    On my 20k days, I do circuit training, BTW. I'd like to handle more directed exercise for less walking. I'm trying to shift my balance, but I have to build strength.

    25k+

    Wow, 25k is impressive. Mind if I ask how you get so many steps in? That would literally take me 6+ hours.

    Treadmill desk. About 100 steps a minute. So, yeah, about 6 hours.

    Awesome!

    And I've also TOTALLY burnt out the motor on this treadmill. Waiting for the next to come in as I fight with this one. Would like a nice one, but it doesn't actually physically fit in my office, soooooo....

    My goal on my new Microsoft band is 5,000 but maybe jumping in here would motive me to do more. I know I really need to do 10,000. Would love to join in and see if peer pressure will keep me moving more.

    I'm trying for 10000 too... I'm getting about 5000 right now.

    Right on! Way to stretch yourself.

    Question... If I do 10k on a regular basis at work, should I shoot for more? 15-20k?

    Totally depends on how it lines up with your overall goals.

    Can I ask you which monitor you use to track your steps?
    I do circut Training also with a trainer for an hour 3 days a week. I run at 6.5 miles per hour between all sets for 2 minutes at a time and I never go over 6,000 steps during that hour. Plus I walk a lot as a nurse and even on my busiest days I don't hit 20k. I might get 17 to 18k. So I'm impressed!

    Oh, and I mean I do circuit training AFTER I hit 20k walking. :) Circuit training only adds about 1000 steps.

    22K+ got me past my calorie goals for the day because I did a tiny bit of jogging outdoors!
