That said, you can&#8217;t deny that this is a cool device: <strong>Calendar alerts, calls, texts, activity and sleep tracking<\/strong>, and the famous &#8216;calories burned&#8217; notification that puts a smile on your face while you&#8217;re going for a walk. You can also set the Inspire to &#8216;inspire&#8217; you to get up and move at set intervals, and congratulates you for meeting your goals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-starred-link\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-starred-link__img\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/run-runner-exercise-192.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-starred-link__col-title\">\r\n        <p class=\"sc-card-starred-link__title\">Complete guide to self-improvement: mind and body<\/p>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__button\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/smarter-faster-stronger-self-improvement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\">Read Now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-starred-link__link\" href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/smarter-faster-stronger-self-improvement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer sponsored\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h3>The Fitbit Inspire HR has extra features<\/h3>\n<p>The HR model adds a little extra to the Fitbit Inspire package with enhanced tracking and goal-setting.
