Isn’t that annoying? I turned it off to preserve sanity & equilibrium. 🤣

It is... but it’s kept me moving during taper...

What it needs is the opposite function... a “beer bar” hit goals and it says “you’re done, have a pint” 🤣

Thanks... wanted to see how long I could keep it brisk, and was very impressed with myself, I was expecting the second half to slow down.

Ok....what’s all this about? 🙄😂😂😂! Sounds like it could be good, but maybe a little challenging to fit more things to do in the daily routine. Curiosity? 🤭❤️

Active 10... 3 x 10 minutes of brisk walking a day... big health benefits, unlike 10k steps, and easy to fit in to a busy life. Running counts too, so you’d not be doing it every day.

Active 10 means going into HR zone 2, and scores towards the 150 minutes of cardio a week recommended by the NHS... running can go HR zone 2-5 the higher rates score double as far as the 150 target is concerned, but it gets complicated as different HR zones give different benefits. Or... you could just go walk/run and not worry about those stats... something like mapmywalk will keep you going at the right pace, the active 10 app records the stats that really matter.

Well that sounds great! I’m just like a magpie here!! 😂 Might just give it a go! ❤️

Cool... I find it a great motivator to not get in the car... by supermarket is about 10 minutes brisk walking away... of course some weeks I now spend more time there than their staff as the weekly shop is hard to carry home 🤣

I think there’s lots of benefits to getting out. Maybe the weekly shop would be too much of a challenge, but walking is a good form of meditation to clear the head. It would be good for my getting out and staying active in all weather’s mission. A few extra pounds off too before Christmas maybe? 🤞🏽😂 I’m going to try it! ❤️

Very good! But not quite the thing - I think you are meant to put in active tens every day! But bask in the fabulous achievement for today.

You’re absolutely correct, it’s a daily thing... I went back to my normal 3 for a couple of days after that one.
