The Gransnet 10,000 steps a day club

9983 for me today so nearly made it and am hoping to tomorrow.

It's ok! according to this article you only need to do 7,500!

Thanks Jingle, interesting!

Yes, interesting.

Interesting article Jingle! Sadly after yesterday's target hitting I am down to 4800 today.#lazycow.

Thanks Jing useful article that has given me hope. 7,500 is doable for me.

I have not even thought about 10,000 steps NanKate. My theory was: first week record. Some days were appallingly low because I was "working", sewing and crafting and didn't move a lot. The days when I do Mum's or my cleaning or other jobs for Mum were much better. So second week - increase appallingly low days with a walk. I was not aiming at anything other than an increase. When these days pass the "care" days I will start to add walks to increase them and then increase the walks to two on the very sedentary days to pass the caring days, etc., etc.,

I don't have a real aim in view although I gather 5,000 is what an average person does so that on every day would be good. As you get older any moving is good so I love my pedometer which encourages me to do a little more each day. I do wish I had realised it had a personal alarm before I called the alarm company out but that's another story

Oh dear, Gracesgran Do you have the same pedometer as me, a Tanita with alarm?
I managed 10,351 yesterday, and on 11,112 so far today.

I am so impressed by those of you who are reaching the 10,000 and more!

It is the Tanita shysal and obviously the alarm is a wonderful idea - I just wish I had read the instructions . I like the fact that it says "hello" to me each morning too ... but I am easily pleased.

10351 for me today am happy that I have managed that as didn't think I had walked that far really.

11,,237 today.

Yipee! 11,532 today

A good day for a few of us today - probably the lovely weather helped. We have been walking around Wisley today and managed 11734 - but at quite a dawdling pace!

Haven't we all done well

Yes,*Anya*, a pat on the back for all!

10,842 for me yesterday. Ramblers' 5 mile walk today, around river near Abingdon, should cover today's quota.

10277 for me yesterday off for a browse around some shops so hoping to reach 10000 today.

Just topped 13,000 yesterday, due to an unexpected longish walk to pub yesterday evening for a meal with extended family. Not so sure I will do so well today.

12,127 yesterday, my best yet, but my knees and ankles are shouting NO this morning.

11,821 for me yesterday. BLT class this morning will take care of about 4,000. Making up the rest is less daunting than a whole 10,000 on non-class days.

Only 5824 for me yesterday spent a lot of time travelling to the shops well my DH always insists on travelling the scenic route! And did spend a lot of time sitting by the river eating ice cream don't think that helped.

Sitting by the river sounds idyllic Chloe, including the ice cream! Hopefully this spell of nice weather will make the winter seem shorter .

Have to say it was very nice like to take a selfie at each place we go send it to DDs who like to see how we are spending their inheritance!

A good 10,000 plus yesterday and a pathetic 5700 today. I think I'll go and find a river tomorrow and just sit and watch it flow. It's very soothing.
