Leaving Foot Prints

walking_woman

I love the idea of being accountable....

Lexbubbles your challenge sounds great although I am not at the point of tracking time

.... Just another thing

in my already too busy day

Possibly I will join you on the next time around.

I do however have a way of leaving foot prints without thinking about it.

Would anyone else be interested in "Leaving Foot Prints"

I am going to challenge myself to 10K per day.

You can challenge yourself to any amount of foot prints per day.

We can track per day. Once you reach your 10K goal, and have reached 3 days of consecutive 10K days. Up the amount by 1000 foot prints. Each time you hit that next level for 3 days boost it again.

Example of Tracking

Goal: 10K
Foot Prints Left Today: 3,439

The basic goal is the slow and steady path to moving more.

Anyone is welcome to join

at any time.

This will be the thread for "leaving your foot prints" as we travel in space and time if you please.

I believe everything is "Wibbly Wobbly" and will sort itself out

This is great - I like this challenge...I track my steps from the time I get up in the morning to the time I go to bed. I sit at a desk all day and am away from home from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. ....so weekends I can do better. I work really hard at getting over 10,000 steps at least 15 days of the month. Tonight ... I had to walk around the house to get my 10,000 steps.

I understand having to walk around the house to get in those last few steps.

I found this on YouTube to help me get in some of the steps.

They are Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home program. There are easy to hard in nature and free.

Enjoy

I had a dog until last October. She was my walking buddy. I stopped everything at that point in time

... We used to walk minimum 3 times a day. So I decided it was time to get moving again. It is a slow road but it is working.

I am away from the house long hours as well. It is an hour commute each way to work so that makes it a minimum 10 hour day. ..

Next is a job closer to home

I am spending a week with my daughter, SIL and grandangels. Hoping to stay on track and get at least my 12,000 steps in for 5 miles each day. I am eating lots of great tasting food and losing the weight! Live feels really good right now!! Hope everyone is staying on track too and finding it is easier than it was yesterday.

I am seeing why people get a wrist/neck step tracker. There is a lot of time I am moving that is jor caught on my phone. I may look into it.

I have looked into it and am checking out the FitBit Charger HR. Having knowledge of my heartrate, to me is a good idea. I am older and overweight. Last thing I need is to ignore my heart.

Hence why doing all of this is good

Globug583

I received the FitBit Charger HR for Christmas from my family....LOVE IT!! I wanted to keep track of my heart rate as well.
Jan. 20 - 12,255
Jan. 21 - 12,229
I have found that with my particular stride I need to get in 12,000 steps to reach the FIVE MILE MARK. My FitBit is set to go off at 10,000 steps. I love the vibration around my wrist because I know I am not far from my goal. I am feeling great and loving life. Cheers to all of us living HEALTHIER LIVES!!

I like the idea of tracking your steps, it is just so motivating!
I set my goal with 8000 steps a day when I am not exercising and 10000/12000 when I do workouts. I don't walk that much at work so this sounds realistic to me.
I'm using the Samsung Gearfit and I love it!
Right now I am sick and in bed so I will start the next days.
Thanks for your encouragement!

Welcome.

Gear it to yourself. The main point is to move the same as the day before or more.

. As you reach one plateau make another goal

. This is a no pressure environment.

Hi again. Hope all are doing well.
