Finding Your August Average:

  • Android: Google Fit app → Browse data by date range
  • Fitbit: Fitbit app → Today → Steps → Tap the graph for monthly view

Click on that link and it fills in on your app. Bottomline- we will send you a UNIQUE CODE after you have paid. it may take a bit, as this is a manual process for us.
Connect: Sync with your fitness tracker (Apple Watch, Fitbit, Oura, Garmin, etc.)
Test: Make sure your steps show up before September 1st
Important: You must sync your steps by midnight daily to stay current
Fun: Send messages to each other in the app – click on person name (not picture) and at bottom Cheer, Nudge, Taunt (be nice!) with AI generated messages or send your own.
