WElcome to Your Vivofit 4
Throughout your participation in Active KC you will use the Garmin Vivofit 4 to track your activity. The device is yours to keep after your participation is complete. After your baseline week, please feel free to customize your activity tracker to your personal style and utilize any options that may be helpful. We want you to get the most out of your Vivofit 4 as you work toward your physical activity goals!
This video will help familiarize you with the capabilities and setting options that are available through your new device.
