10,000 Steps A Day Challenge
As I mentioned on the Hoosier Losers blog, I am challenging everyone to walk 10,000 steps a day in order to get active. Please feel free to post your steps on here as I will be doing. I am going to Wal-Mart tomorrow on my lunch hour to buy a new pedometer, as the one I have does not seem to be working properly. My steps tomorrow will be from about noon to the end of the day. It is really going to be a challenge to get 10,000 steps in because I have a very sedentary job. I sit in front of the computer for 8 hours a day, relieved only by walking to the printer (about 10 steps from my desk) and the bathroom (about 20 steps from my desk). I will have to get on the treadmill in the basement to make up the majority of them. HOWEVER, I will do it.

Are you walking to Walmart??
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking i got an junky pedometer. I put it on at 2 when i got back from lunch and I thought it was working ok but when i got home from the ballgame (i had to park very far away) and then walked on the treadmill it only said 170 steps. I'm going to take it back tomorrow and get a different one. Hope everyone else did better than i did :)
ReplyDeletei took back the first pedometer and bought a more expensive one that is not any better. maybe i am not meant to wear one :) I am taking it back tomorrow and looking somewhere besides wal-mart. Anyway, we are leaving for Florida tomorrow so I won't be posting any steps on here for a while but I do plan to post pictures from our vacation. :)
