    Thank you for noticing my steps Dancing, and also for starting this step challenge. It helps to have a place to check in. Otherwise, I don't wear my counter, don't check my steps throughout the day and don't make the effort to fit in more steps during errands, shopping etc. Have a nice day. :smile:

    Your welcome! Before the step challenge here, my step counter gathered dust rather than steps. I now see crazy days at work where I am running around as opportunity for lots of extra steps :)

    At work, sometimes I will march in place to add steps. That is when no one is around.

    Do you ladies remove your counter during other exercise?

    I wear it if my exercise is going out for a walk, but prefer to remove it for other exercise like tennis or bike ride. My step goal is to have 10k steps in addition to my 30 minute exercise.

    Convincing hubby to take a hike can be a challenge at times. First he agreed, then it was a walk around the block, then at the mall (ok that is not a bad choice ;), finally we ended up on a nature trail near Bass Pro Shop that ended up with us in the store. We did get a nice walk in outside and some shopping in :)

    I wear it if my exercise is going out for a walk, but prefer to remove it for other exercise like tennis or bike ride. My step goal is to have 10k steps in addition to my 30 minute exercise.

    For me, I put it on first thing in the morning and take it off when I go to bed at night. I do take it off if I am planning on a long bike ride but if its just a couple of miles I leave it on.

    When I first started using it I struggled to make 10,000. Lately I have been getting over 10,000 lots so I may need to take it off during other exercise or increase my daily goal.

    I find it harder to keep my steps up and get exercise when my family are all home. Love them a lot, but this is reality.
