10,000 Steps really??????

Annie_01

The days that I take a 3 mile walk I have no problem getting in 10,000+. On the days that I don't I struggle to get 5,000. To help me out I sometimes will march in place or jog in place off and on throughout the day.

In the past I have use the C25k app...inside! I will walk in place and then when they signal you to run...I am like a maniac running all over the house. Don't worry...I keep the blinds closed so that my neighbors won't think I have lost my mind.

Funny thing is...I have tried running outside...I just don't seem to be able to do it without having to call 911 to give me a lift home.

ooh, I like that idea! I've started C25K in the past and life happened before I finished, and I'd really like to do the program all the way through at least once

I am trying to become much stricter and get my 10,000 steps in a day. Today so far I am at 21,000 steps.

If you want to be entertained, check out the forums on the fitbit site, especially the multiple-year threads titled "How Can Anyone Do [50,000, 80,000, some other random number] Steps In A Day?????" And people who join contests on the internet with people who may or may not exist, and complain that people are cheating.

Hhmmm I had a few of those in my last challenge. I swear some of them put their fitbits in the tumble dryer or something to get 50+k steps 7 days a damn week!

This is so funny to me!! Even on the two occasions I have ran marathons, I've only gotten up to ~45000 steps! 50k every day would be a nightmare

The highest I've ever hit was a little over 32k. That was walking around DC from about 8am to 6pm with very little rest. There was a lot to see in one day!

Normally I average around 15k. I run most days of the week and get really close to 10k just by running. Taking care of kids, house, errands, etc gives me the rest.
