I use Garmin, counts lower than fit bit and Samsung, I vary between 8 and 25 k

And its NOT cardio , it is however excellent for fat loss

Cardio is exactly that any exercises that train the heart , often above 150 bpm

There and to the left a bit

I've only just got a smart watch that has a step counter as part of it's functionality and have found it's motivating me to walk more and generally be more active, and has actually shocked me how inactive I am some days - yesterday was a good one for me too though over 16000 steps

Hiding in the shadows

Not a clue

My watch gets confused!

I have a Samsung Gear, records everything else brilliantly, but steps are way out.

I do a 5km uphill walk 3times a week on the treadmill, it never records the full steps,

One day last week, I'd spent 9hrs driving, then the rest of the day in a small bungalow, but I'd done several 1000 steps more than an average day?

We both started off with targets at 10,000 and did this easily, so I've upped my daily target to 15,000 and always do much more. Record so far was 31,000 after a 12.5 mile walk.

It's a great way to keep fit, we love our Fitbits!

And I'm positive I didn't give the wanker sign to any other drivers that day - the kids were in the car

I walk a minimum of 5k a day+ whatever I do at work etc. I cant have my phone on me while I'm at work so dont get an accurate count.

I've got to get a fit bit or similar for that.

Wow you guys are impressive.

I can only average around 10-15k if I'm back in the UK/Ireland.

Otherwise it's a meagre 3-5k when I'm back home in Asia. It's too hot and humid here, I just have to drive.

Between 5000 and 7000 each day. I ride my bike much more than I walk, which is why my step count is so low. I was doing between 12000 and 18000 but injured my foot through over use, so now it's biking for me.

Averages as 16 thousand, thats about 6 miles.

The impact on your day it has will differ greatly from person to person.

For example I do most of my steps in one go, in an evening walk. 2 hours 6-7 miles. During this walk I don't stop once, and pace myself just under brisk so my heart rate goes up, and in the second hour I will sweat a little.

I have lost about 1 stone in a month doing this.

However, if I were to do 16,000 steps paced out over a 6 hour working day, then I might not lose any weight at all. I know a nurse who does 20,000 a day and does not lose any weight at all in work.

I've got the Samsung watch as well. It doesn't track cycling, spinning etc as steps that's just walking. I do use the exercise icon for these but on mine steps are steps weird. I'm a lazy ass for walking only achieve about 7000 on a good day.

We all know the wrist band counter counts a step whenever you scratch your bits, and I learned from this thread that the phone counts steps when you are in the bath.

My mate has a fitbit and I watch the counter go up as she lifts her coffee mug.

I tried MapMyWalk and that seemed more realistic, tracking my actual location. Got to remember to turn it off when I'm driving.
