I’ve written before about how I’m the perfect target demographic for the digital health movement—naturally lazy and not the least bit athletically competitive. I’m not a jock. I respond very favorably to these pretty little “medals” from my AppleWatch. They motivate me.

Now, if WordPress.Com doesn’t reach out to personally congratulate me, I’ll be disappointed.
Side note: Apple Watch doesn’t give awards for “Step Count.” It focuses on Standing (12x per/day); Exercise (30 minutes per/day); and Active Calories (mine is currently set to 380, but last summer it was 420).
