The Gransnet 10,000 steps a day club

Good total Terri

Just under 10,000 today and no achy ankles either from hard pavements. Been walking in the Forest of Dean and it's springy and easy to walk on the forest paths.

Thank you Chloe, it's lovely up here we have been lucky with the weather, hope it lasts for your trip.

I forgot to reset my pedometer today so estimate only about 5000. Off to Norfolk coast tomorrow for the day so will try and push all the right buttons. Well done terribull that's a great result. Sounds like you had a lovely day.

11,168 visiting Felbrigg Hall in Norfolk, possibly will get up to 12,000ish before bed.

I've done 4500 so far today, but that's not bad as I spend most of the day sitting in my office at work. The majority of my steps are gained walking to and from the office.

I've just bought a Fitbit and it's great. It tells me how many active minutes I've had to gain those 4500 steps (22 mins and just over 3kms) and how long and how beneficial my sleep is ( I was awake for 36 minutes and 54 minutes restless sleep!!)

Managed 10,164 yesterday by adding a short walk after dinner.

It's a competition to me chloe1984, but only against myself!

You definitely get a wow from me chloe 13,491 steps is a lot of walking, I wouldn't be able to walk for a week I don't think if I'd done that much - it's about 5 or 6 miles? Hope you had a lovely day.

13491 for me today a personal best. My DH walked me all round the Abbey Gardens then on to a supermarket and back.... Do not intend to walk another step as am spent , will crawl up to bed. Will all change tomorrow as I go to my slimming club which involves driving there and eating cake afterwards.

11,324 a coastal walk and sightseeing around Holt and Wells by Sea in Norfolk, made up for yesterday only reached 6,000ish due to travelling for several hours in car, but did stop in lovely Ely, Cambridgeshire for some sightseeing and made up a few steps there.

No worries versa it's not a competition we all support each other , hope you have a better day today all round. As for the cycling upsydaisy all I can say is WOW.

Better luck today Versa, hope you are feeling better. As a rough guide, 10 minutes clocks up around 1000 steps.

(Yesterday's total for me was 11,623)

Well, I was hoping to start this off in style but after indigestion and backache attacked me I spent the rest of the day in a chair. I managed 2820 steps just doing the washing and other housework so I was disappointed not to get further. Ah well, today is another day, and I have got to do a couple of short walks. It will be interesting to see how they clock in.

Lovely to meet you all, and hope you had better days at meeting your targets.

Yes welcome Versa and yes we are inconsistent, but trying. I've clocked up 9,200 today and that was shopping and browsing. I felt I just wanted to sit and read, but forced myself out of the house and clocked up a decent total after all.

Well I've kicked the walking into touch, it's too boring, my foot still hurts and it keeps raining all the time. Soooo today I cycled 19 miles on a day out in Blackpool, my favourite cycling place. Cleveleys to St Annes and back. Was a lovely afternoon, sunny and warm but very, very windy. Hard work cycling against a force 10 headwind.

I'm done for today 11061 which for me is excellent. See how I do tomorrow, but counting steps is making me more inclined to get up and make a cup of tea or anything that will increase my total.

Swings and roundabouts after my last two mammoth days, steps wise. Only clocked up a woeful 3,500ish yesterday, but was too busy to go walking. We are off to Norfolk today, and a long car journey doesn't give much opportunity for stepping it out today either so it will be another lowish day for me. However, hope to do a few bracing walks along the coast through the rest of the week to make up.

Welcome to the club Versavisa you will see from previous posts we aren't a very consistent lot. Unfortunately don't think the washing will count otherwise I would be a star performer!

Please may I join you? Just the motivation I need as I've got very lazy lately.

I've installed the Accupedo app, tested it and am raring to go. Wonder how just putting the washing out will count? I've got a mountain of it to do.

Only 5313 for me yesterday Sundays always a bit difficult . However off for a longish walk today so hoping for an improvement.

14,147 yesterday. Sundays are good for me as I always walk for 2 hours with a friend. We chatter for the whole time so hardly notice the creaky knees.

Almost 11,000 today. Daren't post what I walked the last few days but not impressive

9194 for me , which I am pleased with , Sunday is always a difficult day for me to get my steps in so will see what happens.

Long walk today 15,751 very pleased with that.

Shopping...the New Keep Fit!

The day I spent browsing shops on Liverpool Choe I clocked up 15,000 so it could well be accurate.
