Hello all!

I recently got a Garmin Vivofit (similar to a Fitbit) pedometer, and I had a question about tracking it.

Should I be adding the walking to my exercise on here? I only use it for my daily walking around the office. For example, today I walked 6,238 steps for an estimated distance of 3 miles. Should I add that I walked 3 miles today, or not?

Thanks for advice and help!

    If you link your Garmin Connect Account and your MFP account, you will get extra calories added to your exercise diary if you burn more during your day than MFP thought you would. Example:
