    Anything over 10K is active to very active. Sedentary is less than 3K steps per day...literally barely moving during the day.

    Apple and MFP don't play well together.

    3k is not barely moving. I understand it counts as sedentary, but that's almost a half hour walking at a good clip. I can spend all day doing chores around the house and not hit that by virtue of the fact that it doesn't take far to get from point A to point B. I work as quality manager in a factory and I can head from my desk in the office out to the opposite end of the shop floor and it's only 300 steps.

    But yes, OP, I'd put active and see how that goes. Depending on the intensity with which you take those steps (and how many of them are actually steps -- sometimes trackers are weird) you may need to adjust up or down.
