The Gransnet 10,000 steps a day club

Yes, definitely walking more. Of course started off great guns first week or two, but settled into a steadier pattern now, with a respectable total most days and one which is gradually increasing.
Well done others.
Sorry Purple I have used Map my Walk on my phone but prefer the simplicity of a good pedometer.

I have just had a look at iPod mini bought for my birthday by Mr Purple with music in mind and it has a fitness, step counter app built in. Has anybody used this? I do want to have a go at doing this before winter sets in and waistline expands beyond all recognition.

10,800 on Friday, and 8.900 on saturday. This thread has encouraged me to increase my steps again, and so far, so good with the foot problems

10144 for me today out to tea tomorrow so lots of cake not many steps perhaps

Clocked up 14,500 on Thursday day up in London and a lot of walking, but only managed a miserable 7,800 Friday due to aching feet. 10,525 for today clocked up mainly taking our granddaughter to the swings in Bushy Park. Putting my feet up now with a glass of wine.

I hope you did manage to sleep eventually Versavisa, I'm having a lazy day so will probably be awake tonight too. No chance of 5000 steps today never mind 10, 000!

No Rosannie and I'm still not asleep. Having major trouble getting to sleep most days. Am going with the flow and only going to bed when I'm exhausted.

Ps versavisa, obviously not asleep at a decent hour!

Well, back to average - 5754 ! Still hoping to make at least 3 10,000 days next week .

10201 from me today not hopeful for tomorrow as travelling and furniture shopping.

Glad to hear some of you are sleeping better now (that's what I was hoping to hear) as I'm not. My sleep pattern is all over the place but I'm trying to ignore it and hope it fall into a decent pattern eventually.

We'll done you Rosannie not sure I'll make it today but,plenty of time yet.

At last! 11, 534 steps yesterday the first time I have broken the 10,00 barrier since I joined your club! Youngest grandchild is full time in school from next week so hoping to have time for longer walks.

9437 yesterday, so didn't quite make it.

7,500 yesterday, and my feet aren't too painful this morning. I love having a pedometer again!

10356 from me today

I too am sleeping better and seem to have more energy although that could be me just trying to boost my total, but on the whole am enjoying the challenge.

Versa, as I have mentioned before, I have been sleeping better. On Saturday I only did around 4000 steps, and got about 2 hours sleep! My resting heart rate is going down and I am sure I recover more quickly. Hope you will soon feel the benefits.

Very few steps for me yesterday, as might be expected. If I can get fitter I hope to be able to recover faster.

Has anyone noticed any benefits yet? I haven't, though it's early days I know.

10,191 for me yesterday. Got a free day today so have a choice - be lazy or go for the record! May end up somewhere betwen the two.

I have just bought a fitbit and after wearing it all day have clocked up 10494 steps and 4.87 miles. I only went out for a short walk but live in a town house and have been up and down the stairs so many times today as was packing for a holiday in Suffolk/Norfolk. Might be going to Walberswick too!
Am looking after GD tomorrow which usually involves going out for a good walk.

Thanks chloe. Amazing total Cari.

Have a great day Terri

Fantastic result Versavisa. Didn't make the grade today, have just gone over 9,000, maybe a few more before bedtime but I wont get up to the magic 10 once I sit down for Bake Off at 8, probably wont get up again. Up to town tomorrow, for hubby's b'day I have a meal and a theatre trip booked and we won't be taking the tube!

10078 for me today do not anticipate adding many more as I too am sitting waiting for the Bake Off. Well done to youversa and you Cari amazing totals.
