Increase or customize hourly activity goal from 250 steps/hour

[cookiem66]

It would be really cool to have the option to increase the reminder to move minimum count.  Currently, the reminder to move is set to 250 and I would really like the option of raising that number as my activity increases.

I cannot set a higher step goal than 250 per hour and set reminders to attain my goals. Twice an hour would be ideal so at least we'd have reminders to get 250 steps every 30 minutes.

Every hour we are reminded to get our 250 steps in, I would like to be able to increase that number to maybe 350 or 1,000. I don't see why its automatically set to 250 and why we users can't adjust that to our personal use.

To reach my daily goal, I need to walk more than 250 steps each hour (it's 800 steps). If I happen to get a reminder to move and then finish my steps after the hour, I don't get a reminder to move that next hour. If I could edit the number of steps in my hourly goal from 250 to 800, I would be much more likely to reach my daily step goal.

I would like to be able to customize my hourly step goals to more than 250/hour. It would also be nice to change the reminders from one reminder 10 minutes before the hour to multiple reminders and different reminder times.

Please give us the option to choose a custom step goal amount for our Hourly Activity reminders, 250 is too low for me.

Have the user set it up in the dashboard in the Reminders to Move. At a pull-down that has multiple options, such as 00, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 45, 50, or random to make things interesting. Secondly, have the user enter her the amount of steps depending on the goals. Default could be 250 per hour, or the user can enter in 500, 1000, whatever.

I am disabled with four herniated discs. Walking is a very important part of my daily routine to keep moving. However i cannot do alot of walking at one time. So your hourly activity goal is a plus. But i would love to incease the 250 to meet my needs to get to 10000 in 14 hours. Currently i use my notes showing me what’s needed

[DavideFitbit]

Hi @bazb92958, thanks for sharing your suggestion about the possibility of increasing the hourly step goal or having the option to customize it. I noticed this feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here. This helps to keep the forums more organized and prevent the vote from splitting into multiple ideas. 

I have 3 herniated discs too, and I know this feature could be very useful, since walking is the best type of activity we can do. 

Thank you for your participation in the Community!

I would like to adjust the steps per hour. Instead of being stuck at 250 steps per hour as a minimum, I would like to be able to manually raise that.
