How do I track my health and fitness goals with the Fitbit app?

Set health and fitness goals to stay motivated, and check your progress throughout the day.

Set 1 daily activity stat as your main goal. Then, set an optional goal in each of the other categories, such as exercise and sleep.

Health and fitness goals include:
