I did 18,000 the day I went to Bulls Island and walked to Boneyard Beach. I was so tickled I took a picture of the pedometer. <br /><br />Pixel - That is exactly what I picture when I think of deliberately small steps!

I find that if I don't do anything special, I only get about 4,000 steps a day, so to hit the 10,000 steps target I need to take some long walks or get on a treadmill.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-23962156665103637742010-12-20T15:56:12.676-05:002010-12-20T15:56:12.676-05:00Sunshine - You are correct, every day a new study!...Sunshine - You are correct, every day a new study!<br /><br />James Jacks - Ha!

I pounded all of my problems into the pavement. <br /><br />Funny, I used to walk round and round a lake here at that time and I never walk that route anymore. I think I associate it with a negative time.Charlestonjoanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590582268028752174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-44558243653831460282010-12-20T08:41:06.362-05:002010-12-20T08:41:06.362-05:00On leaving Tony I found I was heavier than I wante...On leaving Tony I found I was heavier than I wanted to be and went and saw a doctor who prescribed I walk 5 miles a day EVERY day. it works. That was 1 August and I am 26 kilos lighter. As for mincing steps..pshawwwwww. I also find that walking helps balance me. Internally and outside.

I have a hard time getting 10,000 because of my long strides. <br /><br />Waldo - Funny :) That's what I'd rather do - walk further and enjoy it. <br /><br />Beach Bum - I had no idea you were that tall!

If I take smaller steps, I sweat more, suggesting more exertion.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-69923588283037217442010-12-19T22:37:35.597-05:002010-12-19T22:37:35.597-05:0010,000 is very hard for people with long strides. ...10,000 is very hard for people with long strides.

Glad to see 10 thou is back to active - we were all aiming for 10,000 steps a day at the job (well, all day and evening) and thrilled when we hit it only to read recently that 10,000 wasn't enough activity. Glad Dr. Oz back in our corner at least on that point.Susan Moorheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744130110550636177noreply@blogger.com
