Hello and Happy Wednesday!
I’ve been sportin’ a Fitbit since November. First, I tried the Fitbit Flex for a non-blog project. Then, the FitBit company sent me the Fitbit Force – their top of the line model. Fancy.
I am a big fan of walking to lose weight so I LOVE activity counters like this. But, this is more than a pedometer – it also gives you updates on
-
How Many Steps You’ve Taken
-
How Many Calories You’ve Torched
-
Distance (in miles!)
-
Stairs
And it can work as a silent alarm!!
I’ve worn it on some runs, but I prefer to put it on after a morning run to see what activity I get during the day.
I wore both for a run with SkinnyRunner last month and this is how I usually wear it – one on each wrist. The above picture was just easer to take.
The Garmin is more accurate, but it’s not really something you can wear all day to track activity. Plus, the Fitbit dashboard is automatically uploaded to your phone and computer via bluetooth so it’s super super easy to use.
Here is my review of the Fitbit Force:

Disclaimer: Fitbit sent me this to review and provided one to giveaway. All opinions are my own.
Tanya says
Did the Fitbit give you a rash? I have been hesitant to buy one because there was a report that it gave some people a rash. I am allergic to nickel so am kind of wary. I aim for 10,000 plus my run every day.
runeatrepeat says
Not yet, we’ll see though my skin is very sensitive and I usually take everything off to sleep.
kristen @ verbs and vignettes says
i know this is super late to the game, but i would definitely pay attention to your wrist. i don’t think it’s too high of a percentage of users affected, but when they are, it’s really intense. the fitbit forum is blowing up with new reports of it.
i switched to a jawbone up24. i miss some features, but it’s still pretty awesome.
audrey says
i always aim for 10,000 – tough since i sit a lot for work, but i can usually make it happen!
Jenny says
My mom has a FitBit and is INSANE with it… She has hit 25,000 steps before and she doesn’t run. So that shows you how much walking/movement she does. I would like to give her some competition with a fitbit… so i’d aim for 30,000 steps. Is that even possible? Naww I’m just an average gal, I’d aim for 10K. 🙂
charity wright says
10, 000
poppy says
15,000
Crystal says
10,000
Maggie says
50000!
Courtney says
I guess 10,000, I’ve never counted before!
Melanie says
10,000 steps a day. That’s what I aim for. Somedays I get it easily, other days I’m short. But hey, I try. 🙂
Stephanie says
I’ve never had a goal for steps. I live in NYC and walk a lot so I’m assuming I hit the recommended amount?
Allison Elkins says
I aim for 10,000 steps.
Ivan92116 says
at least 10,000
cat says
I work on my feet so a lot. Like a lot. I do have a pedometer but I haven’t worn it in a while, but a lot. A lot counts as an answer right?
Vicki says
I just took an office job and I’ve been thinking about getting one of these! 10,000 per day is always the goal!
Kristy says
10,000
Mike Harris says
10,000
Kristy says
I would like to say I take 10,000 steps a day, but I may not. I work at a desk so it’s hard. This would help!
Sara says
I would love this! Being a grad student I sit on my bum at a computer all day every day. I know this is low, but I’d love to get 7500 a day.
Lanna says
As many steps as possible. I’m a designer some days I’m on the computer all day others running around like a crazy person.
Andrea says
Would love to try out the FitBit!
Kate says
I don’t have a step per day goal, but my job requires a lot of walking so I’m hoping I tally in something not awful. I love statistics though and have been eying the fit bit for a while.
Katie says
I’m not sure because I’ve never used anything to track my activity – I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and would love to win!!
anna maria says
Not sure about the number but I try to get as many steps as I can.
Sara says
10,000
Lauren F. says
I aim for 15,000 each day! Loooooove my fitbit zip, but it’s 2 yrs old and ready to retire!
Renee says
I hope I already get 10,000 but I’d be interested to see!
Bridgette Hudson says
I really dont have any device to track my walking and it is something i would like to do more of now that I am walking for two
Avanna says
I’ve been wanting to get one of these!!!! I have no clue how many steps I take, but I want to know.
Debra Lee says
Since I work on my feet, I wonder how many steps I do take.
Stephanie says
15,000
Janelle says
I aim for 10,000 steps in addition to whatever exercise I am doing for the day.
Jessica says
I’ve been wanting one of these! 12,000 steps!
Sarah says
hmmm, I really don’t know how many you’re supposed to take! Pretty sure I do bunches though, working in retail I zip around for 8 hours!
elizabeth says
my guess for daily steps????? 12,000. Thanks RER
Kathy Opperman says
I aim for 10,000. Some days it’s easier than others.
Amanda F. says
I aim for 7500 minimum, but can get between 10,000 and 13,000 on a good day. I’m currently trying to make 10000 plus the norm.
Emily S says
I try to get over 2 miles of walking in each days in addition to my workout but I know I am not always successful at that. I’m not sure how many steps that is because I have never had a FitBit!
Robin says
Including my workouts usually 13-15,000
Natalie says
I aim for about 10,000 a day, though that is pretty hard for me as I work at my desk for a good 7-8 hours a day!
Emily says
NoneBecauseIDon’tHaveAFitBit!
Coby says
I am for 10,000 steps!
Keri says
I’ve never tracked my steps before, so I don’t know how many steps I do or aim to do each day. I workout 6 days per week and try to get up and walk around every hour.
Nichole P says
I have no idea how many steps I take but I would love to get in at least 10,000 especially since I have a desk job 🙁
Christina C. says
I just keep moving til I cant move no more. I have a pretty sedentary job, so I try to use stairs instead of elevators and park as far away from the entrances as possible. Just keep movin’, Just keep movin'”!
Meghan N says
I’ve never really set a goal because I have nothing to track them (aside from a Garmin). I am a runner but I have a desk job and long hours which definitely makes me curious how many steps I get outside of my daily workouts. I bet this would help encourage me to move more during the day and be more aware of my activity level.
Georgia @ Trying Something New says
I work on my feet, workout after work, run around town, but still have no idea how much I actually burn in a day. This could save me some endless nights of calculating intake vs. outtake!
Amy says
I’d love to try it!
Katie says
10,000 is a good start.
Tiffany S says
15,000! 🙂
Emily says
I try to get in 10,000 steps a day but I’m finding it more difficult as I transitioned to a very sedentary desk job 🙁
Nikki says
I guess I would shoot for 10k. Glad to see the artist formerly known as Skinny Runner is still around, even though she’s not blogging anymore!
connie n says
Working on making time for fitness and just getting started. I’ve planned on 10,000 steps a day ….
Annie says
I guess I’d aim for 10k steps/day? I’m a SAHM so I’m just curious how many steps I naturally take, outside of exercise time.
Blair says
12,300!
Lee says
I have had my FitbitFlex since Christmas. I love it! My goal right now is 13000 steps, but I will be upping that soon. My absolute favorite feature is the silent alarms. I am woken up in the morning by a buzz buzz on my arm, and it doesn’t wake up my hubby, which is awesome! Very cool!
Lori says
I aim for 10,000 steps per day!
BreannaS says
I believe that last time I tracked steps the goal was 10,000 in a day so I guess I would wear it for a few days to get a base line and then set my goal based on the average.
Less says
I have been meaning to get some kind of tracker.
Alicia says
I make sure to walk to the break room! But I definitely need to do more and would love to once the arctic weather passes.
Courtney says
I would want to take 10000 or infinity steps a day. HAHA
Casey @ stayingonpace says
I have never tracked my steps, but I have read 10,000 steps per day is recommended. So, I would aim for that!
Olivia D Hamilton says
I dont even know who many a day i take or a general guesstament (is that even a word?) . IF i had a Fitbit tho i would know! So i want to win lol.
Annette says
No idea exactly how many – just as many as possible. I try to stay active throughout the day as set I can 🙂
kaci cheeseman says
i have wanted to get one of these! i aim for 10000 steps a day, and this would help me keep track!
JenS says
I know it is recommend 10,000 steps per day but unfortunately I have a job where I am at my desk for 10 hrs…so I try to aim for 6,000 – 8,000 on work days
Kelly says
While I have no idea how many steps I actually take, I aim to walk as much as possible- to school, work, the grocery store, and when I’m on the phone (I’ll walk around the block). When I have tracked it while I’m at work (at a hospital) I’m usually around 15,000
Allison @ Life's a Bowl says
I aim for at least 10,000/day. And the days I do more, hooray!
Toni says
10,000!
Angela says
I would love to have a FitBit! I don’t even know how many steps I should have, but I guarantee you if I win – game on! How much fun would it be to track and try to beat each day?
Rob Runs says
We have a 10,000 steps program at work where we aim for that much daily. I had no idea how hard it would be, I pretty much only meet the numbers if I count in running a few times a week and average it out over the day. And then my pedometer broke so I stopped even trying to count. I sure could use this to get back toward those 10,000.
Kate says
I aim for 10,000, it’s tough being stuck behind a computer most of the day!!
Erin says
I would aim for >10,000, but I don’t track now. A fitbit would definitely be motivational!
Mary N says
I aim for 10,000 after my morning or afternoon run! It always felt like cheating if I wore it during my run!
Debi says
12,000.
cathy says
id love to win one!
Donna says
10,000 would be a dream but I have an incredibly sedentary job which is super aggravating 🙁
Debi says
Fun! I’ve been wanting to track my steps during the day because being a runner and blogger and coming home and sitting at my laptop all day isn’t so great. Ha ha. Need to move more. 🙂
Ryah says
I have the fitbit zip and I shoot for 10,000 steps a day. It’s harder to reach though on days when I do yoga or other non-step based workouts.
bobbie says
I used to wear an UP by Jawbone which is similar to this but it broke ;(
anyway that device determined that 10,000 steps per day was a good goal for me.
It was neat b/c it would also tell me how I slept at night.
I miss that thing.
Kelsey says
My goal is 10,000 steps! A lot of those include going up and down the stairs at work 🙂
Sonya says
Gosh, I have no idea…that’s why I need the FitBit 🙂 I do take my dog for a two mile walk most days on top of my running, etc.
Ashleigh says
I work in a restaurant and walk 7-10 miles each shift, so I would aim for 10,000 steps not including work
Chris A. says
I’ve heard the magic number is 10,000. but I’ve never tracked my steps before. I would love this, I think!
Erica says
I’ve always heard 10,000, but wonder how I compare with my daily running/walking workouts. I want one!!
Jordan says
15,000 steps a day
Lex @ Flecks of Lex says
FitBits are so awesome! I like that you can compete against friends! I have the cheapie version (the Zip), which is great, but I would love to be able to track more activity with my FitBit.
Robin says
I try for 8,000-10,000, unless I am out running then its about 20,000.
😉
Meredith says
If its a running day, I’m good. But if it’s not 8-10,000.
Breanna says
I have no idea but it would be great to be able to track it.
Cary says
No Idea! I am curious to know!
Elisabeth says
I don’t aim for an exact number of steps, but I think an activity monitor like the Force would push me to sneak in extra movement!
Robyn says
I really don’t count my steps, but try to stay active as I can with my desk job. I’d love to win this to track how much I actually move!
Erica @ erica finds says
At least 10,000 – so easy on running days but tough during the winter for me otherwise! Despite living in a walking city!
Katie says
I aim for 15,000 steps per day. I commute to work by foot so 10,000 was too “easy” for me! 🙂
Kristin H says
I would love to get about 5k – I work 830-5 mon-fri (deskjob) but try and get up every 1/2 hr to walk around so 5k for me would be great
Lara says
I wish I took more steps during the weekday because I sit at a desk all day! I don’t have a number goal but I know it’s more than what I currently do.
leahk says
I’d like to aim for 10,000 not including what I do at the gym.. mostly because I work from home a few days and I need to balance things out!
Anna says
10,000 a day 🙂
Krystina says
I don’t really have a goal in mind, but would definitely make one if I had a FitBit to track my steps.
Lindsay says
20,000
Molly says
I’ve never tracked my steps but it would be interesting to find out! I sit at a desk all day, so I’m sure I need to get up more on my non running days!
mary says
I do not have a pedometer so I just try to get in as much activity as possible.
Ashley says
I have no clue how many steps I take but I’d love a fitbit to figure it out 🙂
Andrea M says
I would love to hit 50000 steps, I feel like that would be a lot, but I honestly have no idea!
Jennifer says
i work on the third floor of a busy program, so i get to run up and down stairs all day. i’ve never tracked my steps, but i am to move as much as possible!
Jennifer says
As many as I can…if my light in my office goes off (it has a motion sensor), I know I’ve been sitting too long!
Carol says
10,000 steps a day
Stephanie says
I’d love to have one of these!
Meghan says
I don’t count steps but I love the idea of doing it!
Ashley says
I’ve heard that 10,000 is a good goal so I am happy when I reach that, but since I work a desk job I usually just aim to get up and walk around for a few minutes a few times a day!
Juliana says
I aim for 10,000 a day. i have a fitbit that I use and LOVE. it is so great at tracking. i have found it is more accurate (I compare it on my runs) when I set it to non-dominant hand as I often hold my phone and things in my dominant hand.
Hayley says
I think around 10000-15000
Anne says
I teach PE so I take anywhere from 12500-18000 steps a day and that doesnt include my runs!
Laura P says
It would be great to have an accurate podometer to see how much I really do move, running and exercising not included.
Camile says
I aim for 10,000 steps/day. Secretly I always want to go way over that though.
Nicole says
I am at a desk all day and I exercise after work, so I just try to get up and moving once an hour at work!
FitBegins says
I aim for around 5000 but it’s time to bump that up!
Tracy F says
I would love to win the force! I aim for 10000 steps a day
Molly @ alsoranagain says
Not counting running, I’m probably only around 3,000. I have a desk job!
Carmen Hernandez says
I aim for 10,000 on the weekdays & 20,000 on the weekends. I push myself to make sure I don’t miss the goals on the weekends. The weekdays are hit or miss depending on life.
Shirley Jump says
I aim for 10,000 steps but don’t always make it. I don’t count my walking and running together–so the 10k steps is in addition to the miles I run most days of the week.
Katie M. says
I aim for 11,000 but really only get there if my workout includes cardio. If it’s just a lifting day, I really struggle to hit the 11,000 steps.
Joan says
i am for 10,000 a day but that is outside of my normal runs.
Lisa says
I haven’t used a fitbit yet but would love to!
Jenna says
I’ve been researching these. Seems meant to be!
Chelsey jones says
I try to hit 12,000 but that usually only happens if I am running!!!
Allison says
I got a standing desk at work and my goal is just to stand as much as possible.
Ashlee Bartley says
Right now my goal is 6,000 steps per day, but I think I’m ready to bump it up to about 7,500!
Tanya Purvis says
I wish I had something to tell me how many steps I get in every day. I have no idea!
Shannon says
I don’t aim for a specific number of steps. I just walk as much as I can — stairs, instead of elevator; park farther away from the store; take the long way to the printer when at work; dance parties all day, every day; etc. 🙂
Kelly Jo says
My goal is to walk at least 10,000 steps a day! I love my Fitbit and would love for my Husband to have one!! He walks daily with his job and I would love for him to have one
Andrei says
5,000 for now, maybe more in the future
Dana says
I dont have a set number, I should though.
Lesley Brown says
I’ve been lusting after a Fitbit! I have no idea how many steps I get in a day, but holy cow at your 10,000+
Jack Sh*t says
Okay, I commented, liked your Facebook page, paged your Likebook account, faced your Pagebook, flirted with your eHarmony profile, offered a job to your LinkedIn account and removed your email address from my spam detector. WHAT MORE COULD I POSSIBLY DO????????
Melissa (@TheDailyMel) says
My daily goal is 10,000 steps or more. I don’t always hit it, but that’s the goal. LOL
AnnaGrace says
i definitely take at least 10,000 steps/day!
kristen says
I aim for 8-10k per day
chandra says
I lalalallooooooove when my flex buzzes that I hit my goal for the day!!! A lot of times it happens while I’m teaching and I have to try really hard not to “Yay!” and announce it into the microphone to my class. 🙂
Lisa says
I run about 20 miles a week but would love to know my activity throughout the rest of the day. I have a desk job so I don’t think its too much.
Lisa says
10,000 steps is my goal!
Rachael says
I work remotely, so you’d think itd be easier to move around a lot during the day, but there are some days I end up stuck behind the computer for HOURS. I try to get in a run or walk no matter what though and to move around every hour or so.
Tricia says
I’ve never tracked my steps taken each day. It would be cool and motivating to see how many I’m currently getting and then try to find ways to add more steps in each day. I work a desk job so there isn’t much getting up and moving around here.
Stacie says
I have no idea…w/ a sedentary/desk job maybe like 5,000?
Erica D says
10,000
Tracey says
I would love to try the Fitbit! I have no idea how many steps I take a day but would love to try this!
sstory says
I’ve been thinking about getting something like this to keep track of my activity when I’m not at the gym!
Abbie says
I try to average 10,000 a day, knowing I have more active and non-active days. It would be nice to have more accurate tracking with the FitBit Force. My boyfriend just got one and loves it!
Elizabeth says
I always aim for 10,000 per day. Now whether or not I achieve that each day is another story…
Diane says
On running days, I like to see how far past 10k I can go. On rest days, I like to be at 6-7k.
Natalie says
I’ve never actually thought about how many steps I take during the day, but most people seem to think 10,000 is a good number to go for, so that will be my goal!
David Haug says
At least an hour of walking. So 5,000 or so I guess.
alyssa says
I don’t really have a goal. You can tell when you feel good and when you don’t.
Brittney @Sweets 'N' Greens says
I’ve been wanting to try out the FitBit! I walk 1.5 miles to work every day, but don’t do much else so this would be a good motivator.
Renee says
I have no clue but it would be cool to see how many I am taking now and what I could improve to!
Johnna says
I try to hit 10,000. I work from home so it’s tougher…can’t wait for warmer weather!
christa says
5,000, I’ve been having chemo treatment for 13 months 🙁
Kate Fuller says
I don’t count steps, but I do try to add extra walking time whenever I can! Parking far away from my office (or the grocery store), walking to run errands and always taking the stairs over the elevator or subway all add up :o)
Colleen L says
10,000!
Hannah says
I shoot for 10K, but working an office job in the heart of the polar vortex makes it difficult (…so I try to make up for it by rowing 10K on the ergometer instead)! Would love a FitBit to be able to keep better track at the office!
michelle kim says
Never counted my steps in a day, but I’d love to go for about 12,000+ (including my runs).
Megan says
I have no idea how many steps I get anymore. I used to wear the original fit bit (clipped to my bra) and would try to average around 10,000 (which is hard!). But since I stopped wearing that, I honestly have no idea – but I can definitely judge the days that I’m more active and the days that I’m less active.
Taya says
I would love to try to Fitbit Force, I work in the office most days and would love to be able to track how much activity I get during the day aside from my normal workout routine. So I would make it a goal to get 10000 steps in!
Erika says
I would love to do 10000 steps per day, but I’ve never had a pedometer that works.
Megan @ The Skinny-Life says
I have had my FitBit for a year now. I love it, however, I do notice my heart monitor I wear with my Garmin or Polar watch are more accurate for tracking calories burned & fat %. I still wear my FitBit every day & I like to compare the differences between the two when I run/walk.
Michele says
I actually have no idea how much I walk in a day and that’s why I would LOVE this.
Mary says
I try for 10,000 but I have no idea where I really am! 🙁
Carley says
I really don’t set a daily step goal, but I would love to track how many I take!
Helena says
10,000+!!
Mona says
I would love the fitbit to help me track my fitness goals!
Kayla says
10000 sounds good…but I really have no idea!
Erika says
I aim for 10k but lately I haven’t even been getting close to that. Need to step it up!
Bailey B says
Love to give it a try
Laurence says
I try to walk as much as possible. I never take the car. So, I would say 10 000
Teresa M. says
I have no idea how many steps, I don’t wear anything to track them.
Kaitlyn W. says
I’ve been wanting a Fitbit – just can’t bring myself to pay for it!
Rebecca Jo says
I try to take 10,000 but its so depressing when I leave work & see I’ve only taken 1,500… that’s just pitiful
Christy says
I have no idea, but would love to find out!
Jessica says
10,000 steps but it’s hard on rest days because I have a desk job. I really just need to get up and move around more!
andrea says
I’ve been wanting one of these for quite a while now. I wear a Weight Watchers Activity Link, but I want to know more specific information, like calories and steps. I’d love to win this!! 🙂
Stacey says
I honestly have no idea how many steps I get in a day. I have been looking at getting one of these, to win this would be awesome.
Mandy says
I aim for as many as possible but this would help hold me accountable.
Alex Ramirez says
I’m not sure how many steps I take in a day. I would guess I walk about 3 miles worth.
Melanie says
I have no idea how many steps I walk a day, but I know I could do so much better. It’s really tough working a desk job all day and living where it’s too cold to go outside for walks. I’d love some extra motivation from a fitbit!
Ashley Conway says
Probably about 10,000.
Carrie G. says
NO idea how many steps I take a day, but I’d like to find out!
nancy says
I aim for 5000. I will add more as i surpass my goal. 🙂
Sarah says
I aim for 10,000, but I’ll be honest I have noooo idea if I ever hit it. I sit at a desk all day, so I usually try to get up and roam around the office every couple of hours to make sure I get some movement in my legs.
Brittany V says
I aim for as many as I can.. But I usually take my butt to the gym to make sure that I get as many as I can!! 10,000 would be ideal!
Becca L. says
I never have had a goal on steps, but if I had a fitbit I definitely would!!!
Holly B says
I walk 4 miles everyday at lunch, then 1-2 miles after work with my dog. So around 10,000-12,000. I’d love to see the actual mileage on the FitBit.
Beth Crum says
My ultimate goal would be 10,000!
Britta says
I’ve never heard of a fitbit but man, SO NEAT! Love the bluetooth feature. I don’t really aim for steps especially if I don’t have any way to track it – talk about mind overload if I did! But I try and walk as much as I can..it’s kind of like drinks with friends, the more the merrier, right?! 😉
Sarah EM says
I aim for 10,000 although it is a bit tough some days. Shopping always helps get those last 5000 in 😉
april says
i’ve been wanting a fitbit so badly! i don’t track my daily steps, but i hope i’m getting around 10,000 per day 🙂
Tracy says
I try for 8,000. I have a desk job so it makes it hard sometimes to reach 10,000
Jordan says
To be honest I have no idea what to aim for since I have never used a pedometer. I would start with 5000 as a goal and work my way up depending on how easy that is.
Melissa says
I would love to get a better grasp on my activity outside of just my workouts.
Val says
I would hope to get somewhere from 8,000 – 10,000
Cortney says
I aim for 10,000 which is achievable on the days I work out, but I work a desk job so if I happen to not work out one day I don’t reach that goal.
Collette says
I have no idea how many steps I take a day, that’s why I would like a device like this. Plus I have a desk job so I think it would make me walk more if I had a goal.
Emily says
I aim for 10,000, but I am not always successful. Perhaps having a fitbit would change that!
Rebekah says
10,000! Which doesn’t always happen, but usually I get pretty close on days that I work at the coffee shop.
Desirae says
I have no idea how many steps I get in in an average day. I have a desk job so I’m sitting a lot, though I try to get up and move every half hour or so. I need a FitBit Force so I can see where I’m at step/activity-wise and so I can make sure I’m moving as much as I should!
Tasha says
I aim for 10,000 but it’s definitely easier to reach that goal on my running days. I gotta get better at getting in those steps on non-running days!
Sabrina says
I am constantly moving for my job so I recently bumped my step count to 12,000.
DH says
Not sure, but I’d love to be able to track them and find out how many I actually get in!
Meghan says
I would love to try one of these out! I’ve been on the fence about them, which do you think is more useful for a runner, one of those or a garmin?
Emily V says
I’ve never tracked how many steps I take each day. Current goal is to go for a walk every day since that is the only exercise that feels good anymore with my expanding belly! My dog makes sure the walk happens. He’s always ready to go!
Katrina says
I aim for the 10,000!!
Ali says
I aim for 10,000 but love to get more.
Brittany O'Brien says
I have NO idea how much I walk- but I am always taking the stairs 🙂
Dani says
10,000 but probably don’t get it unless I work out!
Nicole says
I go for 10,000 a day, but its so hard to track!
Amber says
I have a Nike fuel and it does a horrible job tracking my steps. Although I have learned that i do not move nearly enough. It is alarming!!!
Jessica G says
I’ve never tracked my steps before nor do I know how many I should take a day. I’m guessing around 10,000. This would be a great way to learn how many I should be taking.
Karla says
A bunch of my family members just got fitbits! it’d be fun to have one too 🙂
Caitlin @ RunMimsie says
I’ve never used a pedometer before, but I’m totally curious about this one! It looks like it’s a really awesome piece of gear! I’d try to aim for as many as I can, but working a desk job, it’s not easy! Maybe a Pedometer would get me to get up and walk around more! 🙂
Chummy_Chum says
I don’t have a goal for my steps. But this FitBit deal will likely get me thinking about it more, if not obsessed with it.
Tina Judy says
I try to have a minimum of 8000, an average of 10,000 and love when I get anymore then that!! In spring/summer/fall it’s easy to reach 10K and higher. Winter in Chicago makes it a little tougher so I try to get no less then 8K.
Julie says
Ideally I’d hit that 10,000, but I’m pretty sure I get about half of that. I take public transit and have to walk a lot, though limited on time, so not THAT much.
Jackie says
10000!!!!!
Autumn says
I don’t aim for a set number of steps, I do try to do a lap around the office every hour on the hour, and exercise after work!
Kelsey @ Fueling Strong says
I have been contemplating a Fit Bit for a while. With a desk job, it’s so hard for me to get my steps.
marie says
10,000!
Kailin @ Logs and Thoughts says
I don’t have a step goal because I don’t have a step counter. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a FitBit. My sister’s mother-in-law got one for Christmas and I was jealous, jealous, jealous 🙂
Emily B says
20000!
Laura Z in CO says
I know im sitting on my butt too much. This may help me look at the numbers.
kelly says
I aim for at least 10k, excluding my runs. I wish I could track it better!
Anel says
I never really thought about my steps! I either walk my dog everyday for about 40 min or take him running with me. Now, I try not to be sitting all day and getting a little more movement between long periods of sitting.
Carly G says
10,000 a day!
abby r says
i aim for 5-8,000. i am a medical student so studying predominates my day. my workouts help me overachieve sometimes though!
Allie says
I sit in an office all day, so I’m not sure what a realistic goal is. Based on other commenters here….10,000? Can the fitbit be submerged in water? Wondering if I could wear it while swimming, canoeing, giving my son a bath….?
becca says
I have no idea…This Fitbit would be great to get me on track!!!!
Tish says
I aim for 10,000 steps but usually don’t come close during the work day!
Brandi Jeffries says
20,000. I work in a two story building, so I set my alarm to go upstairs every hour.
Kailin @ Logs and Thoughts says
That’s brilliant, Brandi! I try to at least change the floor on which I use the bathroom to get myself moving a little bit…
Becky says
At least 10,000!
alice craig says
15,000
Jenny says
I’m not sure how many steps I take, but I drink a lot of water and have to go two flights of stairs to the bathroom at work, so I’m sure that helps!
Kat says
I aim for at least 10,000 steps
Janine says
I am on my feet all day! I would love to know how many steps I am taking….been eyeballing that fitbit…forEVER
Lindsey A. says
I try to get at least 5,000 steps during my work day and 10,000 total for the day.
nicole says
As many as I can. I sit all day for work so I tried to get up at least once an hour and walk around.
Adriana @Laced Up With Lipstick says
I try to get 10,000 steps a day. Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
Camilla says
I shoot for 10,000!
Tara says
I’ve never really tracked my steps. I always forget to put the pedometer on. So a fit it would be perfect for me!
Noelle says
I’ve never counted my steps before! My iphone 5S can apparently do that for me, but it’s not like I carry that everywhere with me all the time when I’m in the office. I’d totally rock some awesome goals with a FitBit, though 🙂
mel says
over 10,ooo and that is after my morning run
Kristan says
I aim for atleast 12,000…I wear a pedometer for work and earn cash for being active, its awesome!
Shayla says
10000
Kristan says
I started reading your blog last summer and I LOVE it! I am a runner and love cooking and eating healthy and you truly inspire me that you are able to give such a balance to both!
Ashlee@hisnHers says
I dont have a way to track steps, so I dont have a goal…but I totally would if I won a FitBit 🙂
Jennifer Olszowy says
I try to get 12,000 steps daily.
Kara says
I have no clue but I would definitely shoot for at least 10,000. I always try to take a longer route to the water cooler at work to add more steps 🙂
Alyssa says
I don’t aim for a specific number. Since I have a desk job I set an alarm to make sure I get up at least once an hour and walk around the entire office for a bit. The Fitbit would help me keep track!
monica says
I aim for 2-3 miles walking in addition to my running.
Jackie E says
I shoot for the ever so popular 10,000 but having a desk job often limits me. I get up bright and early so I am able to get a workout in which helps me get off on the right foot. Of course I always opt for the stairs and parking further away from the door (when warm enough – the closer the better in this negative temp weather)!
Amy says
I aim for 10,000 but can be hard if I do bootcamp as a workout instead of a run.
jenny says
5000-10000
Erin Ellis says
I am for at least 10,000 a day. I’m also doing cross fit training. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

I try to get in over 10,000 atleast I hope I do! I run a lot so I think I should and I try not to sit much besides eating and in class during the day
Leonor says
I don’t know how many steps I take, I usually try to run 3-4 times per week.
Whitney says
I have been dying for a fitbit for a while, I hope I win!
Amanda says
I’ve been coveting a fitbit for a while. I don’t aim for steps, but I aim for intentional activity everyday.
Evey W says
I try for 10,000 but I work at a desk job so I’m far far from it! Working on changing that though
Allison says
No clue. But I’d love one of these so I could find out!
Ashley says
I have been wanting to try a fitbit so badly and the force seems like a great option!
Ashley says
Opps! I forgot my steps.. I’d like to aim for 15,00 between running and all the walking I do around work.
Haley says
I have no idea how many steps… Would be fun to find out! I usually just aim for how many miles I run.
Ashlee says
I aim for the amount of steps we’re supposed to take but I know it doesn’t happen (good ol’ desk jobs…and winter) so this might help me get moving, even if it’s laps around the hallways (stupid winter).
Lindsey says
10,000
Megan Armstrong says
I aim to move as much as possible! Chasing a 2 year old and an 11 month old around I would like to think I get 10,000 steps in! I would love a way to track it!
Frankie says
I would hope to aim for over 10,000
Amanda says
I aim for 10,000 steps a day!
nicole says
I am embarrassed to say i have NO idea how many steps I take a day, so Im not sure how many I aim for. Thats why I need this!1
Anna says
Being a teacher, I aim to try to be on my feet as much as I can, so I don’t know how many steps I am actually taking. I would love to have the FitBit to really see how many steps I am taking each day.
Serenity says
10000 is the goal. Best I’ve gotten this year is 8652
Deb says
I don’t track my steps right now. I would love to start just to see where I’m at.
Mindy says
at least 10,000
Julie says
I used to LOVE my fitbit and was addicted to checking the dashboard on my phone. I had the one with the clip … I just sort of stopped using it 🙁 This may be a better option on the wrist; I may just have to have a new one 🙂
Tessa L says
I’ve never kept track of steps but have been curious about the whole fitbit!
Emily S says
I don’t have a pedometer so I don’t know how many steps I take, but I always aim for about an hour of working out
Heather F says
This would really help me be mindful during the day about how many steps I need to take.
Crystal F. says
I don’t have a pedometer to count my steps so I don’t usually have a specific goal to meet but I do try to get up and walk around to stay as active as possible.
zoe kimberly says
I am for 12000+, but its challenging on non-running days!
Christopher Evans says
I aim for 10,000. Not always possible but I do try.

I honestly have no idea how many steps I take in a day. I hope it’s around 10,000!
Millie Jones says
I’ve been dying to try FitBit!!!!
Rachel S. says
I try to aim for 6,000-7,000 right now. Working my way up to 10K. It would be a whole lot easier to track with one of this instead of carrying my phone around.
Amber @ Mamas Blissful Bites says
I feel like the answer is 10k. I could be wrong but isnt’ that recommended? How many do I do personally? I hope to win so I can let you know!!
Linda says
10,000 I think. I’m pretty sure I do that many but it would be nice to confirm!
Sarah M. says
I’ve been wanting to try one of these too! Just so I can see how much I move around at work. I haven’t tracked my steps, only miles that I run.
Fancy Nancy says
I aim for 10K…as a teacher who is walking all over the school…I get pretty close!
kate says
5000
Fiona says
I am on my feet alot for work, but I do try to aim for 10, 000, doesn’t always happen but I do my best each day!
adina says
I aim for 10,000 each day, knowing that I probably won’t do that but try to make up for it on the weekends.
Amanda says
I aim for 8,000-10,000 steps per day. Somedays it is difficult since I have a desk job and the weather is so cold here!
Lindsay Bradford says
I would shoot for 10,000 🙂
Lindsay Bradford says
I would love to win the Fitbit! It would be great to keep track of my movement during the day since I work at a computer desk all day. It might encourage me to take more walk breaks!
Margaret B says
I aim for 10,000 steps each day. I have had a few days recently with only about 3,000 steps. Winter weather is messing with my activity levels. I would love to hibernate!
Tedi says
Since I work in a warehouse. I don’t think about my steps. I did track it one day and it came to like 8,000. I would love something to be able to track my daily working and also my runs.
Jenny says
My goal is set to 10,000 but I’m usually happy if I get at least 6,000 on a weekday (since I spend most of the day sitting in front of my computer at work). Also, I noticed in your review you said there’s no way to check your progress with the Flex. I use a Flex and while you can’t see your actual step count, you can see approximately how close/far to your goal you are based on how many of the lights flash when you tap it. So if your goal is 10,000 steps and you have 3/5 lights flash, you know you’ve gone over 4,000 steps already. My husband has the Force already and I’m jealous. Time to upgrade!
Elyse says
I aim for about 10,000. However, I currently do not have any type of pedometer. I would love to be able to use the Fitbit!
Leanne says
I love that it isn’t a bulky looking product! Would love to try it!
christi says
I aim for 10,000… but it’s hard to know for sure!
Running Librarian says
I have the fitbit one and love it. Somedays it just forces me to walk the dog one more loop to get my numbers up.
Megan says
I aim for about 10,000 steps a day, I have a little shoe pedometer that works pretty well but would love a fitbit Force!
Sara says
10,000. But I have no idea how many I actually get in. Haven’t found a pedometer that really works.
Michele says
I have no idea how many steps I take a day. I just always get in a really good workout and try to move in general. This would be awesome to see what is actually happening. And, I am really interested in the sleep aspect too.
ali says
i’ve never counted steps but i am usually on my feet all day at work so it’d be cool to see how much i actually walk!
deb says
i used to have a fit bit (lost it) – loved it. Would love one of the “fancy ones!”
Sara O says
I have never counted but with sitting at a desk all day I would hope I hit 7,000 a day. Great giveaway!!!
Laura says
My daily goal is 10,000 but that doesn’t always happen. If I workout and do a run or something I am more likely to hit my goal. I work at a desk job so I sit all day. I try to make a point of getting up and moving around. Plus for me- I work on the second floor and the bathroom is on the first so I am up and down the stairs all day long!
Kylie M-W says
I usually aim for about 12 000, but I don’t have a car so that’s usually pretty easy for me to hit!
Elizabeth @ Positive Change says
I love to get at least 10,000-12,000. I work at a pretty active job so I am always always walking.
Gaby Ryan says
10,000 or more! The more the better!
Susie B. says
I definitely try to aim for more than 10,000 since 10,000 is the minimum amount the Americans should get. But on days that I don’t get a run in, it’s sad to see that I barely make the 10,000!
You should try to UpBand by Jawbone next – it’s the best device I’ve reviewed!
jocelyn says
try for 10,000+
Laura Bonenfant says
My goal is 10,000. I am always shocked how little steps I actually take during the day at work (office job).
Julie says
10,000 a day
Heidi M says
At least 10,000 steps at the minimum
Haley S. says
10,000 would be great, but I don’t regularly track them….I would love to!
Linda says
I ‘d love to win one to see how much activity I get during the day. It would motivate me to wLk more I hope. Great give away. Thanks.
Alison W says
I work a desk job, so this would ne nice to see how much i really move!
Nikki says
10,000 but I have no idea how many I actually take!
Diane says
I have not worn a pedometer so it would be interesting to see how many steps I usually get! I usually just try to move as much as possible and get up at least once an hour when I am at my desk all day.
Jordan says
10,000 – some days are better than others 😉
molly @ heart, sole & cereal says
no idea how many steps i take but i’d love to see!
Molly says
I have never had a step counter before, but I would love to use one!
Anne says
I’d love to win! This would be a great way to motivate me to move more!!!
Hannah says
I am for 10,000 but realistically it is only the number it takes me to talk to the underground, walk to my desk, walk to the underground!
Lacy says
I have no idea how many steps I take, but when it’s not freezing out I try to walk home 3 days out of the week, which is 3 miles!
Vicky S says
I do not have anything that counts my steps all day but I try to get as many in as possible since I sit at a desk all day! I go for walks with my coworkers at lunch and it always feels great afterwards! I would love to have something to track my daily activity!
Louise R. says
Would try for 10,000 – need motivation though!!
Jessica says
I try to get in 10,000!
tracy says
15,000+ each day. Some days are easier than others. I am on my feet in the classroom all day but the area isn’t very large so not that many steps can be taken:)
Natasha Emily says
10,000 at the least… but I have no idea what 10,000 steps looks/feels like!
Stacie M says
I am on my feet and moving around all day at work…would love to know my calorie burn!
Valerie says
Aaaah! I’ve been wanting an activity tracker for a while now. I hope I win!
Jackie O says
I’ve been so curious about the new FitBit! I’ve used other pedometers that have never been correct, but have heard good things about the Fitbit and have been seriously considering one.
Abby says
I have been dying to try a FitBit! I aim for 10,000 of course but more is always better!
Kat says
I would love a fitbit! I sut all day and would really like to know what i need to do to better my daily movements! they’re just kinda pricey… 🙁
alycia wilson says
I don’t know how many steps a day I take or how many I should shoot for. In the winter I’m sure I should be taking more steps than I do.
Christine says
I aim for 10,000 steps a day but often feel I don’t get an accurate count with the pedometer app I use on my phone since I don’t always carry my phone with me. Using the FITBIT would totally solve this problem!! As a new mom who works from home I really try to get as many steps as possible in per day since dedicated workout time can be difficult. The FITBIT looks so easy to use. I’d love to try it
Allie says
I have a desk job and usually sit most of the day, but I try to do as many steps as I can. It would be awesome to be able to track it though! 🙂
Rachel says
Raises hand! 12k per day.
Allison K says
I would LOVE to win a Fitbit! I have wanted one but just haven’t made the leap yet!
Bri says
About 16,000. Love my FitBit flex but silent alarm quit on me and have been wanting to update to the Force for awhile!
Heather M says
I would love to know how much I’m walking during the day (outside of my running)! I have two little boys and am always chasing them around the house 🙂
Jennifer Drash says
I have never thought about how many steps I take in a day. Sounds like maybe I should start.
Melissa says
I have no idea how many steps I take during the day and I would be curious to know since I sit at a desk all day. I am hoping one of these devices will help me get up and move more during the day rather than just running a lunch time. I would aim to walk about 10,000-15,000 steps per day.
Losing Lindy says
I have been wanting one of these…I should take about 10,000, but have no idea how many I am getting.
Rachael says
I’ve never used one before but I got my mom a basic one for Christmas and she loooooves it. And of course now I’d love to have one too! I don’t know how many steps I take every day but, running aside, it’s probably not enough thanks to a desk job. It definitely would be a much-needed kick in the butt!
Angela @ Happy Fit Mama says
I try for at least 12,000 although it’s been quite some time that I tracked it.
Morgan says
I’ve never actually set a step goal for myself. But I have always joked about wearing a pedometer to work to count my steps. I’m a manager at a very busy, full service car wash, and I never stop moving.
Which is why I would make en excellent fitbit recipient.
Trudy in WV says
I’m just not sure how many steps I take right now, but I am on my feet a good part of the day. I’ve looked into this little tool and would LOVE to win this one. I would most definitely use it on my journey of being more active this year. Thanks for the opportunity!
Jess says
I aim for 15,000 but I am curious as to my everyday activity level spent working in a lab and caring for a toddler and newborn!
julie says
would love to use this to start tracking my ‘unintentional’ exercise, like taking the steps at work, standing as much as possible, and after dinner dog walks!
Brian says
15,000 a day
Aaryn @ Insert{Life}Here says
Umm, that is a very good question. I go to a university (walking all over campus), work at a winery (always standing), and a coffee shop (same story), and try to run when I can, so really I hope I would be taking a decent amount!
Bonnie says
I aim for 10,000 steps a day – now I’m not really sure if I do that or not 🙂
Allison T. says
I just started a new desk job, which is quite a change from my job as a teacher where I felt like I was constantly on the go. Setting a step goal will be HUGE to maintain my fitness and health. 10,000 to start!
Katie Y says
10 000!
Nadine says
I have never been one to track steps, but I would like to try! I have a desk job so my non-run days are pretty inactive overall –it would be good to have something to measure with.
Renae H. says
10,000!!!
Liane says
I aim for 10,000 to 15, 000 steps over my daily (ish) run!

I don’t really know how many steps cuz it varies on how far I run and what I do at work that day…but I prolly average 10000 without runnin
Heather F says
Wow!! I gave my dad one of these for his birthday and have wanted one since!!!

Aimee says
I’d love to try a FitBit someday!
Haley says
Thanks for the review! I am pretty active throughout the day, It would be great to know the number of steps I take 🙂

As many as I can! I’m an intervention teacher (special education) so I’m in and out of classrooms all day…I try to take as many trios and the longest ways to get more steps in…and get small breaks!! 🙂
Bri says
10,000. I have one of the very first fitbits
Kristin says
I aim for 10,000 steps per day!

I aim for at least 8000 steps.
Izzy says
I try and move at least 30 minutes a day, I aim for 10000 steps overall a day though

Amanda says
12,000 – 15,000
Bethany says
An extra 5,000-10,000 steps in addition to my running. I love fitness trackers. The more metrics the better!
Kristin Shotter says
I have the Nike fuel band and would love to upgrade to the fitbit!
Hanna says
Always 10 000 and more!
Angela says
🙂 This looks like an awesome gadget. I’m keen to get one at some point. I aim for about 10000 steps a day. I like walking 🙂
Sigrid says
I try to just be in daily activity. I’m a student and work at my desk a lot, so if it wasn’t for the running I do, I’d probably not be even slightly close to the goal of walking 10000 steps a day…
Penny Silverwood says
I’ve never used a pedometer before so I don’t have a clue how many steps I take! I try to make sure I go for a walk every lunchtime otherwise I get stuck at my desk all day long!
Penny Silverwood says
I’ve never used a pedometer before so I don’t have a clue how many steps I take! I try to make sure I go for a walk every lunchtime otherwise I get stuck at my desk all day long!
Janell Krzyzek says
I am for as many steps as possible! I work in a very spread out elementary school, live in a walkable neighborhood and try to park further away in parking lots- but I have no idea how many steps I actually get (outside of running)!
Isabel says
I have a Body Media but a few of my friends have the FitBit. I’d like to try it since you can wear it on your wrist vs having to wrap it around the upper arm (Like Body Media).
Lynn says
I have no idea how many steps I take a day and have always wanted to track my daily activity and this little gem seems like a perfect pal to do that!!!
Melanie says
I try for 10,000 a day. Lost my force 🙁
Mindy says
10,000! About half with baby is the carrier!
Dawnie says
10000!
Laura says
I try to get 12,000 a day which is pretty easy because I walk to and from work and get a run/elliptical/stairs workout in 4 or 5 days a week.
Jonelle says
I aim for 5,000 a day. Slowly working my way up.
Yuri in a Hurry says
I aim for 10K steps on average, but my main goal is to be ‘active’ for at least 1 hour a day.
Jasmine A. says
I want 10,000 steps a day…but anything above 5,000 and I am glad I did something!
Stephanie P says
I would love to find out how many floors I go up in a day. I have tons of stairs in my house! I have no idea how many steps I take though. I would love to find out with the fitbit and then beat it!
Marie says
I’m not sure about how many steps, but I usually aim to run about 20 miles a week when I’m not training for a race.
Lisa says
I don’t know. I’ve never aimed for a specific number of steps because I have no way to count them. Winning the Fitbit would help with that!
Karleen says
Since 10k steps is the norm, I like to try to push it a bit more and aim for 12k. I used to track it on my old bodybugg
Holli says
I don’t keep track currently, but I will set my goal at 12000 steps if I win!
Danielle says
I am for 10,000 steps a day!

Hayley says
My goal is 10,000
Melissa says
I don’t currently keep track, but I definitely try to walk and stay moving as much as possible during the day.

I aim for at least 10,000 everyday.
Rose says
Awesome review. I try to get in atleast 8-10K steps per day
paty says
I’ve always been curious about a fitbit. They seem to be the new “it” thing
Marisa says
I never really count, but I have a hard time sitting still. I’d like to see how many steps I take (not counting my runs!) I’m also starting a new desk job soon…I’ll definitely need to start counting the steps to stay on top of my game.
Emily says
10,000 – 12,000!
Valorie says
I’ve never kept track before, but my employer recently gave out (really cheap, cheesy) pedometers as part of a wellness challenge. I’ve enjoyed seeing how many steps I take from my car to my office and around campus but I haven’t yet worn it when I’m not at work or remembered to take it with on my runs. So uhhh, like 5000 during the work day!
sam says
I love to get in as manny as possible! I hardly ever sit being a nanny of 6 month old twins and a 4 year old! It would be nice to know how manny Im taking!
Sue says
Been walking a lot more since we moved to the new office (coz I park further) and it’ll be great to find out how much more.
Nina says
I currently have my boyfriends hand me down fitbit flex, but would love to have the force and try the new features. I’ve been aiming for 7,000 steps a day but haven’t been hitting it. Having a desk job has been difficult for my steps so I know I need to get creative in order to meet my goals 🙂
Beverly Aragon says
5,000:)
Ruthie says
I try for 10,000 – but average 8000. Just a few more steps … I know! Working on it!!
Amanda says
I haven’t paid much attention and would love this!
Kristen Herrera says
I would aim for at least 10k steps a day, but haven’t worn a pedometer in years so I’d be interested to see if I’m anywhere near that on non run days 🙂
Tara@PNWRunner says
I aim just to stay active. I try to get up throughout the day consistently. I guess perhaps 10,000 steps? I’ve never counted before. I’d love to try a Fitbit.
Ashleigh says
I haven’t had a step goal in the past, but would love to start tracking them with a Fitbit. I’d aim for 10,000 per day.
Lily says
10,000, especially if I don’t work out!
Esther says
I have never really kept track, but I am sure it would be really helpful in knowing. I feel I am pretty active with my job chasing around toddlers, and taking walks most days.
I would love to get in 10,000+ a day!
Jane says
Plz plz plz let me win this!!!!
Lindsey Upton says
I have no clue where to even begin in coming up with a step goal. 10,000? One more reason to want a Fitbit!
Kristen says
I don’t have a tracker so I just aim to move as much as possible. I know that 10,000 is the gold standard. It would be fun to see how many steps I take, especially with my regular walking route included.
Chelsey Hessen says
I don’t have a number that I aim for since I don’t own any type of tracker but i do try to make sure i get up and walk around for 5-10 minutes every hour or so during the day.
K Brady says
5,000!
Aubrey says
I have no idea so I’m curious! I aim to/have to walk to class and to work each day. (Gotta love living on campus!) I also try to walk to the other side of campus most days just to clear my head.
Falyn @ slackerrunner.com says
8000 while not running. I was using a Nike Fuelband to track my steps but it died after less than a year!
Joslyn says
I have a desk job, so steps can sometimes be hard to get in! I aim for 8,000 a day.
Lauren says
Eh I don’t count my steps so I don’t know what my goal is. 10,000 seems to be an average goal so, why not.
Ali says
I’ve never tried one of the FitBits before, but I have actually worn my Garmin around all day with the HRM and all for data collection purposes a couple times. A FitBit is much more practical!
Sandi says
10,000 is my goal.
Rachel says
I’m super curious about the FitBit. I’ve only ever heard good things!
Ashley Barrett says
I am so glad you reviewed the fit bit! I’ve been thinking of getting one lately and I just may have to after this. Thanks!
Angelina Allerton says
I aim for 10,000 steps. I work in retail and single coverage working, so I am always on my feet and always strive to get the 10,000 steps in whenever I can.
Carolyn B says
I’m surprised at how much I DON’T move on rest days, so I think 10,000 is a good goal.
Evelyn says
I aim for 10,000.
Christine says
I’ve been thinking about buying one of these since my new job at work requires more desk work. I need to move more and it would be great to track with this!
Sarah BETH says
I work with little kids, so my mileage is actually pretty impressive after all of the “chasing” that goes on! 🙂
Kendra says
10000.
Lauren says
Ahhh I’d love one of these! with an office job I try so hard to get up and move and not just sit all day…it’d be awesome to really track my steps with a legit pedometer. eight to ten thousand steps a day is the goal!
Kathy says
I always aim for 10,000. Love how the Force does so much but isn’t clunky and cumbersome!
molly says
I aim for 10,000, but LOVE the (too rare) days when i hit 15,000!
Livi says
Fitbits are so awesome! I would love to try the Force out!

Probably not a lot! Even though I’m on my feet as a teacher, I don’t do a lot of walking unfortunately.
jena says
I aim for at least 8k steps a day.
Amy says
I have a desk job with long hours, but aim for 5000 steps each day, not counting my running time.
Laura says
I’ve no idea! My job is pretty active with me walking around a store all day so I just try to stay pretty active! This would be awesome to track things a little easier though!
liz @ www.sweat-happy.com says
I am for 10,000 since that’s the recommended amount!

This would really help me in my rehab from my back injury. I would love one

I try for 10,000 but it’s usually more like 7,000

Meghan says
I aim for about 10,000 a day, but don’t do a great job tracking it!
Jen A. says
I don’t track my steps currently so I can’t say for sure but I know my mom always aimed for 10,000 so that sounds about right!
K says
Shoot for 10000!
Kristin P. says
I hope to at least hit 10,000.
Sylvia says
I shoot for 10,000 but don’t always end up there. 😉

I’ve never counted my steps but I know I don’t get enough…dang desk job!

Mary says
Haven’t ever counted steps,
But winning this would be a great place to
Start!!
Meghan says
I don’t have a goal so I guess it’s time to figure one out! I do try to talk a walk on my lunch to get in extra steps and get away from my desk.
Jessica says
I’d love to see how many steps I take a day at work: I’m a nurse so hopefully would reach the 10,000 mark!
Annemarie/Carmie says
I thought that I saw a raffle copter giveaway? I’m leaving a comment because now I can’t find it and it seems like a fun thing to do!
Annemarie/Carmie says
Found it!
Elizabeth C. says
I don’t currently count, I am mostly entering, to hopefully win it for my mom, she really would like a tracker like this!
Kelly says
I usually try to get at least 10,000 steps
Jessica B says
My goal is MORE. I used to walk a mile to and from class each day, but since I graduated and started a full time desk job it has been so hard to get walks in, especially in the winter!
Kristen says
I haven’t really every tried any activity trackers before.
Laura says
I am a PA student so I spend a lot of time sitting in class so if I can’t get in too many steps during the day besides my run but I would love to try to get more!
Lauren says
I’m not sure either! I’ve already been thinking about getting a fitbit, though; so, thanks for the review!

At least 10,000. But of course some days that is easier than others!

10,000 or more!
Lauren says
All I know is that I need tto aim for way
More. I sit at a desk all day:(

christine says
yikes! I have no idea how many steps i take…thats why i need the fitbit!

Julia G says
10,000-12,000!
Ashley says
I want a fitbit so bad!! I have no idea how many steps I get a day but probably not many!

I don’t track my steps right now (I had a cheap pedometer that broke), but I want to get 10,000 steps a day. Should be easy as a teacher 🙂
Christy says
Like everyone else, I am for 10,000…not sure how often I make it though!
Parker says
I’ve just recently started to exercise and get fit and healthy, so 10,000 is the goal i’m going for!

Bonnie says
Holy comments! 😉 Thanks for the giveaway, Monica! I shoot for the recommended 10,000 but thanks to walking to and from work as well as getting my own workout in, I think I generally get more than that. Would love to try out the Force!
Heidi S says
10,000… which gets hard when I am studying all day, so it gets me moving!
Kathryn says
I aim for 10,000 but guessing I don’t get anywhere close!
Anna says
I”m honestly not sure what an ideal goal is for steps per day, I try to keep it as active as I can… Oh a few thousand? Haha the fitbit would definitely help me be accountable for that!
Jill says
I’ve never had any equipment that tracked my steps so this is super intriguing to me! I’d love to win and see how many I take in a given day (I’m a nanny, so I’m guessing a lot!)

10,000!

It would be awesome to win a Fitbit. I stive for 12,000 steps a day 🙂
Shelby says
I have no idea what my goal would be… but I know that using the Fitbit would be sooo helpful with my 9-5 job that is all about sitting. I could use some inspiration to take a few laps around the office every hour.

10,000 steps
Rebecca says
10,000! But when I’m in the office for 10-12 hours a day I get no where near that 🙁

Shelly says
20000
[email protected] says
my goal is 10,000….but I think to make it achievable I should go for about 7,000
Kerstin says
First I have to find out how many steps I do right now. With a desk job probably not many but the force would encourage me to set a goal.
Kristin says
I hope to get 10,000 minimum (including running/working out)…today I’m at 19,542 and hopefully I can get to 20,000 (though I’m trapped in a chair with a cat on my lap, so it’s questionable!) I have a Fitbit One.
Bethany says
At least 10,000, but on days I run it is 15 to 20,000.

10,000 plus a cardio workout of some form… but I don’t keep track. I just try to stay consciously active.

I aim for 10,000!
erica says
geez i have no idea! i guess that’s why i need the fitbit force 😉
Desiree says
I always aim for 10,000 steps outside of my workouts. I am a PT and the building I work in is huge so I tend to get my steps between going to find patients and getting patients to walk more on their own! I love to talk to my patients about it too! They love to see my fitbit zip and how many steps I’ve taken for the day!
Laura says
I aim to hit 10000 steps each day.. some days are better than others!

Tamara says

I am a stay at home mom that also does Childcare at home but I don’t think I walk that much. I’m sure I move more than I think I do but that fitbit would sure come in handy to set a goal and work towards!
Kayla says
I aim for 10,000
Gabrielle @ Marathons and Macarons says
I don’t track but I’d love to start, and aim for 10K steps!

melissa says
a whole lot!!!
Shannon says
I would hope I hit 10,000, but honestly don’t know for sure.

13500 approx
Shawn Pierce says
I don’t have a fun step counter – but if I did I would shoot for 10000.
Alicia says
I aim for about 10k steps a day, but on a day I don’t run, I’m usually around 3k b/c of my job… so I have to make a lot of mental notes to take lots of walk breaks during the day, take the stairs, etc.

Emily says
I used to have a fitbit and my goal was 10,000 steps a day. I’m a teacher, so it was pretty easy to get my goal with a walk or some other activity. My fitbit (one) actually fell off one day and I haven’t had the money to replace it. I would love to win! 🙂

I’m sure I don’t walk nearly enough.

I have no idea, I’ve never even thought about how many steps I take!

Sara says
Around 8000-10000

I had a FitBit One that I received as a gift (no receipt) and it broke. Boo. I’ve been lost without it! I had it set for 10,000 steps per day but it’s sometimes hard to get there. I’m dying for a Force!
Kathy says
I got one for Christmas and I only need to charge it about every 5 days….love that!!! And it’s super quick to charge. I like the watch/and the simple vibration once I have hit the 10,000.

I’ve never counted my steps – but I try to run/walk in addition to having an active job. I’d love to try the fitbit!

Alex says
Def 10,000 – I try 🙂
Erin says
I don’t track my steps but I run most mornings so I likely get them in that way… It would be interesting to start tracking my non-running steps. I’d probably be pretty disappointed!

8,000! Hard sitting in class.
Michelle says
I aim for 10,000 steps a day. Thanks for the opportunity to try a fitbit force!

Michelle B says
I aim for 5,000 walking steps each day since I also cycle to and from work and run. I figure with all of that extra activity, I should have the equivalent of the recommended 10,000. Right? 🙂
Would so love to actually track it all though. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Melanie says
I would say maybe 3000 steps a day would be a goal for me!

around 10 000 everyday I think…It would be more accurate with the fitbit! hehe

Moira says
I dont track my steps I try to get up walk around as much as I can.

I try to for 10,000-12,000 a day.

Michelle g says
I don’t count but I’d like to start!
Kristen says
I don’t track but I run a lot.
Karen says
5000 for walking, on top of my runs if I can. It doesn’t always work out but ideally I’m a walking fool.

I actually don’t even know how many steps I get per day but it would be nice to know with a Fitbit!!

10,000
Leslie says
I aim for 10,000 steps.

PS – Your voice sounds so different than I imagined! Loved the video!
Lora says
I aim for 10,000 just cause that is the number I always hear you should strive for…..I am 37 weeks pregnant and I am hoping to increase that number after the baby is born to counteract all the time I know I am going to be sitting on my butt nursing those first couple weeks.
Anna @ ThatDAMMRunner says
I have NO idea how many steps I take a day! I would love a fitbit to help monitor this. Fingers crossed!!!

10,000!
Olive N says
I would aim for 10000 steps a day !
Toni says
10,000!!!

I haven’t tracked for a long time but it would be great to do so. I work at 2 hospitals and am on my feet the majority of the day.
Kam says
I don’t have a specific number, just as many as possible!
Katie Contests says
I have no idea! I don’t even know what’s a good amount of steps. Whatever is average, that’s what I aim for XD
abby says
I dont count steps actually…but w her I used to work one of the nurses wore a pedometer and found out we would walk/run up and down the halls for about 4 miles a day!!! It was exhausting 😉
Ethos Adventures says
I’ve been interested in trying the fitbit for a while. I mostly play outside so there aren’t machines spitting constant results at me which is both nice and leaves a bit curious. I can only imagine how competitive I will get with myself once I get a fitbit!
Suzi says
My goal is 10k a day & most days I hit it!
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties says
I don’t track my steps but I’d aim for 10,000!
Erika says
I don’t have a pedometer so I don’t know how many steps I take a day, I do however try to stay active 4 times a week.
Kristen says
At least 10,000 steps a day!
Heather says
I have not counted my steps before and would love a tracker to do so.

We got my mom the green fitbit for Christmas. I would love to get this one so we could have a family friendly competition everyday!
Keley says
I try for 10k…but it is hard some days.
Elena says
I tried a pedometer app once, but got kind of wacky results. I’m a teacher and feel like I walk quite a bit, but really have no idea. I think that the Fitbit could definitely be a motivating tool for me since I love data! 🙂
Ali says
I try to walk as much as possible!
Bo says
I have secretly been eyeing these since Christmas. My activity level is all over the place from day to day, I would love see the data!

I know I don’t get the recommended 10,000 most of the time but this fitbit would be a great motivator!
Elizabeth says
I aim for 10,000 steps a day!
Beth says
I don’t have any sort of pedometer so I don’t really know. I have a garmin for my runs, but nothing for the rest of the day. I would LOVE one of these. Thanks you!!
Heather says
10,000 per day
Amy says
Since I am a reading specialist, I spend my day traveling all over the school. So…I think I will aim for 7000 steps!
Theresa says
I just got a Fitbit Flex last week! I’m obsessed. I’ve found that it’s really motivating to be more active. I’ll go out for a walk, or go on a longer run if I haven’t met my daily goal. Now my boyfriend wants one to so we can compete! 🙂
Courtney @The TriGirl Chronicles says
I’ve always been super curious about my step counts and have quite a few friends who have a Fit Bit. I would love this!
Emily S says
10,000 but I have no idea how many I walk per day!
Denise says
With two little ones running around I feel like I must take a million steps a day 😉
Amy says
I know I should aim for 10,000, but I work in a lab and its hard when I’m sitting for hours on end. I usually have to workout to meet it.
Kerri A says
I had a Fitbit Flex (until my husband ran it thru the washing machine. Ya.)
and it does sorta tell you where you’re at during the day. If you tap it there are lights that light up. Each light is 20% of your goal and there are 5 lights. SO, if your goal is 10,000 steps and you tap it and 3 lights flash then you know you’re somewhere around 60% of your goal. It’s not a super accurate indication, but it gives you a ball park.
I’d sure love to have the Force!! 🙂
(and it would get my hubby out of the doghouse! win-win!!)
Sara Denman says
The goal is 10,000 but I always try to get more. The most I’ve gotten since December is 20,000 in one day.
laura z says
I shoot for 10,000!
Lauren says
10,000 seems to be the magic answer. I’ll go with that. : )
Summer @Running with Pixies says
I know I should aim for 10,000, but being a homeschool mom I know I never get that many
Casey Mitchell says
I try for 10,000-12,000 a day! With a toddler, I do just about that too! 🙂
itzia says
at the very least 10,000 steps.
Melissa says
10,000 but not sure where I’m at!

I am for about 3 miles if possible!

I try and keep moving all day, hoping I do 8,000!
Lea says
Super cute YouTube review; you’re adorable! Don’t really have a number but always on the move. Would be interesting to see exactly how many.
Cat B says
I aim for 10,000 steps but I do wear a fitbit zip all day to see total activity (including workouts) and get an estimation of calories burned. I sync it to MyFitnessPal.
Lori says
10,000 a day
Katie D. says
I aim for 10,000 but I doubt I get them all each day…
callie b. says

Ashleigh says
I know I should aim for at least 10,000 but it’s probably a lot less than that. I have no idea, that’s why I would love to win a FitBit!
Dana Joost says
10,000 would be awesome!
Meg says
As many as I can- I work a desk job and set a reminder every hour to get up and move a little. It helps break up my work day.
Melanie says
Monica your China pix were amazing and I love reading your blog everyday. I hope the blog hasn’t taken a toll on your personal life with Ben. I noticed no ring on your finger 🙁

I aim for 10k steps per day but often fail due to my office job! Boo!
Kaylie says
Truthfully? I’ve never counted! My mom aims for 10,000 and she has the Jawbone Up.
Emily @SinfulNutrition says
I try to aim for time instead of steps each day. Since I have a desk job, an hour a day is pretty good for me. Thank you for the giveaway!
Deniz says
I try to reach over 10,000 a day. Some days are more of a challenge than others especially since my IT band has been acting up 🙁
Patti says
I aim for 10,000 per day
Angie says
I strive to get 10,000-12,000 steps per day

Lindsay K says
I shoot for 10,000 steps per day.
Katie says
I don’t aim for a certain number of steps right now, so this would be great to win!
Caitlin F. says
I run a lot, but I also have a desk job. I know I’m sitting a lot more than I should be. I have no idea how many steps I take. This fitbit would be awesome.
Steph F. says
I don’t currently track my daily steps (other than miles run via my Garmin!) but would love to start using a FitBit. I work outside at my girls’ school as a recess supervisor and always wonder how much exercise I really get on the job!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
As many as I can get. But I sit in school all day so it is hard!
Caitriona says
I don’t know how many steps I take but I walk to work so that helps!

Megan K. says
I aim for 10,000 steps a day!

My sister and my mom both have a fitbit and I need to get on board because they look like they have so much fun tracking and comparing their steps! I try to get between 15-20,000 (but that’s also with running!)
Veronica says
I’ve never had a goal for steps before- but if I win this I may start! 🙂
Monica Q. says
No specific goal because I don’t have a tracker but just try to move as much as possible in a day.
jen says
I try for 10,000 steps. I only use the pedometer app on my phone but I’m always walking around without it so it’s not accurate.
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
10000 steps!
Janice says
10,000 steps a day. I’m starting a new job on Monday and it’s more sedentary than I’m used to. So I have some personal goals to keep me going.
Sarah says
Whoops, I just went back and it allowed me to enter! I aim for the usual recommendation of 10,000 steps a day. Books on tape for life.

I’d love to have a FitBit! I’m a server at a restaurant, so there’s tons of walking back and forth .. I’d aim for 900-11,000 steps!
Amy says
I’m not really sure how many steps I should aim for, maybe 10,000? This would be such a great fitness gadget to win!
Melissa Lau says
I don’t keep track or have a goal. I work at a job where I am at a desk for the majority of the day so this would be perfect for me to get an estimate!
Kristina says
I always try to hit 10,000.
TiffanyLynn says
Awesome giveaway!! It would definitely be interesting to see how far I travel just with day to day activities!
Sarah says
I tweeted here: https://twitter.com/sojourner_cafe/status/426128686450872320 and am commenting to enter the contest but when I try to enter it says something along the lines of “aw shucks, we didn’t get your entry” 🙁
runeatrepeat says
Roger 🙂
Brienne says
At least 10,000 since I have to walk to all of my classes (or anywhere other than my dorm!)
Nan says
At least 10,000, more on the weekend.
Meg says
I have no idea! I walk around a school all day and run in the morning but I have never tracked it!
Tori says
I don’t keep track of steps, but try to walk 3 miles on top of whatever I get running around taking care of my house/chores/kiddo.
Stacy E says
Goal- 10,000 step a day
Natalie says
On a uni day this must be ~10000, a lab day waaay more with all the running around trying to find everything!! But I don’t have a tracker so I’ve got no way of knowing- not very scientific!! 🙁
Caroline says
When I used to wear a pedometer to work I found that I get only a little more than 1,000 steps by 5 pm via my job. I’m not sure how many steps I get now (with exercise, etc…) but I would LOVE to get 10,000
Rachel A. says
I don’t currently track my steps but I’d like to think that I hit 10k often between running and teaching kindergarten.
Debbie says
I want to use it to track how I sleep!
Becca says
I actually have no idea how many steps I aim for each day. I work from home but feel like I am up and moving quite a bit. I would love to have. FitBit to track my steps!!!
Nicole says
I am force 10,000. Every once in a while I will track my steps for a few days to see if I am moving enough!
Kim N says
Ideally 10-12k. But at least 7k since I have to wear a pedometer for work and 7k gets me 60 points vs 20 points a day on days I can’t get at least 30-45 minutes of running in.
Maura says
12,500 steps is my goal! I have a pretty sedentary job, so I always try to make up an excuse to get up and move around the office, walk outside, etc.
sarah pavis says
I dont know how many to aim for since I dont have anything to track it. I have actually been looking into getting onebof these!!
Yanet says
have never had a pedometer, hope I win 😉
chicomegz says
I’d like to believe I take 10,000 step a day, but I am probably not. I have been looking at all the reviews trying to find the best fitness tracker, Fitbit is pretty high on my list 🙂
Amy says
I’ve never kept track, but I hope I’m above 10,000 (I’m a nurse, so I’m on my feet a lot!) I have been debating whether or not to buy a FitBit, so I would love to win this!
Susanna says
I am not sure how many steps I would want to hit… What’s the norm? I am excited it would help me want to get up and move more at work!
Kate says
Great review! I’ve been debating if I should get one of these and which one makes the most sense for me. This one sounds awesome!
Pamela S says
10k a day is my goal, but I am aiming for 15k a day
Lindsay says
10,000 steps is the number I have heard most as the magic daily number so that is my goal. It’s hard to reach in the winter but I try!
Charline says
I have no idea how many I already take, so just aim to move every day… whatever I have time for. I think this would be a great incentive to move more…
Lisa@runningoutofwine says
I have never tracked my steps, so I think it would be really interesting to see how much I walk during the day. I am moving around quite a bit at work, but I would like to be able monitor my activity each day!
Grace says
I have no idea but run around after 26 pre schoolers so I imagine a fair few! I’m training to do a sixty mile walk to lose weight and raise money for a dog charity in my home town so would take all recommendations on pedometers/ walking kit 🙂
amanda says
I had the fitbit that clipped on your pants and I washed it 🙁 I miss it dearly and I always aimed for 15000 steps each day and at least 10 floors.
Kristin says
Great giveaway–thank you!
britt says
you know if I guessed how many i acutally do per day (outside of my workout) I’d say well under the 10000 recommended, but i think a 10,000 is a great goal. I’ve never tracked my steps so I couldn’t guess how close to reality I am
Jacqui says
I have no idea how many steps I take a day and that’s one of the many reasons I’ve been looking into a FitBit. Right now my goal is to lose 5lbs and I’ll reward myself withone, but if i could win one then the 5lbs would be easier to lose!
Stefanie E. says
I aim for general mileage since I’m at a desk most days, but this would def help me track total steps in the day. I have been dying to try!
Caroline Porter says
I don’t have a clue as to how many steps to aim for per day… Am I the only one who’s never tried to keep track?! Guess I really DO need one of these things!
Crystal Ocegueda says
Lately I have been really thinking about getting a fitbit. I am a runner and use my garmin for runs but I would love something to track my daily steps and the sleep component is super cool. I have also heard that you can connect it with myfitnesspal which would be awesome for me because I use that to count my calories.
Great giveaway!
Crystal Ocegueda says
Oops I forgot the steps… I have no idea but from everyone else’s comments I would say 10,000 steps!
EB @ Running on E says
I’m very active at work so I would say 15,000 on an average day.
Sage says
I love to walk and aim for around 12,000-14,000 per day!
Taylor says
I aim for at least 6,000.
When I run I get over 10,000, but I do a lot of strength usually which doesn’t amount to a lot of steps. Commuting to school doesn’t make it easy either 🙁
Zana says
I aim to get at least 10,000
Misty says
I shoot for around 5,000 but I know I should get more – desk job.
Scallywag says

I aim for at least 10,000 steps a day.
Erika says
Not much these days as I am glued to a desk studying for my physical therapy licensing exam– but I get in a TON on running days!
heather says
I have thr fitbit one and I love it but have been looking for this one. I aim for 15-200008 steps on average per day.
Angela says
No clue- I walk my dog several times a day and always wonder if I’m getting the recommended 10,000 steps..
Lindsey B says
I don’t count my steps – I try to get a workout in and to walk to all of my meetings if possible, but I have to drive on my commute. I’d love to count and the force would make it possible!
Diane says
10,000
Kimberly says
I don’t have a number. I just try to stay consistent with my workouts and then chase the kiddos around!

Ali C says
7,500 outside of my runs:)
Maddie says
I honestly don’t know how many steps I take on an average day, so not sure how to set a goal. Hope to find out if I win the FitBit!! 🙂

I work at a construction site and would love to know how much I walk on site visits. Thanks!

Charlotte says
I am for 10,000 steps a day!

Ashley says
I normally aim for 10,000 steps per day.
katie says
No number, I am on my feet ALL day!
Lisa says
Love the picture of the fitbit and garmin on one wrist! it’s like bangel bracelets for the endurance athlete!

i have no idea…i need one of these so i can calculate my steps, lol! i just signed up for my first marathon and would love to have one 🙂 thanks for the giveaway!
AmyC says
I shoot for the 10,000 😉
clare @ fittingitallin says
10,000 is my goal!
Jenny says
I don’t really aim for steps, just for running.
Jenny says
Super cool!
Tess says
I’m a teacher, so I walk a lot in the school, and am honestly not sure how many steps I log – I had one ill-fated attempt at a pedometer app (killed my phone) that told me I got 2 miles in before lunch – and I barely left my classroom.
Mary @ RunWalkLift says
I don’t track my steps, but I am curious to see what my activity is through the rest of the day. Some days I do the stairs more than 20 times and other days we play on the floor and move very little. It would be a great tool to have.
Christina says
I am for at least 8,000 a day, I would love to get 10,000
Kelsey says
Very cool, thanks for sharing! I’ve been eyeing the FitBit because I really want to keep track!
Jaclyn says
I aim for 10,000. This probably only happens 5/7 days a week. Not too bad.
Hayley says
I aim for 70,000 steps a week. I like this way better since on average it is 10K a day but then when I have a low day it is nice to be able to make it up over the next few days.
Jamie says
10,000
Megan says
I don’t have a specific number of steps to aim for because I don’t have a way to track it but I’ve been thinking about getting a Fitbit for that reason since I’ve been seeing them all over lately! I just try to add as much activity into my workday as I can and not sit too long at each time
Alex says
I try for 10,000 but I usually need a run in to hit that!

10,000

I try 10,000 but it doesn’t always happen.
Rui Ribeiro says
I usually do 10 to 12k
Allison says
I just try to stay active and if I feel like I have been sitting too long, I take my dog for a walk.
Harsha @ Healthy Cooking 'N' Fitness says
I typically aim for 10,000 – 15,000. Its difficult some times as i have desk job. This fitbit flex is perfect as i know how far I am for my goal of the day and try to move more.
Rhonda says
I try for 10,000, but it doesn’t always happen.
Kim says
I love, love, love my Fitbit Flex. I bought it as a little Merry Christmas to me gift. A big plus for me is that I can use it inside on the treadmill, especially since running in -23 temps just isn’t my thing. I’m also a wee bit competitive and really enjoy it when I hit my goal before my boyfriend reaches his goal…I’ve even been known to hop back on the treadmill after a run if I see that a few more hundred ste
Nicole says
Since I’m working full time/studying for my CPA the rest of my spare time I try to shoot for 7,000 steps (days I don’t run makes this hard to hit!)
Abi@AbsofSteel says
I know your supposed to aim for 10,000 but my goal is probably more realistically around 4000-6000. On run days however, I usually do 10,000 plus so it evens out in the end.
Becky says
10,000+. My husband has a fitbit and loves it – I would love one too!
Andrea P says
I have been wanting a Fitbit for awhile now, so this would be awesome! I try to move as much as possible and honestly have never counted steps I take during the day. I always park far away from store entrances, take the stairs, and do whatever I can to walk more. Would love this!
lauren says
I’ve been looking at the fit bit. Do you like the force or flex better?
Charlotte says
I would love to know. I rarely sit on my job.
Courtney says
I have been looking at fitbits for awhile now cause I do want to know how many steps I take. I walk to work, run, and walk dogs so I would guess at least 10,000??
Elizabeth says
I just try to get up at least once an hour (I should probably try for more) from my desk but it’s so hard! I have to walk to public transportation every day so I bet that helps me. I’ve been looking for a pedometer so maybe this is the one for me!
Micaela Holland says
With my job at a desk, I try to move as much as possible but it’s difficult!
SaraRM says
Great review, thanks for posting!
Beth says
I try to take between 10,000 – 15,000 steps a day
tiffany says
ah i’d loveeee one! i work out and run, but for the rest of the day i guess i’m kinda stagnant. it would be interesting to know!
Sara says
I have no idea how many steps I take or how many I want to take. It’s be interesting to find out how many I take now.
Steven says
10000
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
I haven’t counted steps so I wouldn’t even know where to start but I think it would be interesting to track since I’ve been working from home to ensure I’m moving enough throughout the day. 🙂
Raechel S says
I know its supposed to be 10,000, but usually if I can get in 3 miles, I’m happy.
Katie says
I aim for 10,000 a day!
Jen says
I’ve never tracked steps…I would probably go for 10,000!
Shelley says

Claire says
I never watch how many steps I take, so I would be super interested to know how many I do! I’m a college student, so I wonder how many steps I take walking everywhere haha:)
Maricela says
5,000 steps, I know is low but I’m just starting.
Maricela says
5,000 steps, I know is low but I’m just starting.
Sheena says
I don’t have a fitbit so I don’t know a current count but I try to move as much as my baby legs will take me! I have a desk job and commute 4 hours a day so I sit A LOT. I have to counter that with some movement!
Maricela says
5,000 steps, I know is low but I’m just starting.
Maricela says
5,000 steps, I know is low but I’m just starting.
Kelly M says
I aim for 10,000!
JessG says
I aim for 8,000 to 10,000 but really just try to find ways to move more in general throughout the day. I am really looking for something to keep me motivated to move through the rest of my pregnancy and of course after!
Cheryl says
I work as a children’s librarian so it’s tempting to be sitting all the time when I’m in the office. I make a point of standing at the public desk so I’m constantly walking around. I try and walk as much as I can–having a device like this would help me push harder to walk more.
Aimee - funfitgirl says
I don’t count :/ I just try to get my run in before work, walk during lunch break and 2 walks with the pooch a day.

I have never really tracked my steps but I am guessing around 7,000, Would love to win to know exactly how many and build up to 12,000 🙂

Jackie Rosenfeld says
7,000 – 10,000
Mariah says
Is it sad that I don’t count? I like to run, so I’m sure I get plenty of steps in that way, but I don’t count the rest of the day because I work a desk job. I should start though!
Rachael P says
I’d love to have a fitbit!!
Ashley C says
I really don’t know how many I take, not as many as I should! I’d like to be in the 800-900 range!
demureprincess7(at)gmail(dot)com
Erin says
I have no idea! Maybe that’s why I need a Fitbit 🙂
Becca says
Honestly I don’t really have a step goal or have any idea how many I do… A reason why I am entering this giveaway. 🙂
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
I aim for 10 000 a day – definitely important because I work at home, which makes it a little more difficult!
Kelly.kilian says
Since I sit at work all day it would be nice to see on averag how many steps I take.
My goal would be between 8,000 and 10,000
Erin says
I’ve never counted, so I have no idea how many! Maybe this is why I need a fitbit 🙂
Cate says
I just found the new Polar Loop (similar to a Fitbit) at Marshall’s for $79.99. I don’t know how much it retails for, but I assume around $95-100. Just thought I’d share in case anyone is in the market. They also had a few different heart rate monitors.
Shannon says
I don’t know how many steps I should aim for! Yikesz
Meghan says
10,000
Hayley says
I am for 10,000+
Amanda says
I aim for the usual 10,000. I really just try to move more overall.
Erin says
When I used to wear a pedometer I would shot for 10,000 which is hard some days! But when I get a run in, that’s no problem. I loved the sleekness of this bracelet.

I have used the Force since Nov and I love it. I leave it on all the time but don’t use the tracking as I prefer my Garmin 910XT for that. I have logged over 16 million steps over the last few years with Fitbit products. My daily goal is 12,000 steps and 10 floors every day.
Leah Hart says
10,000 is my goal!
Patty T says
I aim for 10,000. Doesn’t always happen, but I try.
Cearley Fontenot says
2000
Jillian says
Honestly, I just try to move as much as I can. I work a desk job, so it’s not always easy!
Valerie says
10,000-12,000
