    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.

    Not including working out? Only 3000-4000. I try to get to 10k when I work out.

    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!
