Each year the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) publishes global fitness trends. For 2025, wearable technology was found to be number one: devices such as smartwatches, fitness-trackers, and biometric sensors are becoming an integral part of exercise and health programs.
What does this mean for you?
- You can monitor heart rate, steps, changes in intensity-data that helps you know if you're really making progress.
- For weight loss (as in your goal), these tools help you maintain consistency and adapt your workout.
- You don't need an expensive super-device: even a simple pedometer bracelet can give you great insights.
Practical tip:
Try to choose a simple weekly goal (e.g., total steps, active minutes) and measure each day: consistency is more important than the technology itself.
