How does a fitness tracker work?

A portable tracker continuously detects body movements on a 3-axis accelerometer. The data is recorded every time it is worn and turned on, allowing the tracker to track if the person is walking forward, running fast or even staying still. This may seem like an overwhelming requirement, but for people who have less experience with fitness programs or exercise regimens, buying a fitness tracker could be an excellent step in the right direction.
