According to a statista.com study, wearable fitness devices are expected to exceed $4 billion in sales in 2017. These devices are everywhere. Some people have two for themselves, one for each child, and now even pets.

Tracking devices offer a fashionable way to participate in workplace challenges, be part of a health-conscious online community, and are a convenient way to measure many types of health-related data.

However, simply strapping a tracking watch on your wrist mightnot be enough to consider this expense a worthwhile investment. Take time to consider if you are in control of your health-and-activity tracking device, or if it is controlling you.

RELATED: Tips to help find your motivation to exercise

RELATED:Heart health made easy

Below are four common examples of when fitness trackers have too much influence on our behavior.

I feel great on todays jog, but my heart rate is getting too high. I should probably slow down.

Problem: Technology provides us with accurate measures of how hard we are working. Being able to train based on heart rate, power, pace, etc., is great for achieving specific event goals. Problems arise when we allow these measures to completely overtake our own personal feelings.

Solution: True benefits of training may be found by listening to how your body feels, as opposed to listening to your technology device. Next time you work out, pay attention to how you feel inside, take notes, and compare these feelings before and after each workout.

Well there goes another day of not reaching X number of steps. I guess I am not meant to reach my goals.

Problem: Tracking apps and wearables are great tools when we use them to positively reinforce good behaviors. The trouble begins when we allow our emotions and expectations to be controlled by their results.

Solution: Do not be disappointed in yourself when you do not live up to the numbers on your watch. Rather than hoping for the device to show you different results, take action to make a positive change within yourself.

I am too anxious just sitting here at my desk. I cannot focus, but according to my device its not time to take a break yet.

Problem: Ever feel your eyes hurt from staring at a screen for too long? Notice your legs bouncing furiously at your desk? Our wrist-bits are smart enough to sense a lack of movement and offer a gentle buzz to remind us to get up. Problems arise when we wait for this notification versus listening to our body when we need a few minutes away from our desk.

Solution: Self-awareness is a critical component to behavior change. Understanding your bodys natural signals will help you be more proactive in creating positive behaviors, rather than being reactive and simply waiting for your wrist to buzz. When you feel the sensation that you need to turn away from your screen or walk for two minutes do so.

Another night of poor sleep? Ugh hopefully, I sleep better tomorrow.

Problem: Tracking devices provide useful snapshots of data. Problems arise when we simply take in this information without doing anything about what it is telling us. Focusing on individual data points, such as a single night of sleep, mightdistract us from the bigger picture.

Solution: Use your wearable technology to follow trends in your lifestyle habits. If your device shows you have been sleeping poorly, make adjustments to your nightly routine in an effort to improve your sleep quality. Turn off the TV at least an hour before you get ready for sleep and avoid using phones in the bedroom. Try these tips and see if you can recognize improved sleep patterns over the course of the following weeks and months.

Advances in wearable technology have given us more measurable health data than ever before. After making the investment, be sure you are in control of your device, and you will find more value in the technology and in your healthy living journey.

Fitness trackers: When technology goes too far - Green Bay Press Gazette

Alyssa Tessaro, For USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin 1:02 p.m. CT March 20, 2017

Fitness trackers have a lot of benefits, but they won't get you in shape all by themselves.(Photo: yacobchuk, Getty Images/iStockphoto)

Fitness trackers seem to be everywhere. I see the different tracker bracelets on high school students wearing them as well as shoppers when I am out in the community. Depending on the type, trackers can count steps or mileage, measure heartbeat and keep track of how much you sleep. People connect them via apps to log a history of their workouts, but do fitness trackers improve their health?

According to the latest research, that answer is no. A study published by the Journal of the American Medicine Association last fall found that people wearing fitness trackers who followed a low-calorie diet plan and exercise plan did not lose as much weight as those study participants following the same diet and exercise plan, but did not wear fitness trackers.

That does not mean you should toss your FitBit, Jawbone or other wearable device. These devices do offer some benefit, but losing a lot of weight is probably not one of them, especially if you are not following an exercise and diet plan.

Since all devices are different, they do not all have the same features. If you have a wearable fitness device or are thinking about buying one, here are tips to get the most benefit from it:

Set a daily goal and aim to beat it. Most health experts recommend people take at least 10,000 steps a day. That is a good goal to begin with. If that goal is beyond what you can handle, set a lower number and look to raise it over time.

Movement tracker: Some devices can detect how long you have been sitting and will vibrate if you have not moved for a certain amount of time. If yours has that option, go ahead and use it. It will serve as a good reminder to get up and get moving.

Track heart rate. Please note these devices do not provide an accurate heart rate reading, but they can provide you with a good idea of how much your workout is raising your heart rate. If you raise your heart rate to 50 percent of your maximum, an estimated 85 percent of your calories burned will come from fat. Exercising at a lower intensity also burns fat, but not as quickly.

Track your sleep. Many trackers can log how much you sleep get each night. For some, this is an eye opener since it turns out they spend more time tossing and turning than actually sleeping. Once you have a clear idea of how much sleep you are getting, you can change your habits so you can sleep more soundly.

Track your routes: Many fitness trackers have built-in GPS so you can use it to easily track your running, walking or cycling routes. It will provide you with an exact distance and your speed. If you do the same route regularly, it will easily allow you to compare different workouts to see if you are getting faster.

Wearing a fitness tracker by itself will not improve your health, but you can use it to keep track of your activities and then use that information to make some positive health changes.

Bryan Fearman, 22, Indianapolis, has a history of threats and intimidation, court records and police reports indicate.(Photo: IMPD)

An Indianapolis man was sentenced to more than 30 years Monday for his involvement in an attempted murder at a Lawrence gym.

Bryan Fearman pleaded guilty to attempted murder earlier this month, according to a news release, and received a 35-year sentence for stabbing his ex-boyfriend in the back with a kitchen knife at an L.A. Fitness in July 2015.

Lawrence police were dispatched to the gym in the9900 block of Pendleton Pike, where they found the man without a pulse, the knife's handle still sticking out of his back.

Fearman fled the gym on foot, but was eventually found by police. He told officers he did not care whether his ex-boyfriend lived or died, according to court documents.

Court documents also detailed several previous incidents involving Fearman and the ex-boyfriend, including a protection orderfiled by the ex-boyfriend in the summer of 2014.

The request for a protection order details how Fearman allegedly broke windows at theman's home in March 2013, bit him and attempted to stab him with a broken bottle. Then, in July 2014, Fearman allegedly broke windows at the man's grandmother's home while the family watched TV.

Fearman also made threatening phone calls and sent threatening text messages, threatened a Domino's employee who previously had a relationship with the ex-boyfriend, smashed the windows of a van belonging to a family member of the ex-boyfriend and was allegedly involved in an attempted arson at the house where the ex-boyfriend was staying, according to court documents.

Despite the protection order, Fearman told police, the pair continued to see one another. He had gone to the gym that day to discuss a $700 charge on Fearman's debit card, which he told police the ex-boyfriend had done while he was in jail on felony intimidation charges, according to court documents.

Man sentenced to 35 years in LA Fitness stabbing - Indianapolis Star

A Long Island man filed a $2.5 million suit against gym chain LA Fitness Monday, claiming a dip in one of their hot tubs left him battling Legionnaires disease.

LA Fitness member Earl Stewart says he was hospitalized for a week with the aggressive form of pneumonia after lounging around the spa area of the Garden City Park LA Fitness branch in Nov. 2016, according to papers filed in Brooklyn Federal Court.

The Deer Park resident says he remains sick and disabled, following his innocent use of the facilities.

After Stewart was diagnosed, the Nassau County Department of Health descended on the fitness center, and discovered it was crawling with legionellathe bacteria that causes Legionnairesforcing health inspectors to shut down the spa, jacuzzi, and pool indefinitely, the complaint states.

It remained unclear if the facilities had re-opened, as an employee from the Garden City Park branch hung up on a Post reporter.

Stewarts attorney did not return a message.

According to Chris Watson, fitness instructor for the new Albemarle fitness group H4G, the key component to fitness is not a gym membership or a special diet, a particular workout routine or a new app to download.

The key is hunger, Watson said. Hunger to be better and to grow, to want to move up and step out.

That is the idea at the heart of his new fitness group, H4G. Short for hungry for gains, the group started about seven months ago and now averages about 15-30 people a session.

Most of those members are new to fitness, Watson noted, but whether getting started or toning up, everyone has a driving desire to improve, Watson noted.

Thats what I love, Watson said. I love to see people work hard.

That driving desire to push forward is not always easy to maintain, though. As a multi-sport athlete who graduated from Stanly County Schools in 2010, Watson said it is nearly impossible to do that alone. It takes a team.

In fact, he started H4G as a way to keep his own family gnawing after a healthier lifestyle.

My dad and his girlfriend wanted to get in shape, Watson explained. They asked me to help them with it.

So he started leading their trio in exercise routines at the Albemarle High football field. Before long, friends were joining them on a regular basis. People walking by would stop join in.

Watson rolled with it.

Talking with the principals at both AHS and Central Elementary, he secured their facilities on a regular basis for the group (AHSs football field for good weather, Centrals gym for cold or wet weather).

H4G now meets 6:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday and 9-10 a.m. Saturday.

Its more cardio than anything youll find in a gym, Chris Armet said at a recent workout.

With temperatures below 30 degrees that morning, the crew met at Central Elementary. The workout began with sprints and lunges and then rolled into curl-ups and planks, with only one short break in between.

And this is an easy day, Armet said.

On warmer days at AHS, the warm-ups usually involve dashing up and down bleachers and sprinting up hills, he explained.

He knows how to push, Arnett said.

However, the routines are never routine. Sometimes members are holding a plank position while their partners jump back and forth over their legs. Sometimes they are doing curl-ups with dumbells before jumping into burpees.

Its always different and its always challenging, Jennifer Stokes said at practice.

But nobody stops.

Like an athletic practice, exercises are done as a group and completed as a group. Attendees call out encouragements around the room and urge their partners on in pair exercises with keep goings and almost theres.

Watson, an ever-present coach, makes circuits of the room, occasionally modifying exercises for people who are struggling, but more often getting down on the floor to do the exercise with them as encouragement.

Thats his style, Mark Thompson said. Its not boot camp. Hes not yelling in your face. He motivates you by making you feel good about what youre doing.

For Crystal Stanbeck, that has been essential for success.

Struggling to maintain an exercise routines for years, her weight fluctuated so much she had stopped buying smaller clothes for fear of wasting her money.

It wasnt until Watson, who saw her exercising alone one afternoon, invited her to join H4G that she has kept the weight off.

When Im struggling on the track, (Watson) comes and runs with me, Stanbeck said. When he sees me at the store, he comes over to check in with me... He holds me accountable.

In the four or five months with the group, Stanbeck has lost 50 pounds. She has also bought some new clothes.

I know Im going to keep it off this time, Stanbeck said.

To put an emphasis on that kind of hunger for success, Watson takes a picture of the group at the end of each session. The picture is pasted to Facebook later that day as a little reminder of why they are there.

Stay hungry, Watson said.

Taberski explored some of the darker theories in his podcast, but in the end concluded that, based on all the information he had, Simmons' longtime house keeper and friend Teresa Reveles, who had been the subject of many of the rumors, "is just doing her job. Moreover form what I hear now she seems to be doing it well."

Catalano, Simmons' older brother Lenny, and others interviewed for the podcast also said Simmons was doing fine, Taberski said, although they may not know or understand the reasons behind his decision to suddenly stop attending classes at his well known Simmons Studio in Beverly Hills in February 2014 and never return.

During the last episode of the podcast, Taberski also spoke with LAPD Detective Kevin Becker, who paid a welfare visit to Simmons a few months ago. Becker said Simmons was "fine" and seemed healthy and Reveles was "nice" and cooperative, Taberski said.

Simmons' studio closed in November, and while the final class was attended by Taberski, he said, it was not attended by the Slimmons' founder.

Asked why Simmons would skip out on the closing of the studio he was once so dedicated to, Catalano said it would have been too emotional.

"You know for Richard, who wears his emotions on his sleeveless tank top, it would have been too much for him," he told Taberski.

Marco Fabian is committed to Eintracht's turnaround.

Mexico midfielder Marco Fabian has said that he wants to focus on the run-in of the Bundesliga season with Eintracht Frankfurt, explaining his absence from his national team.

The 27-year-old at the weekend played his first full 90 minutes after missing large parts of 2017 with back problems.

The playmaker returned to the Frankfurt team last week, coming off the bench in the defeat at Bayern Munich. On Saturday, he made his first start this year when Eintracht drew 0-0 with Hamburg.

The draw saw Frankfurt drop to seventh in the Bundesliga standings, and after only winning seven of a possible 24 points in the second half of the season, Eintracht could miss out on qualification for a European competition.

However, Fabian has not given up on playing in Europe next term. He told reporters that he cancelled his trip to play in Mexico's World Cup qualifiers against Costa Rica and Trinidad-Tobago so that he would continue improving his fitness and help the Bundesliga side turn their season around again.

"I asked to be omitted from the national team. It's been cleared with the national team coach [Juan Carlos Osorio]," Fabian said about his absence from the squad for the March 24 and 28 matches.

"I want to fully focus on Eintracht and do everything I can physically to be able to help the team in the best way possible during the run-in."

Fabian was one of Frankfurt's key players during the first half of the season.

Osorio told reporters on Monday that the decision to keep Fabian and Jesus Corona out of national team play over the next week was taken before their return to weekend action with their respective clubs.

"I exchanged WhatsApp messages with Jesus and it is worth mentioning that [Corona] along with Marco were fortunate to be able to return for their clubs, but we had already decided with the clubs that we were going to give them both a chance to rest so unfortunately they won't be with us," Osorio said. "We will play our game with the players we have, all of whom are doing well at the moment. We must focus on those who are here with us and not those who are missing."
