Ok, maybe not a big step for most, but it was for me. I purchased a Pedometer, one that was a beginner model, without all the confusing stuff. . . Sport Line had a great one with the extra clip to keep it in place and not falling off your ever loosening waste band.
There was this label on it saying "Perfect for the 10,000 Step Programs". Thought it would be cool to keep track of how much I was walking. I walk a lot in the office, but sit quite a bit when I get home. Thought it would be a piece of cake.
I was certain that the pedometer was lying. I was averaging 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day. Way below what I was expecting.
Everything that I have been reading tells me that 10,000 Step Programs cover about 5 miles and you need to walk 5 miles a day to help you really begin to loose weight.
So I have started my "Life Style Change" by making sure that I get up more often during the day to walk down the hall, to check on things out in the shop and so forth. My numbers are getting up, but still way short of the expected 10,000 steps per day.
Footnote: I believe that I've now reached 10,000 Steps on 5 different days since I began monitoring this. Definately not as easy as I have thought it would be. . .
