When it comes to motivating people to move, nobody knows how to do it better than Fitbit, which recently introduced two new devices perfect for runners and walkers. The One is the ultimate wireless activity and sleep tracker, measuring steps, distance, calories burned and sleep quality; and then the results are uploaded wirelessly to a free web site where you can track your progress. A stripped-down version of the One, called the Zip, tracks steps, distance and calories burned and also syncs wirelessly. Both are rain, splash and sweat-proof.
