Fitbit Reports that Americans are Walking Less
The makers of the fitness tracking device Fitbit reported that Americans were less active during the spread of coronavirus, as we stayed-at-home and practiced social distancing.
In the U.S., walking “steps” by individual Fitbit users were down an average of 12% during the fourth week of March, compared to the same period a year ago. And in cities across our country, the decline was even more pronounced as steps were down.
