I think you can count any steps CHRISSIE21 - why not, they are still steps.

Hi Ceals

Thanks for your reply. I've only counted out walking so far.

You've earned them in my book - give yourself the benefit of counting them.

The steps are counted from all day. 10,000 steps from when you get up to when you go to bed.

It's your goals. Set them however you want them. :)

Good morning.

I personally think the aim is to do 10,000 steps a day either inside or outside but it's each to their own as it were.

I try not to count steps where I'm just going about my everyday life, so my steps are just for losing weight and anything I do at work or home I don't count.

I use Samsung Health on my phone and leave it on my desk or the sideboard as it counts everything, then when I want to count my steps pop it in my pocket and off I go, but it really is up to you.

It's one of those with no right or wrong answer.

Whichever way you do it, good luck
