DH was given a free Fitbit.

He has given it to me as he does not take exercise, whereas I go running. A bit.

Please tell me what clever things I can measure with it. It's a Fitbit Alta.

Thanks

One of my favourite things with my fitbit is the challenges you set up with friends. Brings out the competitive streak in me Some on my friends list are actual friends and some are from mumsnet.

Thanks bee.

Don't think I know anyone else with one though!

I have read the manual, I'm just interested in hearing how other people use them in real life. I know serious runners look down on them a bit & prefer Garvin - but I'm not a serious runner.

Anyway, according to the Fitbit I ran 3.7k this morning and didn't sleep very well last night (which i already knew!)

I have the Fitbit ionic, I love it because it tracks my swimming as well as running. I am obsessed with my sleep and it's quality! I often take part in the workweek challenges with colleagues or people I know - love it. My husband has a Garmin and we are quite competitive so always compare steps and calorie burn at the end of the day!
