I found out yesterday that a good session shoveling garden dirt ramps up your step count even if remaining basically stationary in one place.

I picked up about a thousand steps in about 45 minutes.

Probably works for snow shoveling too.  😁

Hi @Altoid4ever  knitting or winding yarn is what a friend of mine discovered with the Fitbit. Any movement of your hands, as it's wrist based and needs those movements to capture what might be perceived as a step. Snow shoveling? Well, anyone doing that ought to get credit for it!
