Set daily goals appropriate to your lifestyle, rather than using the preset ones.
Increase the amount of activity you get instead of counting your steps.
If you have a fitness tracker, wear it at all times to help provide an accurate reading of your progress.
Create your profile and make sure that you are calibrating your device to your body.
Connect your fitness tracker to various apps that work together for your health.
