Keeping fit, staying strong

[droverjess]

Well done everyone.
I have been doing lots of painting, several hours a day, as well as looking after the animals. Lots of bending and stretching but less walking.

Yesterdays steps 8084. I was on a course for 3 hours where I didnt really move at all. I can understand how hard it woukd be for people sitting at a desk all day to reach 10,000 steps.

Not wearing it today as at a water park, lots of walking there

I wish i could do that many steps in a day, at work..

Maybe you could get up every 15 minutes and take a walk out the front of the shop when your not busy.

Perhaps walk around when you're on the phone and check the stock or something. It all helps.

[Halex]

Cookie, have you charged your fitbit?

Found on UP there are different forms of exercise you can put in, so thats great news

Spent 2.5 hours in the dentists chair today so nit looking promising for steps.

Yes Hally I have charged it up a bit. I've also linked it to the iPad. At the moment I do something and go and look at it. I have also put all my days food in. It will make me keep track of what I eat.

[obbie]

Yes, I get up and walk around the shop, talk to people next door.

Maybe you could buy a skipping rope

We got a dog 12 months ago, and I have lost 12 kg and the only thing I have done different  is walking, I walk 30 to 40 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening, every day 7 days a week , even in winter and have never felt so good. I wonder how much more I would lose if I stop drinking  

[Halex]

Thanks Katj, yesterday instead of the car I walked everywhere, was pretty tired last night

Thermo18, walking is great & its free

Doing reasonably well - now that school is back there is a bit more walking on a regular basis. I find my weekend step counts are a bit low, but then I did have a sore knee last week & into the weekend, so was taking it easy.

I made it to the gym this morning (first time this week - just flat out catching up with work), so feeling pretty good about that, and a school mum friend (our kids played miniball together last year, and are now in same class, and her youngest is at kindy with mine) was also there - we didn't know we went to the same gym, so that's potentially a motivation booster.  Good to have a gym buddy.

I have new walking shoes, and the kids are encouraging me.

I have been walking on weekends, but need to do more than 2 days a week.
