Yes that is what my diabetes educator told us in class that to stay healthy we should take 10,000 steps daily....WHEW! Thats a lot of stpes don't you thin, especially if you don't work, so I guess that means one should get off their behind and move around, wouldn't you say?

That does seem like a lot of steps, and I know I don't even walk a quarter of that anymore.

I love to walk, but I've not been doing any at all. The cold and snow have taken care of that for me temporarily. I have nowhere else to walk and this tiny house is only 10 steps around the whole thing.

I've got a pedometer but haven't been able to calibrate it yet. As soon as we have a nice day, I need to go out and do that. I'm hoping the weather turns around soon, as I need to get my butt moving too. Cholesterol and pre-diabetes say I must! (Not to mention my butt, tee-hee).


myLot reputation of 66/100. kcook57 (856)   ranked 14 out of 336 in walking  8 months ago

hehe:) you are too funny. I have a pedometer and they are pretty sool they work with your walking stride....the bigger steps you take the less it adds up I will tell you that. I have got to get out and do some more walking too, it just has been too cold.BRRRR!!!!


myLot reputation of 66/100. kcook57 (856)   ranked 14 out of 336 in walking  8 months ago

pretty sool...LOL at me...in my other post. I meant "cool"

We did a challenge activity based on that in the last place I worked. I found that I got 8,000-9,000 on a normal work day, and it only took a quick stroll on my lunchbreak or a few more trips to the photocopier to get 10,000. The winning team, however, were averaging closer to 30,000 steps per day!


myLot reputation of 66/100. kcook57 (856)   ranked 14 out of 336 in walking  8 months ago

WOW! 30,000...I cannot imagine, but sounds like you are getting your steps in daily...keep it up!

That does sound like an awful amount of steps when said like that.
I know I do not do anywhere near that amount.
I need to walk everyday, but have not found anyone to walk with me.
I will not go alone as I suffer from a stupid heart condition, and am always afraid to go by myself.


myLot reputation of 66/100. kcook57 (856)   ranked 14 out of 336 in walking  7 months ago

It probally would not be wise for you to walk alone....my suggestion would be to take someone with you that could get help for you if need be, but you never walk alone when you invite Jesus to go with you, He could be the physician your walking friend calls on. Have a blessed day!

10.000 steps a day,it sounds much,special for us who don´t have a job to go to.
I know,if you walk in a hospital,you walk alot every day at work.
Perhaps you shall buy a dog,and take it out for long walks.
For me,it´s easier to take long walks when the weather is good.


myLot reputation of 66/100. kcook57 (856)   ranked 14 out of 336 in walking  7 months ago

Yes I like to walk and plan on getting started with it really soon. I have a dog and she loves to walk with me...so soon I will be doing those 10,000 steps daily.


myLot reputation of 94/100. ennasus (280)  7 months ago

A dog is something I miss.
But you must have lots of time and patience when you´ve an animal

A whole 10,000 step you say?? Thinks about it for a minute. I guess, I will need to get up more often for coffee, and to go out and smoke. That would many a lot less myLotting time of course.*LOL*

heheheLOL! But so very true.
