Anybody else have a hard time getting to 10k steps igh

If it were easy to walk 10,000 steps a day, then this wouldn't be called a "challenge". When I first started carrying a pedometer, my step count was way below 10,000 and I continued to look for opportunities to walk rather than sit. I rearranged my priorities and took a walk instead of doing something else. I walked up and down the hall in hospitals and walked around parking lots and airports. I went out for 30 minutes at bedtime to walk instead of watching TV or messing about on the computer. With time, the count has grown. Do not be discouraged

10 000 steps is definitely a challenge! I work from home on my computer! I keep looking for ways to add steps to my day. I park far away from the mall or store. I pace in parking lots when waiting for someone, instead of waiting in my car. At home, I make several trips up and down the stairs to get things/put things away instead of saving all the errands for one trip up. I pace when I talk on the phone (adds quite a few!). I have been known to walk around in circles at my home before bed to try to get my step count up!

Don't be discouraged. You could set a lower goal initially and gradually build up each month. I have more energy now and don't mind running up the stairs to fetch something for my hubby.

I'd like to do this challenge! I have a goal to hit 10 000 000 lifetime steps by my 2 year Fitbit anniversary. That means I still have to do 1.3 million steps between now and January 27th which breaks down to approximately 16 400 steps a day.
