A little friendly competition can help you stay motivated on your wellness journey. The Leaderboard supports this by bringing a social dimension to meeting and exceeding your activity goals. You can add your friends and family to your Leaderboard and compete with them to be the one who walks the most every week.
It also doesn’t matter if they have a Withings product or not: you can add anyone as long as they have the Withings App on their smartphone, thanks to the in-app tracking feature that can track steps using their smartphone hardware.
