According to the Economist, some American companies have begun offering rewards to employees who log a million steps a year on an activity tracker such as a Fitbit.

Even that, however, seems to be beyond many. ‘Some workers have reportedly strapped their Fitbits to their dogs to boost their activity scores,’ the Economist noted.
