Is there a certain number of steps or something like that I could base my activity level off of?

    I had seen this before:

    Sedentary = less than 5000
    Low activity = 5000-7499
    Somewhat active = 7500-9999
    Active = more than 10000
    Highly active = more than 12500

    These are steps before intentional exercise

    Choose based on your job. Sync your tracker and if any adjustments are necessary they'll happen.
