I have been using the FitBit since Mother's day last year and find it difficult to hit 10,000 steps everyday. I'm lucky if I hit it 2-3 days a week. I sit at a desk all day and don't get up as much as I used to. I need to focus on taking a walk around the office every hour and getting in 30 min. of walking (all at one time or sometimes I break it up into two 15min. walks). If I do that then I think I will hit my goal of 10,000 steps each day. Just need to focus and DO IT!0

I have a sit down job 2-3 times a week due to paperwork. I tucked the chair away and stand, use the longest bathroom walk and before I know it I am at 7,000 and couple jumping jacks. WOW. I hit 10,000 steps. My problem is not exercise but diet. I will become better with practice.
@ MochaMixAZ, how is the alarm idea working any luck? Keep us posted lady!
Love this dialogue too.0 -
The alarm kinda fizzled. I just haven't wrapped my brain around needing to get UP and to the gym.
I'm also predominately at a desk all day unless it's a day when I'm actually teaching instead of writing the class content. You absolutely have to work crazy-hard to get in those steps. But... you can!
Today is one of those desk-days. I have tons of scheduling and writing to do. I'm only up to 500 steps today. So, for the rest of the afternoon I'm setting a 30 minute timer and when it goes off, I jump up and do 5-10 circuits around the house. We'll see how it goes.... then I'm going to have to get in a real walk later.0 -

Great start. I have 30 phone call to make, and lots of paperwork. I will be practicing what I preach and breaks jump and walk. You might want to try Leslie Sansone walking, I absolutely love them. I am a speed walker. Have fun lady!0
