Walking

[BJ_WA]

I did 18K, did enough to just get 9 miles yesterday and the knee was screaming. Last week I did 119K and was a few hundred shot of 120. I thought maybe I should keep a log and so as to do a few extra to get past a round number, if that makes sense. This week I know I won't get near 120K but will shoot for it next week. We'll see.

Walking good no matter what. But. It not about miles, steps, or hours. For max benefit you need walk brisk to get heart beating certain amount for at least 30 minutes. Longer the better. But if can no do that then just walk whatever. Anything better than nothing.

Understood. My first degree was in P.E. and did 21 in the army. I have a bad knee which probably needs replacing one of these years. I do what I can do. The left knee has been replaced so there's no running, just walking.

Well I'm up to walking about 15k per day with heart rate up. Another 10-12 from just the job, walking around the house, etc.

I actually found my old Omron Pedometer, it's still on Amazon too. LOL! Thing has to be 10 years old! Price and features it's between a basic stop watch and the least expensive fitbit. It does what I need.

Lol! Thanks fj for bringing this up. 7 years later, I'm averaging 19k per day. I've moved up to Samsung smart watch, sucker was $250+. It pains me to say it, worth it. Lol!

I would go insane without a watch. The would not allow us to bring a watch to PT in Drill Instructor School and it drove me NUTS. Bought a second one, took off the strap, and kept it in the postage stamp-size pocket in my PT shorts

Don't do the fitbit. Been curious a time or two how many steps I take chasing grandkids up and down stairs all day. Not curious enough to pay through the nose to find out. Try to walk 40 mins or run 20 daily. That wagon hasn't been consistent since before Christmas. These people will just not all go back to school at the same time. One's home today. Spring Break. The others had Spring Break last week

Obviously I like it for the pedometer. It's also waterproof, so it'll record laps and aerobic water exercise. HR is built in. BUT, the best feature for me is hearing related. It signals calls, texts, emails. Synced with my calendar, gives me reminders. Timer and alarm vibrate.
