A: Research has shown that people who track their steps have higher physical activity levels. Tracking steps helps you to become aware of how much you are moving across a whole day and recording your steps can be a powerful motivator.
Steps are also a simple, easily understood metric that can help you set your own personal goals (remember it's ok if you are not hitting 10,000 steps a day). By viewing your progress on your 10,000 Steps Dashboard, you can visually see your achievements, empowering you to stay accountable to your physical activity goals and encouraging you to take an extra step whenever possible.
