Hi gang.
A couple of years back I bought a pedometer to check how many steps a day I was managing. It was an eye-opener because on university days I would do at least 14,000-15,000 and on stay at home days less than a fifth of this total!
Yesterday I dug the poor thing out of a drawer and put it in my cardi pocket. Total for yesterday - uni morning and a walk back from town - 14,778 before I stopped counting.
Today I am at home and I did a quick 1,000 jog-on-the-spot before brekkie. I will try to do at least six thousand daily whilst at home, and more if possible.
I think the pedometer is a great tool to encourage more walking which can only be a good thing!
UPDATE TODAY:
I have just completed the second of two short but brisk TV jogging sessions. Step count so far - over 3,000. The Governmental official advice a couple of years back was a minimum of 2,000 steps daily. Now it is 10,000 but any extra steps are worthwhile.
I am gonna keep this pedometer on my person most of the time, most days!
