Help with steps please?

The first thing I would do is sign on to the apps and devices section of MyFitnessPal and install Pacer this app works in sync with MyFitnessPal and will keep track of your steps and calories you're calorie output will appear in the exercise section of your diary log keep in mind but this is giving a ballpark figure not an exact figure but an idea of how much you were burning the Pacer app will tell you how far you are walking and other information about your walk it is extremely easy to use and I have found it very helpful your question related to level of activity related to steps really comes down to an individual level please keep in mind I am a lay person I am not an expert just giving you my individual experience I would recommend starting a slow you can set your goal on Pacer for let's say 3000 steps and that you're able to do that you could gradually increase it what's important to keep in mind is to vary your walk for example you can walk at a moderate pace and then for a minute or so speed it up and then slow down go uphill go downhill again it depends on what your physical condition is and being am not a trainer I cannot give you an exact list of instructions what I can say is that the key is that you keep active
For me 10,000 steps is r mikes but you have to build up to this
Also everyone's step,length is differentif you happen to use a treadmill keep your phone on in your pocket or hold it (you may want to hold onto handrails if need be for safety don't look at it while you're walking but it will keep track of the steps but you are taking while on the treadmill and if you don't use a treadmill that's perfectly fine you can keep track of your steps indoors Outdoors
If you cannot have your phone with you while you're exercising on the treadmill then you can do a manual entry into the exercise section of MyFitnessPal The other thing to keep in mind is that if you are traveling in a car or on a bus make sure that you put Pacer on pause it is very sensitive to movement and even while sitting in a car or on the bus or train any movement will register as steps so make sure I can that you put Pacer on pause and then take off pause when you get off best of luck to you
Again keep in mind I am just a lay person you might want to check with a professional Fitness expert who really has better knowledge I'm just giving you some general guidelines for my experience you also have to take into consideration your overall health the key is not to overdo it if you don't want to hurt yourself

If the steps are part of your deliberate exercise (i.e. walking, running, etc.) then they shouldn't count as part of your activity level unless you don't input that separately. My usual step count is 15,000, but 90% of that is from running and walking. The rest of the time I am completely sedentary. Since I input my runs and walks separately, I get the extra calories I need on my most active days, but don't overcount on the days I am less active. You want to be careful not to double count your exercise, since that leads to frustration when the weight doesn't come off.

Help please! My tomtom says ive done 9962 steps, calories 1 960, 7.36km.
