Alerter,
Thanks for the health tip, makes sense, and lookin out for the community at large

I get my steps in every day ,
I hang in my Granpa shed…

( “Granpa, why are your eyes always glassy when you come in from the shed?
“Allergies Kid, Allergies.

Figure it’s 20 feet from my back door to the shed… I make this journey multiple times a day as I’m in my 60’s, and tend to empty my kidneys several times a day ….

im doin my part

I love this thread RD. Thank you.

30 minutes a day of walking can make a big difference. If you need to buy something from a grocery and it's just a walkable distance then walk. Stop making excuses.

That is good just saying to lose weight fast go 5 miles a day as many days a week possible

Yeah 5 miles is a steady grind, but @jjgold said 10,000 “is ok“. That’s an absolutely ludicrous statement lol.

I've been walking multiple times per week since August of 1989. At first it was 3 to 4 times per week. The last few years it's only been 2 to 3 times per week.

Since I've been getting fewer steps I've decided to get more by using a trick. Instead of parking as close to the door of the supermarket or doctor's/dentist's office or restaurant, I'll park far away in the parking lot.

I think the best part is not having to navigate my vehicle into a tight parking space. I just park out where no other vehicles are.

I do the same exact thing at the supermarket or stores when I’m shopping. Since I live in South Florida, and it’s primarily hot all the time I like to find a parking spot with shade, and that is far away from the building to help get my daily steps in.

Unless you're in a job that you're on your feet most of the day, getting to 10k/day requires additional work. i.e. walk/job a couple miles outside of the job.


I've read the new "target" is at least 6k/day to stay healthy. More if you want to get healthier.

Fortunately, we have a treadmill in the garage so I can watch games while I jog. Goes by quick.

 

[aikman.tr]

Pedo-meter just sounds so wrong

 

[jjgold]

45 minutes or

30 minutes light jog
