Well this week i have achieved my own mini goal of 6000 steps minimum per day for a full week 46,547 that is about 22miles. Plus 2 .5 miles on my bike. My cycling is steady as it's nearly 50 years since I have last been on a bike until recently.
I usually start the week very well but seem to struggle on a Thursday for some unknown reason i pick up again Saturday and Sunday. However I was determined to dig deep and achieve. Thank you Caz for spurring me on.
I aim to increase again to 7000 per day - I would like a couple of weeks consistent with 6000 before i do increase.
I am mindful of making my goals achievable.
Started at 5000 now on 6000 moving towards 7000 working towards 10.000 👍☺
Thank you for the information Caz just gone through the research and the benefits between running v walking. Interestingly the results are the same in relation to cardiovascular disease hypertension etc. ☺☺☺
Thank you let's see what today brings. Nip in the air this morning😀
Well done you-so pleased you persevered and reached your goal.
I had the same intention for the past week but only for 3000steps and mostly walking around the house and garden but I did manage it in small bits. Making the most of the lower humidity.
Impressed that you went out on the bike too,you really are on a roll.🙂
Oh thanks 70 plus for your kind comments of support.
My initial journey with steps was spasmodic very up and down.
Then I had labyrinthitis which severely affected my balance and impacted on what I could physically do.
So I have just had to persevere and build it back up. So 3000 is a good place to start. I agree.☺that's great.
I might go 6500 opposed to 7000 for a few days however I do achieve above 6000 some days - Baby steps.
I'm afraid I am built for comfort not for speed. I also do the walking around the garden and house to get steps in.
Yes went out on the bike -chased by a dog 🐶and managed to come up the incline towards home 2 lamp posts from home. (note incline not hill) and I had to stop. 😨Cramp in the thighs. So walked 👣to the last lamp post from home and got back on the bike and finished my adventure. Yea!!!!!!🐢
Well done Truly Plumptious! (Phone does not want to play this morning! ) I am just getting ready for my walk this morning - only really started last week but hoping it will continue to be enjoyable and not feel like a chore Am impressed with the bike riding too!!
Congratulations. I wish I could do as well. I'm trying to do 5000 steps/day and it seems like mission impossible so I know how hard you must have worked at it👏👏😀
Hello Crochethooked - in case you are disappointed not to get a response from this thread (although some names are still here) it looks to me as if it dates back 2 years.... See under the username. At least on mine it does! So it was amazing but amazing quite a while ago!
