fitbit launches new ‘charge 2’ and ‘flex 2’

I am fortunate to be invited to many prestigious events, launches and premieres, and I was particularly excited to have been invited to the launch of the newest additions to the Fitbit line-up, the Flex 2 and Charge 2. Guests at the event included Comedian and my good friend, Siv Ngesi as well as Olympic Medalist Swimmer Cameron van der Burgh who shared his journey with Fitbit and how it has benifited his training regime. Whether you simply enjoy the occasional run or swim or you’re a pro-athlete, Fitbit has a device that suits and is geared to help improve your lifestyle. As a fitness fanatic myself, these are certainly must-have devices to monitor and help you reach your fitness goals and I was thrilled to get my hands on these new and improved devices. I’ll be using Fitbit in my fitness regime, so be sure to follow me on Instagram and Twitter for updates, tips and tricks on how I use Fitbit… Enough about me, let’s talk about the new devices…
