“Alexa, ask Fitbit how many steps I’ve taken.”“Alexa, ask Fitbit how far I’ve walked today.”“Alexa, ask Fitbit how many calories I’ve burned.”“Alexa, ask Fitbit how I’m doing today.”“Alexa, ask Fitbit how I slept last night.”“Alexa, ask Fitbit what my resting heart rate is.”“Alexa, ask Fitbit how many flights of stairs I’ve climbed.”
