10 years ago, I started a program through work that \u201cencourages you to track your steps and help you to focus on your fitness in a simple and accessible way.”\u00a0 They gave us a tracker, which attached to your shoe and used “an accelerometer to accurately calculate the number of steps, distance walked, calories burned and time of activity.\u201d\u00a0 I received that first tracker 10 years ago today.\u00a0 After a little more than 3 1\/2 years, the program shut down and I finished with a little more than 6.5 million steps.\"\"<\/a>That same week, I ordered my first Fitbit, looking to continue tracking my steps.\u00a0 Which worked out well, at least until last March when the global pandemic caused by the corona virus shut everything down.<\/p>\n
