How to walk 10,000 steps a day by jaynottar

How I did it: We were given a pedometer at work for some challenge thing that I actually didn't do, but I started taking my dogs for walks in the morning then walk the beach at night and eventually worked my way up to walking 5,000+ down the beach and then another back.  It's a good feeling seeing that 10,000 on your screen.  I've also started drinking green tea in an attempt and being healthier.  Sadly I cannot get enough steps at work … Read how I did it…

It took me
35 days
It made me
Energetic

How I did it: I started slow so that I would not burn out and stop walking. It took 35 days of really pushing towards it, and the walking then became a habit. The hardest thing was looking down at the pedometer, thinking I had reached the goal and realizing that I was well short of it. That got to be a little frustrating. I then began to challenge myself to little goals before I made it to 10,000 steps. That makes it easier. Drink water before yo… Read how I did it…

    I’ve got the pedometer, I’ve got a pair of excellent walking shoes, I have the goal but oftentimes I’m just too lazy to do the 10,000 steps a day. Especially on weekends.

    On weekdays, however; I get about 7,000 steps. My highest so far was 9,780. One of these days, I’ll get there.

    I’ve done this from time to time when it suited me; for the most part I prefer other ways of getting in enough exercise. I’ve done it enough to mark it complete though, so that’s what I’ll do.

    Been 2 weeks at this and have met my goal each day, am trying to push myself further and further to do more. I won’t say I have completed this yet. Will stick at it for a full month and then see if it feels completed, hehe

    I probably did this today and yesterday 5 months ago

    I went out looking for a job yesterday so I walked around my entire town for about 1 1/2 hours. I also went shopping today and walked around for about 5 hours so I have probably done 10,000 steps today and yesterday.

    I can do it regularly now 6 months ago

    Since I am a teacher, I need to walk all the time. I have found that whenever it is a school day, it is very easy for me to walk over 10,000 steps. So, I can do it at least 5 days a week.

    I have been carrying the Joy Walker with me every day. So far, (May 3), there’s no single day I can meet the target. How long does it take to walk 10000 steps?
