Curious if fitness trackers are actually helpful for your fitness goals — or just another over-hyped gadget?
In this episode of Truth Talks, we dive into the real value of wearable tech for your fitness journey. From step counts to sleep tracking, we explore how fitness trackers can help you monitor behaviours, stay accountable, and gamify your goals — but we also explore where they fall short, including inaccuracies in calorie tracking and the risk of relying too heavily on the numbers instead of experience.
