Hi I’m just trying to get back into working out. I have had knee troubles in the past. So starting with walking.

So my goal is to walk 10,000 steps or more a day. In the morning a 1 minute plank.
Wednesday march 21 st is my first day. At the end of your day enter in how many steps and an exercise you do before bed.

    Congrats on making this pledge. I try to average ~10,000 steps/day over a week. Some days it just ain't gonna happen, but other days I'll get 20,000+. I use Garmin for tracking (Forerunner 235 - also my GPS watch).

    It depends on the day, but I'm usually somewhere between 8,000 and 10,000 steps daily with walking my dog in the morning and then just general activity throughout the day.

    I usually cycle 3-5 days per week depending on life and other goings on and typically lift weights 2x per week...typically 5-7 days of deliberate moderate exercise on top of my walking and steps.

    Note however that I've been doing this for over 5 years...I started out just walking my dog and with general activity and added more strenuous exercise slowly, over time.

    I started with 2500 and now average at least 15,000 sometimes around 20,000 a day. The only exercise I do is take the dog for a walk before bed. I go to bed pretty early now between 8:30 and 10 pm at the latest which is new for me. I also get up at 5:15 in the morning to walk the dog. I also do weights. I was doing the elliptical but can't because I am in an ankle boot.

    I also have a 10k step goal everyday. I was surprised to find how effective walking can be for losing weight.
