Recently we focused on wearable tech; the Jawbone Up in particular, a seriously handy piece of kit for those wanting more of an insight into their real time activity and goals. It's also worth bearing in mind that there are apps out there that don't require the tech, in particular Moves.

The app (quite incredibly) tracks your activity (walking or running) from your phone even if it's in your pocket or bag. It plots your route, tells you your steps and even calories burned. The only thing to watch out for is the amount of battery life consumed, you'll have to be careful given that it will eat a significant amount of juice. But overall if you're not ready to make the leap nor the investment into the bracelets swinging from everyone's wrists, this is a noble app indeed.
