I recently purchased a Fitbit Flex. I snap it on my wrist, sync it to my smart phone, and it tells me how many steps I've walked, how many calories I've burned and even how well I slept.

Here are some other cool fitness gadgets (that really aren't that pricey) you could incorporate into your life.

Nike+ FuelBand SE While it doesn't have the alarm function the Fitbit has, it's pretty cool because it converts movement into NikeFuel, which can be used to create and track goals. It retails for about $150.

HAPIfork If you have trouble with portion control and how fast you eat, this is the gadget for you. It vibrates when you eat too fast and tracks things like the amount and how many times you eat per minute. It runs about $100.

Fitbit Aria I love scales like this because they streamline weight tracking. Not only does it tell you how much you weigh, but the scale also tracks your body mass index and transfers the data to your computer. It retails for about $130.

Lumo Lift I have bad posture, like a lot of people. You can wear this little gadget as jewelry or under your clothes, and it vibrates when it detects you're slumping. It also tells you how long you've been active and tracks this information on a smartphone app. It runs about $100.

Tinke Many Mississippians have heart problems. Heart disease and stroke are the leading cause of death in the state. If you want a fitness gadget that also monitors your heart rate and blood pressure, invest in one of these little things. Just place your finger over the sensor and an app tracks your heart rate, your breaths per minute, the oxygen levels in your blood and how your heart rate varies. It retails for about $119.
