For me, since my primary device is iPhone and currently I’m using Apple Watch, thus I select HealthKit, since Apple Watch is compatible with HealthKit.

5. Accept the challenge

6. Take the action.

Start walking! As simple as that.

Just do your normal activities such as going to work, wash that dishes, do the chores. If doing your normal activities don’t get you enough steps, do extra exercises or switch to alternatives, such as take staircases for going up or down instead of taking escalator or lift or other way is if your home is just walking distance, do consider to walk back home and skip the bus.

7. Don’t forget to sync your steps

Before going to sleep, at the end of the day good if you can open the Healthy 365 app and sync it daily. In case if you are lazy to sync it each and every day or forgot to sync it in one of those days, you can sync it once a week but try to be not more than a week. Certain fitness tracker can only remember the past 7 days activities.

By right, just opening the app will sync your steps automatically from the fitness tracker. However in case you are not seeing your progress getting synced, here’s to sync the steps to Healthy 365 app manually.

Healthy 365 National Steps Challenge Season 5 – Sync the steps manually on Dashboard Menu

To sync the steps manually to Healthy 365 app do the following:

a. Open the Healthy 365 app.

b. Go to Dashboard Menu.

c. If you see ‘X’ number of kcal burnt, ‘X’ number of kcal consumed, slide the screen from right to left until you see the screen like shown above (see image above), showing ‘N’ number of steps with a big circle around it.

d. Tap on the green colored icon (fitness tracker icon) located on the top right of the screen (see image above) to start sync it manually.

Voila! Now you managed to sync your steps manually. You only need to do this in case the app is not automatically sync the steps for you.
