Do you use step goals or fitness trackers at weddings/festivals — helpful or stressful?
Some people wear their watch at multi-day weddings or festivals and try to hit steps between ceremonies (short walks, dancing, stairs). If you've tried this, did tracking help you enjoy the food without feeling guilty, or did it turn the day into a mini-chore? Any low-effort ways to move that actually fit into the celebrations?

Short, practical balance: WHO guidance (150–300 min moderate activity/week) means short bursts and dancing count — so you can stay active without strict step policing. Trackers can help as gentle nudges but noisy alerts or hard step targets often create stress. Tips: set a relaxed/event goal (e.g., 30 active minutes or a lower step target), mute notifications or use passive tracking, and focus on “movement snacks” — 5–10 min walk after meals, short dance bursts, take stairs between venues, stand during socialising, or park a little farther. Note trackers may miscount hand-heavy dancing; prioritise enjoying the celebration and treat the device as a reminder, not a rule.
