The Fitbit Flex is a great activity tracker to get started with, coming in at under $100 it can track your steps, calories, and even your sleep.

For those looking for a slightly more advanced fitness tracker, the Charge HR is another great choice. It does everything that the Flex (above) can do, but it can also track your heart rate. Good for seeing how you’re doing during your workouts, especially when doing cardio. It also has a LED display that can show the time as well as your stats.

Jawbone also has a few fitness trackers, including the UP Move. Which essentially a fitness tracker that can clip onto your waist of your pants and track your steps.
