January Step Challenge

gradschoolgranny

I am looking into getting the body media. Did you also purchase the internet link or do you find it works fine without it? Can it go in water to count your swimming?

Mine doesn't sync unless I connect it to the computer, but there is a model that does, as far as I know.
I have to take it off in water.
Also is counts steps but not distance unfortunately ( which is a great feature of the fit bit )

19.........10,439.........336,684 - missed my morning walk ,so marched on the spot at home till I broke 10,000

Fantastic commitment Pamela!

I love the idea of the step challenge. Prior to my hip repair I was clocking nearly 15,000 steps per day but now 5 months out from surgery I have just been given the green light to walk (indoors only). I put my old faithful step counter on the other day and nearly cried when my total for the day was just under 3000. I did water walking however for about 30 min but of course couldn't wear my counter in the water.
I must say however, after a brief cry, that I felt better overall because I am able to walk again. I can't think of a better way to enjoy life, keep you mood up and keep the weight down. Kudos for committing to taking those extra steps each day.

Welcome Gradshcoolgranny! I am sure your step count will be back up there in no time

As for wearing step counters into the water - I have done that several times - of course they do not work very well afterwards:ohwell:

dancingj2

I'm so going to try this, as soon as i get a step counter ! Can it be bought at walmart?

Walmart has a few different step counters. I was not as excited about the more expensive, electronic one I bought there - it seemed to miss steps. However the cheapest one they have seem to work ok. I use that one as my back up.

My fav is the New Balance Via Slim. I usually buy it for $20 to $25. I do wish it was water resistant though. I think I have drowned two of them :grumble:

A lot of that is just walking round the classroom, but it includes 76.68 miles of very very brisk walking (4.5pmh) as MFP would put it

I do love some of the descriptions - 3 mph is walking a dog. Sometimes she gets to enjoy the walk with but not when I do my 3 mph on my treadmill.
