    8000-10000 steps a day! What about you? Not sure if that is a good goal or not.

    I was averaging about 7500. Now my iPhone doesn’t fit in my pocket so it says like 200. I need a fitbit

    About 7,000-8,000 on average during the week. I sit at a computer all day so if I don't get a workout in I only get about 4,000-5,000. I aim for over 10,000 on the weekends.

    10000 is good to start with, then you can slowly work your way up to 15000 or more. I also wear the tracker when I am on the elliptical machine and it counts those as steps too.

    I've only had my phone to record which doesn't count everything ....totals to around 4-5k daily. I am purchasing a fitbit today so I can accurately track everything :)

    You could...but it could also be more efficient to add in some moderate to high intensity exercise.

    I don't get many steps with my desk job...around 5K-6K and I don't really shoot for more...it is a more efficient use of my time and better for my overall fitness to do deliberate, higher intensity exercise...mostly cycling and lifting.

    Hmm you mention migraines. I’m older (42) and 192 lb. I’m wondering now if my own nightly migraines have anything to do with HIT exercise. Doctors haven’t been able to diagnose. Nothing serious but just small headaches without a root cause that come and go!

    On a normal day without any intentional exercise, about 3k-4k. I push to get a min. Of 5k. Exercise workout days I get 7-8k or more. I rarely do more than 10k.

    5,000- 8,000. Sometimes more sometimes less. It was an increase for me.

    I average about 15K steps/day. I have a desk job but walk to work, walk on lunch and walk after lifting most days

    I have chronic migraine, and I'm seeing a pretty heavy hitter neurologist for mine. My reaction to intense exercise is pretty immediate. Heavy lifting, anything like sprinting? Can't do it.

    I do bodyweight exercises for strength training now to avoid the trigger. When I do run (currently no running because running and deficit eating don't mix well for me), I do it at a modest pace.

    Everyone is likely different, though with their migraines. Don't go by what I experience! If you want to read more about it, look up "exercise induced migraines" or "exertional migraines" on Google.

    On most days, honestly, between 1500 to 2000. Right now I’m at 1581 and it’s dinner time. I have a standing desk and exercise intentionally most days. My husband and I both work at home and are in a family of introverted homebodies. My weekly trip to the grocery store is a big day out and then I cross the 3000 step mark.
