Arthritis support

Something I've noticed is lacking in Fitbit Premium is support for those of us with arthritis or other chronic pain conditions. Yes, there are a couple of workouts that can be used by people with a disability; however, some of us can only do low impact activities and it would be nice to have a wider range of videos targeted towards like armchair workouts or light activities. 

In addition, pretty much all of the challenges are useless. For example, I can't walk 1km to the shops, so having steps challenges is worthless to me. The only one useful is where I can 'set my own' active zone minutes challenges. As for the Bingo? That's laughable for people with chronic pain. I  would be doing the board solo, but I could never hope to hit one of the tiles.

 

It would just be nice for Fitbit to acknowledge that people with chronic pain can have a real need to get fitter and healthier. Fitbit is an excellent tool for this journey, but it's really skewed towards much more active people.
