January is rushing by and your New Year's Resolution might be seemingly a little daunting. So, to help you keep on track we have pulled together our top 5 gadgets for helping you reach your goals in 2022.
Get more Active
Not everyone wants to run a marathon this year. For a lot of us, it's just about getting a little bit more active every day. Using a fitness tracker is a great way of seeing how active you are during the day. It's a great motivator to get you skipping the lift at work, walking to the shops or going for a quick walk on your lunch break.

If you find it hard to fit breakfast into your morning schedule than try opting for a smoothie. It's easy to make and can be put in a travel cup and brought with you on the trip to work.
