| 0:00.0 | Hi friends, it's a beautiful morning here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I'm out for a nice long walk. |
| 0:07.5 | I'm having any particular goal in mind. I'm going to get back to the house. I'll check and see how many steps I got, how many miles I walk. |
| 0:14.4 | That's not all I'm going to be looking at because my Fitbit, your Fitbit, actually does so much more than simply count steps and convert them into distance. |
| 0:24.4 | And these features are powerful. |
| 0:27.4 | They can really change your health today and in the future. |
| 0:33.1 | Now, if you're not aware of all your Fitbit does, no worries, because that's what we're going to be talking about in this week's Walking is Fitness podcast. |
| 0:41.0 | So if you're ready, I'm just enjoying this beautiful, slightly breezy morning, and I don't even want to get back to the house. |
| 0:48.9 | I just want to keep on going. |
| 0:51.5 | But thanks so much for listening. Let's get started. |
| 1:06.5 | Are you using your Fitbit to its fullest advantage? I have the Fitbit Inspire HR and recently got to know my own device a little better to see what I'm missing. Let's start with the functions that I was |

| 1:19.1 | reason I got my first Fitbit and remains the most important feature for me. Since January 2nd, 2013, |
| 1:25.9 | a Fitbit is tracked almost all of my steps. In fact, I can count on one |
| 1:30.1 | hand the number of times I wasn't wearing my Fitbit for an extended period, and I count that in |
| 1:36.4 | hours, not days, those times when I wasn't wearing it because I either lost it, it stopped working, |
| 1:43.7 | and I immediately bought a new one |
| 1:45.4 | or I forgot to wear it. Tracking my steps taps into a strong desire I have to compete with myself |
| 1:52.2 | every day. That motivation combined with an equally strong desire to age well makes this feature |
| 1:58.9 | truly life-changing. If my Fitbit did nothing else but track steps, |
| 2:03.8 | I'd still wear it all the time. But it does so much more. Heart rate. This is my second |
| 2:10.3 | favorite Fitbit feature. While it's not as accurate as a chest strap heart rate monitor, |
| 2:15.6 | it's pretty darn close. The goal of cardio exercise, like walking, |
