Step up and start counting those steps!

                The fitness committee wants you to join us and count your steps! We have a few different platforms we like to use, but we’re going to try to narrow it down to one place that will log our steps and tell us how close we are to our coworkers in steps/minutes active.

                We will be using Countit.com to compare our stepage. (that’s a real word. Don’t google it. Just trust me.) Countit is cool because it allows you to use your fitness tracker you already have (fitbit, apple watch, Garmin and even just your cell phone) to count steps.

                So, the process to sign up and join in our little group of steppers.

1^st: Go to this link, https://www.countit.com/#/create?company_id=804aaeb5-ff49-4771-91ce-f149630f2e98

2^nd: Sign up/sign in to your countit account. 

3^rd: Connect your phone/tracker app/device so that you get credit for all those steps!

4^th: Walk!

Some general tips and tricks.

If you don’t have an activity tracker, that’s no big deal. There is an application on iOS and Android called Moves. It is free and will link with count.it. Beware, it may not be as accurate as a fitness tracker, but it’ll at least give you an idea.

Have fun and don’t take this too seriously. This is to get everyone up and active, not discourage people! Can’t wait to see everyone’s steps!

Also, if you have a fitbit account, it may not let you connect on the work computers. (Phone/home computer would be best.)


UPDATE: I have discovered that this not only counts your steps, but counts other exercise as well and then gives you a "Countit number" with your score! So make sure you're logging all your exercise!
