My surgeon is an advocate for daily activity, at least 30 minutes per day.  He also recommends exercise of 30 minutes per day five times per week.  

Grim, did you upgrade your Fitbit or are you still using the same one?

I'm using the same one. The One. I don't care for the wrist-wearable type. If I put it on my right wrist instead of the left, I'd average about 20,000 more "steps" a day.

How do you like your fitbit? I have been wanting to get an activity tracker but wasn't sure which one to buy?

I absolutely love it. I've probably averaged walking an extra mile or more every day because of it. An extra 365 miles in a year really adds up.

I did not want the bracelet kind either.  I have the fitbit zip and love it.  Just clip in on my pants or bra each day.  It really does motivate me to get up and move each day.

This is interesting as when I researched my thought was I don't want that, but you both indicate you like the clip on.  Thanks...  We should take a poll and see what the members use and how they like their monitor?

Not to seem ignorant but what is a "Fitbit" and where might I buy one from? My job is very sedentary being that I do IT Support but I have a big warehouse behind me and although I KNOW I should walk in it every day (I do at times)  I think a tool like the Fitbit would encourage me to do so more.

Hi there 

I have the new fitbit surge.  I love it.  I have tried mantra different trackers and this one is the best by far.  You can do so much more then just steps. You can do stairs, yoga, treadmill, weights, workout etc.  and it all links to my fitness pal.
