If youre having trouble getting off the couch to go for a walk, maybe some cash will help. Oscar Insurance, a New York-based startup, now sends members a free Misfit wristband to track their steps, and whenever someone reaches a daily goal for a certain number of steps, the company pays them. We were fascinated with the U.S. Surgeon Generals recommendation that if you walk around 10,000 steps a day, you will have a real impact on almost all the top killers in the U.S., like obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure, says Mario Schlosser, co-founder of Oscar Insurance. If you just get a bit more physically active, you can avoid those conditions getting worse, or make them better.
