See? I Am Not Completely Dumb!

I do not like walking the neighborhood for fear of dogs.
I do not like walking outside so as not to be made fun of.
So, I do in-home walking. I reset a pedometer almost every morning, clip the pedometer to my shoe and then attempt getting in as many steps/miles simply by walking around the inside of my house.
On Sparkpeople.com, there are even teams devoted to in-home walking.
Finally, no worrying about the weather!
In the attached article, glance what I have been doing along. See? I am not completely that dumb!

Do you ever reach 10,000 steps? To be honest, I rarely reach 10,000 no matter how much I walk throughout the day.
Have you ever heard of Leslie Sansone? She is kind-of like the in-home walking guru.

@Spontaneo I don't count. I just try to move around periodically.

@Spontaneo no, I wouldn't go walking inside a grocery store. I don't mind walking outside but I have neuropathy in my feet. I have a lot of pain and my toes are now numb.

Are there any other ways to get in some indoor walking? Your local grocery market?

When I am sitting on my porch, dogs bark but are not in sight. The minute (never fails) that I attempt to take a walk, a dog appears! For example, a neighbor had company with a pitbull completely running free. The company was there for about a month. Then, for example, last week, never fails, I wanted to take a stroll. 2 big bull dogs. It is as if there is a dog patrol in the neighborhood against me!.

I know... What am I supposed to wait for? Getting bit? People tell me I have no bites to worry about. My roommate even called the dog warden.

It's better than no walking for sure! Good for you!
