Fitbit: Finding the Right Fitbit for You

One of the best ways to establish and maintain a healthy lifestyle is by setting fitness goals and keeping track of your progress toward achieving them. And one of the best ways to do that is with a Fitbit activity tracker from Kohl's!

Fitbit is designed to help you find your fitness comfort zone while motivating you to stay active and allowing you to see how even the smallest activities throughout your day make a major impact on your overall health. And Kohl's has a wide selection of Fitbit activity trackers available so the whole family can stay fit, stay motivated, and have fun doing it. But how does the Fitbit work?

Fitbit Tech and How It Works

Fitbit goes beyond the technology of more traditional step trackers to help you and your family live a healthier and more active life. Part of the science behind Fitbit involves the use of its patented PurePulse technology which incorporates photoplethysmography - or sophisticated light-based technology - to take precision heart rate measurements. Not many people outside of the medical field are aware that light can be used to measure blood flow and with virtually unmatched precision. Blood absorbs green light and when your doing any manner of activity - even sleeping - your blood flow changes which in turn causes changes in the volume of blood in your wrist.

With that in mind, Fitbit's PurePulse technology uses green light detectors on the underside of the Fitbit activity tracker device called photodiodes to measure how much light is being absorbed by the blood. That measurement is then used to determine your per-minute heart rate. That's the technology that makes Fitbit unique and you'll find it when you shop Kohl's!

Types of Fitbit Devices

Fitbit is more than just another wrist worn device for tracking your steps throughout the day. It tracks every part of your day. Fitbit monitors all of your activity morning, noon, and night - everything from miscellaneous activities like walking and casual biking to more strenuous exercise, food consumption, fluctuations in weight, and even sleep.

One popular option is the Fitbit Charge 4 Fitness and Activity Tracker. This sleek, swimproof tracker is packed with features like a built-in GPS, Active Zone Minutes, Sp02, exercise modes and sleep tracking. Plus, with Fitbit Pay and a 7-day battery, you get more convenience on the go and more inspiration to reach your fitness goals.

If you're looking for an even more advanced device, opt for the new Fitbit Charge 5. The Fitbit Charge 5 offers a few upgraded features and functions compared to the Charge 4, including the simple fact that the Charge 5 is 10% thinner than the previous model. Other upgrades include a stress monitor, a new bright color AMOLED screen, and a stainless steel case. This device also has the ability to give you a daily morning Readiness Score (Premium subscription required) which takes into account all your recent activities as well as your sleep cycle to provide you with recommendations on how to go about your upcoming day.

Auto Sleep Tracking for Improved Health

Sleep stages are the key to understanding and improving the quality of your sleep. While you sleep, the Fitbit tracker measures and records the time your body spends in light, deep, and REM sleep. In conjunction with measurements taken during your daily waking activities, the Fitbit technology distills all of the information info easy to read graphs and makes them available on the Fitbit app.

With all of Fitbit's innovative tools conveniently wrapped around your wrist, all you have to do is wear the tracking device to bed at night and wake up to read the data and not only learn how well you slept but also ways to apply that knowledge toward healthier, better quality sleep.
