I Walked 10,026 Steps Today

When I mentioned that I wasn't walking the dogs across the street anymore and was disappointed that I won't get as many steps in, I had forgotten that when I go to the fitness center, I usually hit my goal. I have not been to the fitness center here since the middle of November. We left for our cruise on 11/14, and we came home on 12/2 and then it was the Christmas season and I was baking and shopping and wrapping presents and decorating so my only exercise for the whole month of December was walking our dog. But now that the holidays are over, it's time for me t get back to taking better care of myself. Part of my fitness routine is walking on the treadmill, which of course adds steps. So I did well today because of that workout and I also did some cleaning earlier this morning. I will try to go to the fitness center every other day. Do you belong to a gym or fitness center?

How did you count them all?

@Aquitane24 I wear a pedometer hooked to my waistband every day and that counts them for me. I could have gotten a Fitbot but that was too complicated for me.

There’s a fitness center at church, and I use it. I usually only walk, though.

No, we do not belong to a gym or fitness center, but we go out every day for a long walk. The past week we walked 12,600 steps and NOT on flat roads, yesterday we did a little more than 10,000. Today I have printed the pathway where I plan to walk, it should be again a little more than 10,000.

That may be more fun than going to a gym.

@Aquitaine24 I love a lot more to walk outside in the clean chilly air than staying inside a gym.

We are to far from the gyms so I bought a treadmill. I seldom use it. But if I have a show on that I don't want to miss anything I do walk on it. So it's still worth having bought it

Glad you met your goal. Do you enjoy going to the fitness centre?I confess I can't think of anything more boring than going to a gym.

We don't belong to one but we have a gym and swimming pool at our lifestyle village. We need to make more use of it.

Two years ago I brought my husband a smart watch that tracks how many steps he has done each day. So for the last two years I have had an update on this everyday. He gets worried if he does not do a certain amount of steps each day. As I am always telling him, it depends on what you are doing because some days you are going to walk more than others .He does try to do at least ten thousand each day.
