Get Fit Games
OnSale told you about the latest fitness gadget from Fitbit that is geared toward adults, but what about ways to stay in shape for the kids? That’s where a nonprofit organization called HopeLab comes in. A subsidiary of the group, called Zamzee, has a new tool for helping kids stay motivated to get fit.
The Zamzee is a device that lets kids track their daily activity and track their fitness pursuits online. To help kids stay motivated and interested, there are opportunities to change levels and earn rewards, such as a gift card or an iPod. There’s no monthly fee to use the Zamzee, which costs just $29.95 and can go up to two weeks on a single charge. The device, which fits conveniently in a pocket, comes in four different colors. Order one here.
