April steps challenge

Hi guys!!

Wow, can't believe it is April already

Is anyone still getting their daily steps in??

I can't wait for the gym to open, but I've really enjoyed walking - I've found so many places that I didn't even know were on my doorstep.. I might even walk to and from the gym when it reopens

Post your progress.... Get motivated, share your highs + lows!

My steps really vary during the week depending on work and family. Some days I'll get 20,000 easy others I struggle to get 6,000

I really notice the days I don't get as many I actually feel more lethargic. Longer days now though means I can get out properly after work

Walking my dog - I love getting out into the forests with him and tramping about. The longer days at work where I'm chained to the laptop on Teams calls/training are the worst days - they drain the soul from you!!

Although I've been threatening to go for a walk I can't seem to get out of the door.

I'm working from home and hardly leave the house.

Then I feel more unmotivated because I didn't make it.

Keep telling myself... get off your arse!

Annabelle that was me last month! Then I joined the fab steps challenge and it was enough motivation to get me out and about.. I decided to try and walk 5km per day.. Once you get going it's relatively easy

I walk 3 to 3 and a half miles every lunchtime.

I've no idea what that is in steps, it's whatever I can fit into an hour.

I managed an 8 mile walk the past weekend....loved it...just get out and push the boundaries

Good on you

Tomorrow I'm going to take a walk just to the local shop during lunchtime.

I'll go the long way round and hopefully a few days o f doing that will inspire me to walk further. Build it up... a little walk is better than no walk eh!

I'm glad it worked for you..I'll think of this thread as I throw myself out the door

According to Google... 3-3.5 miles is roughly equivalent of 7-7.5k steps

I might invest in a fitbit, or something else that records steps..

My phone is no use as it doesn't record steps while it's in my bag.

I really should set up my fitbit but I'm so bad at remembering it hehe

I only do 5 miles a day before work. No idea how many steps that is but it takes me about 1 1/2 hours over difficult terrain so I'm guessing not that many if some of you are walking 2.5 hours a day plus!!

One day at a time, keep making the choice to go out and do it and it will soon become habit.

5 miles is around 8km, which is around 10-11k steps i think, so you are pretty much on track !
