''The (Spark) is great because it tracks my steps and makes me want to reach a certain goal. It was easy to connect, it comes with a second battery, and the clip is really tight. I was a little hesitant because of the price, but I'm really pleased with the purchase, and doubly pleased with SparkPeople!''

SparkPeople Helped Set a New Guinness World Record
In October, SparkPeople partnered with National Geographic Kids magazine to attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the most people doing jumping jacks in a 24-hour period. We needed more than 20,000 people to do jumping jacks to break the record.
We are excited to announce that we broke the record! More than 300,000 people– including many SparkPeople members – participated in Let’s Jump! events around the world between 3 p.m. on Oct. 11 and 3 p.m. on Oct. 12. The record now stands at 300,265 — far surpassing the previous record of 20,425. (Find out how many calories you can burn while doing jumping jacks!)
Here's what our partner, National Geographic Kids magazine, had to say about the event:
