For those who stay on the up-and-up when it comes to advancements in the fitness world may be familiar with Up by Jawbone. That is because it was originally released last year. Nevertheless, a modified version has just hit the market, and it will greatly appeal to those who liked the look of the health monitoring bracelet but had issues with how it functioned. The kinks in Up by Jawbone have been worked out to better track movements, sleep patterns, calories burned, food intake and more.
