@Erinmfs I have not heard of shoes that talk to your phone, but I have an activity monitor, an Apple Watch, that does push me. I have goals set in it and I really want to achieve those goals every day. I don't worry too much about steps, I rarely get all of the way to 10,000 but I do much other exercise that I figure it makes up for that, plus that number was arbitrarily set by a Japanese pedometer company, it was never something that was set by medical experts! The Apple Watch does count steps and I generally am at about 8000.

My husband laughs at me and says I am controlled by a device, but I think it really is helpful to goad me on to do more.
