10,000 Steps/Day
Discussion
Anyone else following the 10,000 steps/day programme?
In conjunction with the "Pedometer" app on my phone, I've found it very helpful in motivating myself to walk more often.
I started in June this year.
But I really got into it in July after I saw from the "Pedometer" app the cumulative km and kcal totals I could achieve per week/month.
For example, by the end of November I should total more than 200km for the month - brisk walking to and from work and around town. I normally break up the walking into before work, during mid-morning coffee and lunch breaks, and after work - it usually takes me 1h 20m to walk 10,000 steps (about 7km).
I have lost weight, improved my fitness and self-esteem and enjoy the walking.
My new goal is to regularly achieve at least 12,000 steps/day.
