The distance and heart rate metrics are useful to make sure the walk 
doesn't turn into a stroll. Lately I've been doing my version of Nordic 
walking. It's interesting how the upper body involvement adds to the 
exercise. 

I'd been using a pedometer app that was fairly accurate for distance. The 
fitbit uses the phone's GPS so can be a little more accurate although it's 
not foolproof.
