It does count the steps, but when it shows miles walked, it shows less, because when I walk in place, I am not going forward. It's still ok though. Because if I didn't walk in place as much as I do, I would not be getting enough steps. I like to walk through the commercials.

There is a relatively new field called "sedentary physiology" which measures the effects of being virtually motionless while sitting at a desk on a computer. People who spend too much time being sedentary, even if they have a good exercise program, are at high risk for disease. The 10,000 step program is largely to let a person avoid being sedentary. The reason being sedentary is so bad is circulation in our lymphatic system is only created by motion. The lymphatic system is our body's garbage dump, and if there is no circulation, it is like a toilet backing up. Now to revisit my statement that a step in front of the TV doesn't count the same as walking. I think they serve two different purposes for health, and both are equally important. I also don't think a person should focus on getting steps around the house, as there is an easier way. In the premium version, you can download the number of sedentary minutes during the day. It's very hard to get this below 1,000 minutes or 16 hours and 36 minutes. This is rather embarrassing for me, as I get over 20,000 steps a day mostly from walking. (I only sleep about 5 or 5 1/2 hours.) I feel activities around the house such as cleaning, gardening, taking out the trash, cooking food, etc. are just as important as walking steps. These will show up as periods of low activity on Fitbit even though they don't generate the large numbers of steps. Therefore, a person would probably benefit as much from cleaning a bathroom as they would from taking steps in place in front of a TV. The steps will be lower, but the activity will be the same. Rather than make it too complicated, I think it's good to look at the chart for activity during the day, and try to get as many positive periods as possible. It doesn't have the neat solution of a number of steps, but it will include low level activities around the house. In addition to this, people should strive for at least 20 minutes of highly active minutes for runners and 60 minutes for walkers. These times have about an equal benefit to the cardiovascular system. I prefer the walking because I'm old and I don't want the injuries that can come with running. Besides, I enjoy walking.
