Everything but the salad....

c25k and fitbit question
Question: I try to get 10k steps in a day with my fitbit. I have been doing c25k and log that as an exercise since I don't do it everyday, but since it's jogging/walking it also goes towards my steps. so my question (finally) is should I log my c25k when I do it as a separate exercise or just let it be counted steps on…
