New Challenge: 10,000 steps a day

[lynneonextante]

Will be restarting this tomorrow 2nd January.

 

[Lois]

My battery died, so I'll restart tomorrow xx

 

[lynneonextante]

Hokie cokie!

 

[Susie58]

Going to get a pedometer tomorrow & then join you. Never used one before so have no idea how many steps I walk normally.

 

[lynneonextante]

I'll put today's steps on in the morning - have left my pedometer upstairs. Susie, you need to aim for 10.00 steps a day. I have long walks to and from the train station on work days and also try to get some walking in at lunchtime. Did 9 thousand and a bit today.

 

[Susie58]

Just ordered one on line. Needs to be a pocket one as I wont be able to wear it with my uniform. Will take about 4 days to get here though. 10,000 sounds a lot. Walk most of the time during the day so we shall see how close I come to that on a normal working day. Will have to take the dog for walks.

I'm going to wait until Susie gets hers and start day 1 then. It'll be good to have a group of us doing this. Until then I'll try for 10,000 steps plus a day anyway.

 

[lynneonextante]

OK. I'll wait for Susie too. It will be much better if a group of us do it together.

Great challenge idea Lynne! *goes off to order a pedometer*

 

[lynneonextante]

Hi SM. I think it's good because it encourages you to put extra exercise into everyday activities.

 

[Susie58]

Recieved email that its been despatched so should be here in the next few days. No backing out now lol

 

[Vonnie100]

I'm def starting this on Monday, done it before for a work fitness challenge & it def makes you think about doing more exercise!! X

 

[lynneonextante]

Welcome Vonnie. I find it helps.

 

[Susie58]
