AT&T's Healthy Tech for Alexandria Residents in the New Year

With 2016 coming to a close, many Americans are now likely going through the annual ritual of making New Year’s resolutions…that most will not commit to beyond a few weeks. However, AT&T has many great wearables to help consumers stick to their resolutions and reach their goals in 2017. Here are a few of AT&T’s favorites for those of you trying to get fit and stay active in the new year:

• The Samsung Gear S2 allows you to check email and texts while on the go. The built-in S-Health app tracks your steps, your heart rate, and even gives you a nudge when it’s time to get moving. This is the perfect product for people who want to stay healthy and connected.
• The FitBit is one of the more popular smartbands. There are different options within the FitBit family, including the FitBit Flex, FitBit Charge and FitBit Surge. The products monitor your daily activity, allowing you to see how close you are to reaching your daily goals.
• The UP24, also a smartband, has a unique “Smart Coach” app that is an intelligent guide to help you make at least one healthy choice each day. In order to be more heart healthy, the app might suggest a certain bed time for a full night’s rest.
• Garmin vivofit 2 Activity Tracker can provide a daily step goal and show your steps, calories, distance, and time of day on its easy-to-read display. You can also capture data from a compatible chest strap heart rate monitor and use the activity timer to track fitness activities by syncing to Garmin Connect™, an online community where you can join fitness challenges and save, plan, and share your progress.

To make sticking to your resolutions even easier, all of the products listed above are available on AT&T’s online store, as well as at select AT&T retail locations.

Happy New Year!
