I was piddling around in my fitbit app last night and upped the daily amount of steps I want to take. The recommended is 10,000 but I've challenged myself to take 12,000 steps per day. I also need to be active for atleast thirty minutes each day.
My fitbit will vibrate if I haven't gotten up to move and I love that it does that. It also let me set up which time frame of the day I wanted to take 250 steps or more and I just completed the first hours steps right now. I like that this is keeping me accountable.
I've been saying that I want to lose some weight so I can be healthier and this keto diet is already helping with that, I just need to do my part and get active.

This is the fitbit Alta HR. I don't know how much it costs because my friend handed it to me for free.

It definitely is. I've not been making the 12,000 steps per day, but I'm still trying. I think I might break it up and take three ten minute walks per day and then maybe one twenty minute walk too.

@Courtlynn I think it would. I need to get outside and do some walking too. For now I've just been doing all my steps inside.

I've got a fitbit but struggle to do the 10,000 steps every day, and even more so the 9 active sessions a day. I think age maybe a factor. Good luck getting 9/9 on a regular basis.

A lot of the walking I've been doing has been created by making extra work for myself.

I love my Fitbit especially the feature that it reminds you to get up and move.
Good luck with your increased steps
You can do it!!!

sounds good i have considered buying fitbit as i work out everyday and love to excerise so would love to know my progress instead of guessing are they great gadgets

They are great gadgets, but they aren't fault proof. I do think they sometimes count steps I haven't taken. They are one of the best on the market though.

I use the Health app on my phone to determine how many miles I walk a day. I usually walk between two and 5 miles a day.

@Hkity1217 wow 8 miles in one day? That's quite a bit. I've seen lots of youtube videos of people walking 20,000 steps or more each day to lose weight. I want to try to stick with my 12,000 step goal but do it every day instead of only seldomly.

@ScribbledAdNauseum 5 miles a day is so great. I have done 8 miles before but that’s as much as I can go usually only do about two or three

Something I should have been doing a few years ago. I've been losing weight, but I feel like it might have been a little easier if I had done this a few years ago.

It definitely is but I think I can tackle them. I just need to walk more than just the 250 steps that are recommended per hour. I haven't done the math to see how many steps that will be though.
