Have you got a fitbit?

I have a jawbone, same type of thing. I find it hard to get beyond 6k but suspect if I was younger, still working and with kids to run after I'd have no problem!

I have had one for a few years. I thought the daily target was 1000 steps, maybe they have reduced it to be within more people's reach!
However the important thing, I feel, is to do what you can and increase gradually. I have a few health issues and aim for at least 2000 - that's just a trip to the local shops. I am happy with 4000-5000 and have only achieved 10000 a few times.
The Fitbit has made me far more conscious of how far I walk. If I miss a bus I now walk to the next stop and I don't put off going upstairs until Ihave several things to carry up.
Mine really has helped improve my health and mobility. I hope you enjoy, and benefit from, yours!
My daughter's has prompted her to take up regular running, entering Park Runs and getting in daily competition with other mum's!

Yes, I've got one in my bedside drawer. I could only achieved the required steps per day if I put my life on hold and walked for hours a day. I have been decorating and gardening recently and am getting a far better full body workout for less steps.
