How to walk 10,000 steps a day
It made me
healthy, relaxed
 How I did it: By getting a pedometer and wearing it every day first to see how many steps I did and increasing slowly; joining website for walkers and logging everyday. Going out for walks in pleasant places. |

It made me
How I did it: Since I am a teacher, I need to stand and walk all the time. After I carried my pedometer with me, I found that it was very easy to walk over 10000 steps. Read how I did it…
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 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.
woohoo

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 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

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?

I would walk 10,000 steps

I keep forgetting to put the pedometer on. I received one free from Liverpool’s Big Loser thing to lose weight and I have had it for ages, so it’s time to put it to good use.
I didn’t put the pedometer on until I was going out, and even then I forgot until I had been walking for 10 minutes.
I estimate that I walked 1000 steps in my house and another 1000 steps until I put it on. The pedometer says 7866, so altogether 9866!
But also I noticed it didn’t count all my steps so it was possibly more as I walked 1.8 miles each way to the pub. If I guess that my stride is 1’6’’ there are 3520 steps in a mile. (http://www.walk4life.com/customerservice/forms_stepstomiles.aspx)
And I walked 3.6 miles so 12672.
So I have 3 totals, the definate 7866 from the pedometer.
The 9866 from the pedometer and addition.
And at least 12672 from that website.
AAArgh!!!! I think I am ok today. I will take it as I have walked 10,000!

This is more an entry for my overall goals.
I’ve had a “blip” – an extended blip, if you like- through October and now winter is coming in fast, I need to motivate. Properly.
I am doing more walking than I was over the summer, but that’s purely due to walking to college and back every day. From today I’m going to take my pedometer with me everywhere to get a baseline measure of the walking I’m doing on an average week, then go from there.
I’m determined to do this.
