet which had some popularity before the recalls and bugs went out. The features are much like other fitness tracking bracelets in the past with things that will calculate steps, calories burned, and time. The difference is in the fuel though. Nike developed something called FuelPoints that are designed to help you create goals and reach them throughout the day.

Fuelpoints are a way to actually measure your fitness overall. It is primarily based on oxygen intake. That means the more you move, the more FuelPoints you earn yourself. Equipped with 20 colored LED lights, the FuelBand lights up to show progress going from the color red to the color green as you keep adding in the FuelPoints. To create more of a challenge for yourself, you could even set up goals in advance. Each day is different and you are even able to put in your moods and how you feel about a performance. Personal notes allow you to look back and reflect too. When you hit your goals, you can share it with the world and you can keep on hitting them to go on a streak. Sounds fun, right?

Looking back and tracking your progress and goals is also simple. All day your activity is being monitored whether you are inside on a treadmill or out and about. It syncs wirelessly to your phone and plugs in through USB to your computer. You can even compare it to others in the Nike+ community so you can stay focused and motivated to do more and get more accomplished. With your iPhone Bluetooth pairing you are able to receive encouragement while on the go.

There is not a need to worry about it being too big or small either. Nike made it so the FuelBand is offered in three different sizes and comes with insert links so you are able to get the best fit possible.

If you love fitness then this will be a fun gadget for you to acquire, and if you love gadgets, it is sure to be a lot less buggy than fitness gadgets of the past. If you love both fitness and gadgets, then what are you waiting for? The Nike FuelBand Gear up to take on those resolutions in a fun new way for only $149. Pre-order your Nike FuelBand today.
