    Crafty daughter...

    My daughter, who has special needs, has been using her phone to track her daily steps and showing the results to myself and my wife. Very good we thought, until the wife happened to see her on the garden swing, clocking up the steps....

    Just check that, my watch can track steps. It won’t log one for a movement that’s not like a step though.
    Using a swing wouldn’t rank it.
    It even knows when I’m on the rowing machine and logs as such.

    Mine will often track steps while I am driving.

    I can drive down to Rathdowny and back and clock up 1500 steps,that’s in the manual van.

    So the step counters are not always accurate.

    My wife thinks that if it is in my daughter's pocket the movement of her legs would clock up as steps.

    When I drive my daily car (a Skoda) - I might generate 10-20 steps on the way to work (I'm guessing pot holes, etc).

    When I drive the 101 for a day - I generate about 30,000 steps...

    The 101 must be contributing greatly to your wellbeing☺️

    Yep, kids arn't silly.
    We bought a step counter for our Autstic boy a couple of years ago. Like you we thought he was doing really well.
    Until SWMBO saw him sitting in front of his Xbox happily playing a game while swinging the arm with the counter back & forth.
    When confrunted he just gave a grin.

    It's more than a step up from the Skoda.

    strap it to the front suspension either on the beam near the middle or about halfway out a wish bone. Go for a drive, the cheaper end of the step counters will quite happily have you doing multipe hundreds of thousand steps in a day.
