Get the Most Out of Your Garmin

Some studies have shown that people who use fitness trackers don't necessarily lose more weight or exercise more; however, there are many factors that go into whether someone is successful with their weight or fitness goals. Consider, for example, that some people may choose to "reward" themselves with a tasty treat when their tracker notifies them that they hit their exercise or step goal. If you want to make the most of your Garmin GPS watch, this article lists some great ways you can set yourself up for success. (Hint: Make sure you're always wearing it!)
