BodyMedia Link Armband Review

Today we have a pretty interesting product for review. When it comes to staying healthy you can work out, eat right etc., but it would be nice to be able to track your activity to really see what those activities are doing for you. Whether is working out, going for a run or even how much sleep we are getting the BodyMedia Link Armband can track all of that for you. This way you can see how much physical activity you are doing each day, how many calories you are burning and much more. This is great for someone like me who is sitting at a computer most of the day, but really anyone could benefit from a product like this. Read on as we see what the BodyMedia Link Armband is all about.

Special thanks to BodyMedia for providing us with the Link Armband to review.
