Why I want to throw my fit bit in the garbage!

I received  a free fit bit about a month ago as part of a wellness program. I was so excited to get one and try it out. I quickly found lots of friends to compete with and worked hard to get to the top of the leaderboard. It confirmed what I already knew; my job is very sedentary. I spend most of my time driving and only walk a few steps to a patients home to do therapy with them. On a good day I might get 2 miles in while I'm working. When I get done working I typically do some sort of exercise. On the days I run I love my fit bit! I'm kicking butt and taking names in the fit bit world. But the problem is some times I can't run so I do T25, PiYo, spinning, RIP, STEP, or Insanity. My fit bit does count steps for STEP, but doesn't count ANYTHING ELSE. The other day I did an hour of Insanity followed by an hour of RIP (lifting weights). Here's what my fit but showed.....

All I get for that hard work is 16 minutes and 2.4 miles?!? I know, I know I can log this manually but it doesn't change my overall "steps for the day" which is the only thing the leaderboard takes into account. So it's a blow to me to look and see myself in the 10th place spot or lower almost every day. I mean it's not the end of the world, but it makes me look lazy which I am not (most days 😀) 

So here's my take on the fit bit. It's great and motivating if you get most of your exercise from walking and running. If you are like me and do a variety of other forms of exercise it can leave you feeling inadequate.  It's great for someone who is just entering into a healthier lifestyle and needs something to motivate them. I do really like the sleep tracker though. It's very interesting to see how restless I am in the night.  It also can track water intake and calories consumed which is nice, but I prefer My Fitness Pal for my calorie tracking.

Do you have a fit bit? What do you think of it?
