Charge 4 celebrates when you reach your main goal. To start, this is set to 10,000 steps and your step count resets everyday at midnight. You can change your goal in the Fitbit app settings.

Reminders to Move help you get moving every hour. Throughout the day, try to hit 250 steps each hour.

Customize the hours you receive reminders in the Fitbit app.
