It’s hard to escape health and fitness gadgets, and why would you want to? The best can offer great ways to help monitor your progress and keep you on track as you strive to reach the health and fitness goals you promised yourself at the start of the year.
The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held in Las Vegas last month, is billed as the global stage for innovation.
It was crammed with transformative new technology, including some smart new health and fitness gadgets.
How many of them will make it to the shops is anyone’s guess, but our money’s on this first one being a Christmas best-seller.
Smart toothbrush
Connected toothbrushes can track your brushing behavior and help you spot the bits you’ve missed. Nothing new there.
But Colgate has a prototype toothbrush that can somehow ‘see’ through a mouthful of foamy toothpaste to detect the build-up of plaque.
White light means to move on, blue means keep brushing. It won the CES 2020 Innovation Award for Health and Beauty and we’re told it should be on sale later this year.
If you’re still wondering if an electric toothbrush is worth buying, you might want to wait until this beauty hits the shops
Fitness bands
They’ve been around for over a decade, but the manufacturers keep finding new ways to update them. Some of the latest versions seem as close as you can get to a smartwatch, without actually being one.

Some have automatic activity tracking – so you don’t have to stop and re-program the band – and inactivity reminders if you spend too long sitting at your desk.
There are waterproof bands, bands with GPS tracking, and an activity tracker for your cat. We kid you not, kitty.
