Just wondering!
Those who use pedometers or fitness trackers how many steps a day or miles a day are you doing? Also, what is the most you have ever done?

I usually get about 10-11000.
My husband works in a factory and walks almost 19000 a night.0 -
Most of the time 10,000-15,000.0

I get about 8,000-11,000 a day0

Not a clue...never bothered worry about some arbitrary step number.0

I get between 9,000 to 13,000. The most I've ever done was about 16,000.cwolfman13 wrote: »Not a clue...never bothered worry about some arbitrary step number.

Real helpful post there.
it IS helpful tho. it lets the OP know that there are conflicting opinions on the value of the steps per day fitness concept and that she'd be wise to investigate further into the subject.
i average 14000 per day0 -
10K most days0

I average 11-12000 steps a day. Least I've gotten done in a day is 9000 and most I've done is about 27000 thereabouts. That's what I've observed since using a pedometer, at least.0
-
at the moment:
rest days 6-8,000
run days 13-16000
most I have gotten in one day so far was 37000ish, that was the day I ran my first half marathon0 -
My daily goal that I usually meet is 20,000. If I'm tired I'll cut it in half and go 10,000 to 12,000.0

Thanks for all of your useful replies. I'm not going to the trouble to quote, but I will say this. I was asking just to see what other people are doing. Steps equal distance. That is why asked for steps OR MILES. Some people like to focus on their thousands others like to focus on miles. That's why I asked for either. Second, stride length determines the distance for your steps. Short people have to take more steps per determined distance than a tall person. So again, steps vs miles. Depending on what your focus is.
As far as I am concerned I have my goals set to no less than 14,000 steps per day, but I have been getting in as much as 20,000 since the weather has been nice. That is a little less than 8 miles for me because as a short person my stride is a small one. Of course, 90% of that is done inside. I am not above pacing the floor to keep moving. LOL0 -

Then why comment? No input other than that is pointless.0 -
Weekdays usually 11-20,000, depends on what workout I do, but I walk a lot because I live in a city and don't drive. On weekends, usually 5-7,000 unless I'm doing something especially active.0
-
I aim for 15,000 per day. It's high enough to always require a little extra effort to achieve it.0
-
Average 11k per day, but at least 3 days a week I clock over 15k with tennis. Mileage varies, but most days I am around 5 miles.0
