The Importance of 10K Steps

About thirteen months ago, I bought a FitBit. I had tried a couple of different devices to count my steps (and calories burned and distance walked, etc.), but it was the FitBit that finally was the perfect device for me. I loved the Ultra (now called the One), but the FitBit Zip is the best choice for me because it runs on a watch battery and I don’t have to charge it (which used to mean I would walk off and forgot to wear it so it wasn’t counting my steps).

It has been my goal ever since I go...
