10,000 steps  

Wow, congratulations! I have never really tried doing that, but I am always thinking that I should try sometime. I know that I have a pedometer somewhere at home, so I really need to fish it out and do that sometime. I am curious as to how many steps I normally walk throughout the day, and I think having a specific number like that in mind would probably be good motivation to get more exercise also. Good luck with your weight loss!

I've always fancied trying one of those. My son got one for Christmas, but mislaid it somewhere. I've always wanted to see just how far I walk just on a day to day basis, without doing anything special. Like you, a dog walk would be a fair way. Then there's up and down to the veg field. I think I should get extra points for going up and down hills too!

Have you got any idea how far 14000 steps is? I suppose you'd have to measure one step and work it out.

I have not tried it, but yes, I have heard that. I have had various pedometers, the best one being from Radio Shack, but I drop them, break them, or they refuse to reset. I may get around to it this summer. Good luck to you. One summer the weight just seemed to fall off of me.

I've read from an book that 30,000 steps per day can deal with all the calories u have that day. But it really takes lots of time.
I've tried once that it took me at least 2 hours to reach 17,000 steps.

And one of my friend who walked every day from home to school in 2 month, it takes half an hour for each journey. She'd lost 4 kilogrammes.

well thats marvelous man....i never knew bout this can be achieved literally....

Good for you spiritwolf! Those pedometers are great, aren't they? We don't realize just how much walking we do in a day.
Of course, 3 walks a day with your dogs is helping a lot to bump up the steps - but it all helps. Let us know when the weight starts falling off!
I have a walking machine at home which tells me how many kilometers I've walked, and how many calories I've burnt - and it all helps phychologically when you see what you've achieved.
Well done on the 14,000 steps!

Way to go!

i heard that little cute babies can take 1000 (one thousand) steps an hour.. Amazing isnt it? lol

I am quite interested in getting a pedometer, I was looking at them on ebay today and I am still in two minds on whether to get one. I am hoping to find somewhere that hands them out for free, I know the Special K used to, so I assume that other companies do the same. You know anywhere?
