Recognize Elderly

[Petepits]

When you submit your age, the Fitbit should take that into account. Elderly might walk at a slower pace, for example, and still get credit for Active Minutes. Thanks!

An 84 year old friend would like to lower her step goal line. She walks about 5,000 and more steps a day but gets none of the fitbit rewards. Not fair.

10,000  steps is is good for someone young but seniors should be able to adjust it.

It would also be useful to have a disabled category, it is still important for us to stay fi, it is difficult.

I believe if your fitbit is having trouble sensing you can always adjust the sensitivity of the tracker. That's a great idea though.

I really like this idea! I think it's something that can help elderly people to have better accuracy on their stats. Thanks for sharing your suggestion with us!

Thanks for sharing your idea! However, currently there are different ways to get your goals. Take a look at the following articles:

• What should I know about exercise goals?
• How do I track my fitness goals with Fitbit?
• What should I know about Fitbit Goal Day 2016?

I'm interested in a senior mode for all fitbit applications. There are days when I don't do a 15 minutes walk (the minimum I can choose) or I don't swim more than 5 minutes without a rest. I want to be able to be credited as meeting goals for everything I put in. I may be 66 but I love seeing that I met my active goals which keeps me wanting to do more and more. I've been using flex 2 so putting this there but I want it available for my versa that I just ordered as well.
