[SportsandRec] Looking for a Fitbit and questions about exercise apps?

Thu Jan 30 20:30:57 UTC 2020

I realize that the subject was missing a keyword. I have the Fitbit flex two, but I am looking for a new band for it. Our use the Fitbit app, and it tracks my exercise. When I am looking for our accessible for Lee workout apps including one for walking and climbing stairs. Specifically walking indoors. Is where I live and work walking outdoors isn’t as easily done.

Also, do you find it worth having the Fitbit premium app or are you just a satisfied with regular Fitbit? How accessible is Fitbit coach? Is there a way to set it for indoor walking? I see an option for outdoor walking, but where I’m at isn’t as conducive to that. If you don’t recommend Fitbit coach, are there other apps thatencourage walking and using the stairs inside?
