[Sportsandrec] How many steps are you getting in a day?

Tue Sep 8 13:25:48 UTC 2015

If you do not use a phone with Bluetooth you can still use an activity tracker like FitBit and sync it with your computer to get information. This does not require internet. You do have to have internet for the initial program download  but there may be a work around for that.
