Just got the fitbit

Is this close to accurate readings? in some challenges I see ppl with crazy numbers in the weekly and monthly challenges

[DominicJ]

Some people walk a lot.

I have a friend who jogs the ten miles to work and back most days.

[Paradise555]

I find it pretty accurate. I think getting 10000+ steps in a day is crazy but hey it is dueable.

[DominicJ]

The kicker is people who have onsite parking against those who dont.

If you park a mile from work (or get a train at a station a mile from it) hitting ten thousand steps is easy, if you park 50m from your office, its a lot trickier

But a million steps in seven days is mind boggling to me

It's pretty much impossible, unless you don't stop to sleep. Some people do find ways to cheat. It's silly. You'll find most people tend to get 5,000 - 15,000 steps per day.

True.  Even at my old job, I was walking 15-20 miles per day, every day, and that still would have only been 30,000 to 40,000 steps for me.

I can see much higher step counts occasionally.  But... every day?  Not likely.

Either way - it's their issue, not mine.

I run 10,000 steps an hour

A million in a week would be a push, but I can certainly see it happening, 30,000 is my daily record, but I dont really compete about it

At 10,000 steps an hour that would be more than 14 hours a day, 7 days in a row. I am not saying it would be absolutely impossible for an extraordinary athlete to do that a few times a year, but it sure wouldn't be common, and I don't believe anyone could keep that up, or anything like that, day after day!
