Fitness Tracker Watch Recommendations?

I chose the fitbot charge her, and there are silicone bands you can put over the clasp, but still taking it on and off you would probably have to touch the clasp. -
Tips on injury prevention
Blue Collar Nerd replied to Blue Collar Nerd's topic in Running, Swimming, Biking, Walking, Hiking
Hey. My shoes are pretty new, I have only had them a couple months and they are still in great condition. I'm wearing a set of Nike Airs (I think) so they are probably not the best shoes in the world but they are what I can afford right now and are definetely better than the cheap runners I had before. When I bought them I was sized and they do feel like they fit well and are comfortable, enough space in the toe box (which is rare for me to find since most women don't have wide feet/splayed toes apparently) and no foot movement/sliding in the heel. I was lightly jogging when the pain started, my walking pace on the treadmill is about 3.6 and I was only at 5.3. I jogged through it for a while and when I quit it hurt for a little while but stopped after about a half hour of rest. I am wondering if it is something like underpronation (I know that's not the right word for it but I'm tired) or something related to the way I walk? -
Hey guys. I have been running and find the outside of my left foot hurts after walk/jogging for a few minutes. So Im wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to avoid that. Also I have had a few low back injuries in the past and so I tend to hurt it easily. After running (too much too soon I'll admit) I am extremely sore today and finding it painful to bend or lift. I am wondering what I can do to build the strength in my back?

Hey rebels! I figured it's time to stop lurking and get involved. Quick stats: Female, 24 (almost 25), 5 foot 6 and 135ish pounds. I started my fitness journey in June 2014 at 210lbs (the highest number I'm willing to admit but it was higher) I have been bouncing between 132 and 138 for a couple of months and am happy with my weight but have been trying to increase my cardio and strength training. I can't wait to get to know all you awesome nerds!
