I should have said all via Fitbit.

I don't work, I don't drive & I have an injury that stops me from sitting down for more than a few mins at a time. All I can do is walk. I make sure that 20,000 is my minimum per day, anything over that is a bonus. It's not that hard though really. I put the wash basket as far away from the washing line as possible (about 200 mtrs) and take ONE item at a time to the line to hang, then walk all the way back, grab one more item & walk to the line...get about 3000-6000 just doing a full load. I take it down the same way. Then I walk to the supermarket, that's a 6.5km round trip...to the closer one. If I go to the further one it can be between 10km round trip or if I take the long way it can be 17km trip. I walked 23km to get mascara, I walked 30km to a Dr appointment & then cause I had an hour in between appointments (for my injury) I did 196 flights of stairs while waiting. I walk ALL the time. I refuse to catch public transport at all & cause I don't drive (none of us do) there is no other choice.

This is of course with my 5 mile walk at home that I make sure I do either 6 or 7 miles a day, or I run 10 - 11 km. So all those steps are part of that as well.

Today I actually went shopping...5km walk. Then my 5mile (6 miles when done) walk at home. Then back to the supermarket 6.5km trip. All on 4 hours sleep last night, I been up since 4am. I currently have32,290 steps & it's only 9:12pm

I actually got told I need professional help because I walk so much :huh:

I'm glad to see this challenge. I have been slacking recently. 05/25-06/07=124,154 which sounds ok. However, that's only an average of about 8868 per day. 4 bad days out of 14 can really cost you! My job is a sitting at computer job. I do a lot of that in my home time too. I have to be really mindful of the need to get my steps. I trust the challenge will help me. Better go, need to get walking. ;->

9th June. Sick as a dog today, I struggled to get to 1,000 let alone 10,000. I could not do my normal workout today cause I would cough hard & it would stop me, then I would not stop coughing for ages. So I did step-ups for over an hour..... I kept my heart rate above 150 for the whole time..... that was hard.
