I am doing re-hab after surgery, and slowly building up my walking (not going far) to help myself get better. Today for the first time I tried out the Active 10 app. Even on my short little walk around the corner and back again, I did 23 mins of walking 12 of which were brisk! Very satisfying to see I did quite well when I wasn't even trying.
In my normal life I have a long walk to the station to work, and probably walk a fair bit at work as well, so I will be very interested to see my average daily steps total.

I will, nothing but sofa time for the rest of the day! I promise!!
Well done Ruby8 - that's terrific! And 23 minutes of walking during surgery rehab is really good - taking it slow and rebuilding your strength and stamina is definitely the way to go. Get better soon!
Yes, runswithdogs , I feel fine. We are supposed to go for a short walk each day. I have been for a five minute walk so far today, and might do that again this afternoon.
