Health experts recommend walking 10,000 steps a day. Do you? How many steps do you walk a day and how do you do that? I don't get that much exercise with my work so I have to make an effort to incorporate walking into my life and have difficulty making it to 10,000 steps a day. Guess I should make it a committed exercise. At one point, I actually took a job while I was taking classes that required being on my feet all day and walking because I thought it would be good for me physically to have that exercise even though it wasn't a job that appealed to me in any other way. Now I am often at a computer and I miss that regular physical movement. Tell me how much you walk and how it is incorporated in your day.

You are doing very well in your walking. By your reference to your broken pedometer I can tell it is something you pay attention to. I admire that.

I always wanted to buy a step counter to see how much I can walk during the day. I try to walk as much as possible. I avoid elevators and escalators and try my best to be physically fit. I don't exercise too much and I don't go to the gym so walking everyday is all I have. If I can avoid using a shortcut, I will and will walk as much as possible
