Hi @kaptainkat, I sometimes check the Health app on my iPhone 12 but mostly I use the Activity tracker on my Apple iWatch 6. I'm halfway between 79 and 80 🙃 and can't walk very far due to my degenerative arthritis and forward leaning spine. I did buy some trekking poles to help me with the walking. They allow me to walk a little more upright and provide the extra stability but I haven't put them to much use this Summer. Hoping to get out more this Fall. I do have a Teeter FreeStep Recumbent Cross Trainer that I try to ride 30 to 45 minutes a day 4 or 5 times a week. I also bought one of the FitForm Home Gyms which is a resistance band device for arms, legs and different body muscles. I use the Activity tracker on the iWatch for the different activities and it gives a breakdown of all the data on the iPhone.
It's good to set a little higher target so that you can keep increasing activity a little daily. Now if I can just do that it may help me up my number of steps 🙂

Thankmew for the feedback.
I have an ORIGINAL Apple Watch, from decades ago, that reads 'Think Different' across the analog face and runs counter-clockwise.
I use a roll-a-tor for distances of any length. It doesn't fit around the house. I have been supplementing the roll-a-tor with a pair of Hurrycanes for around the house. But even they get cumbersome, and I discovered that my monopod for my camera does about as well for keeping balance.
Via my PT it is finally getting to where I don't need the devices to bear most of my weight. I actually DID have using a wheelchair in mind, but have been able to stay that thought.
In a six-minute continuous walk test with my PT, WITH roll-a-tor, I did near 1300 ft., and was able to walk the whole six minutes. Sans device was some 300 ft and I could only walk about 4 minutes.
