Anyone who has ever started working out after months or years of inactivity knows how difficult it can be to maintain the energy and determination needed to make that workout a habit. Once it becomes habit though, working out is far easier to continue.

There are hundreds of different products, plans, and services that could help you get to the point of working out as habit. Hiring a trainer is expensive, going it alone is unrewarding (not to mention failure-prone), and gyms can be frustrating and embarrassing. A great alternative is buying a workout-tracking device.

These devices come in many shapes and with a variety of features. A workout tracker allows you to exercise when and how you want to, helps keep you on track, and can be far cheaper than a trainer or gym membership. The basic workout trackers resemble watches and generally measure the same things an exercise machine would – heart rate, time, distance, and calories burned. Workout trackers are an inexpensive option for people who are familiar with exercising routines and training.

For people who have never stuck to a workout regimen or are trying one for the first time, there are now devices that collaborate with an app and a website to help you stay on track. One great option for this tracking is the Jawbone Up. This device synchronizes with your computer or smartphone to record your daily movement, calories consumed, calories burned, and sleeping habits.

Yes, you can wear this kind of devices while you sleep and they will monitor that as well. The app and website also allows you to record your daily caloric intake, but you have to do so manually by entering what food you ate that day, like most other dieting apps. Overall, workout tracking devices that include online recording and support tend to motivate people to get healthy better than other services.

Finally, for serious or professional athletes, there is the Under Armour E39. This device is a shirt with an embedded computer to track precise movements and wirelessly transmit the data to a laptop. Under Armour, the clothing manufacturer, partnered with Zephyr to create a great product for athletes who need to know exactly when and where they went wrong during training. The E39 can help trainers, coaches, and athletes understand how to train more efficiently by targeting the problems detected by the E39.

It does not matter what previous experience you have had with exercising or training, there is a device to help you train better, more consistently, and smarter. For someone looking for casual workouts, the Jawbone Up will help you meet your goals. For the runner or cyclist, a traditional workout tracker watch would help tailor your exercise to your needs. Professional athletes need look no further than the Under Armour E39 to increase their speed, power, and agility. Working out does not have to be an analog activity anymore – digital workout trackers that synchronize with your computer are available to help you exercise smarter.
