So fitness tracking…. it’s a thing. It’s a very big thing these days, and if you’re reading this then you probably already know that. Fitbit burst onto the scene in 2008 focusing on health and activity monitoring and made fitness tracking such a “thing” that even your iphone tracks your action stats for health monitoring.
