    Year 2 of step challenge. Age 61 + desk job M-F ~ I take hourly stairs breaks (3 floors) at work. Step goals lower since switching to treadmill due to winter road conditions (snow & ice not dog walk friendly): daily average 12,000 steps + total 375,000. I'm a walker, not a runner ~ next race Frenzy on the Fox 5K on January 11.

    I'm a little late to this but I just joined the site and got a new Withings scale on Saturday where it suggested I do 10,000 steps per day. I have an Apple Watch so have my full history for this month.

    My goal is to do 10,000+ steps for the rest of the month.

    1/1 10,254
    1/2 7,700
    1/3 5,835
    1/4 4,893

    Must try harder!

    @KKHKISHZKH
    You’ve got this!
    Things I found helped:
    1. My surgeon telling me to walk a minimum of 10K steps a day. “I do it & I’m a full time surgeon. Certainly you can.”
    2. Multiple shorter, easier hikes around home 3 3-4K walks per day at the beginning
    3. Walking to uptempo, happy music
    4. Waking to podcasts or Ted Talks
    5. Walking talking to family member or a friend
    6. Moving each hour
    7. Decluttering/straightening home (returning items to other roomsetc)
    8. Walking to do errands or having a purpose for the walk
    9. Gradually increasing my steps each week. To 8K per day then 9, 10 etc

    You’ve got this!

    Thanks! It's been a bit difficult with my kids off over xmas and my fiancé just having had a hip replacement, but mostly I've just been a bit lazy! Things are starting to get back into a proper routine again now, so I'm getting there, I think!

    I'm a little late to this but I just joined the site and got a new Withings scale on Saturday where it suggested I do 10,000 steps per day. I have an Apple Watch so have my full history for this month.

    My goal is to do 10,000+ steps for the rest of the month.

    1/1 10,254
    1/2 7,700
    1/3 5,835
    1/4 4,893
    1/5 3,933
    1/6 8,238
    1/7 7,106
    1/8 6,710
    1/9 6,579
    1/10 6,514
    1/11 7,551
    1/12 9,709
    1/13 11,994 12,127

    I see it's better to add "yesterday" today. So I've corrected the 13th and will continue on tomorrow. I have to read while I'm on the treadmill or I'd give up too soon. I like to walk outside but it's too cold and too dark for that now.

    In order to get 10,000 steps I've had to do a 5K at a minimum. On some of the lower steps days I only did 30-40 minutes on the treadmill.

    Year 2 of step challenge. Age 61 + desk job M-F ~ I take hourly stairs breaks (3 floors) at work. Step goals lower since switching to treadmill due to winter road conditions (snow & ice not dog walk friendly): daily average 12,000 steps + total 375,000. I'm a walker, not a runner ~ next race Seroogy's Valentine 5K on Feb. 9.
