The ‘step’ thing

Those who read this on a regular basis will remember me commenting on Dhealth.

They’ve got an interesting start.  It will be neat to see them grow and implement their plans.

But on to the step thing.

I’ve recorded 7 days of steps and …. I have been walking an average of 8,521 steps.  Of course, one of those was Sunday, when we were snow bound.

I like the pedometer — I haven’t really calibrated it, but that’s okay, I think I just care about the steps.

It’s an Omron, and looks pretty good.  I haven’t decided if I’m going to try for the 10,000 step thing or not.

    So I’ve been using both dHealth and a pedometer for a while now.
    What’s your trick for getting such a high average? If I don’t use the treadmill I can’t even break 7,000.
    I’ve an Accusplit, 1,300 so far today. It’s not going to be a good numbers day from that point of view.

    well, it doesn’t just happen, that’s for sure. normally after a day of work i get home and i have maybe 6,000 steps. then i either go to the gym to meet my goal (3 times a week, maybe) or go for a walk (it is cold so i have only done that once) or generally, end up walking in place in my house!!!! but i just keep doing it because i want to meet my daily goal… i have also started taking more bathroom breaks to walk down the long hall way… and then used the stairs more. hoping the little things add up.
