    About 500 steps! :neutral: I don't track much but generally I walk very little. I work from home, doesn't help.

    Anything is better than sedentary. I used to be a couch potato, and I've become incredibly antsy. I get a ridiculous amount of steps, most lately because I'm incredibly cold and walk a lot on my treadmill to warm up. I've been getting 30K a day.

    Wow 30k a day is awesome and seems unachievable to me. That should really help with weight loss or toning.

    Thanks! I'm short and older and relatively light already. What all that walking does do is give me a very decent calorie allowance. A lot of women my age, height, and weight have very few calories they can eat. Less so if they're trying to lose weight (as I'm doing with a few vanity pounds). I can comfortably eat quite a few calories and still lose. My TDEE is around 2400.

    The thing is that the moderate intensity walking I do is best suited to me and my particular health needs. Higher intensity exercise triggers migraines for me. I have the time to devote to this and the energy, so I don't have an issue with doing it. I don't think this is an ideal goal for most people, though.

    same here if its really high intensity to where my face gets red I get really bad headaches,not migraines but close

    I have my fitbit set at 15000. I average around 29-30000.
