A couple of people I know with daily step quotas, will tell me they have done they’re daily steps today when walking to lunch and back. Yes, it’s like 6 blocks but it’s no workout. I think these devices are giving users a false sense of exercise.

But did they say it was a workout? Or just that they’ve done their daily steps

Honestly, they didn’t. It just seems like it from my perspective.
