What's your steps today?

I think I'm just over 11,000.

I'm just asking so I can see what other people are up to.

50,000 steps a day? That's almost 40km! Are they training for ultramarathons or something?

BigGreenOlives · 14/06/2016 08:05

My target is set to 12000 but I try to do closer to 20,000. I've only gone over 25,000 twice.

I've been active since I got up and at 2000+

But those ladies or gents up for a challenge who don't feel they can or want to hit 20,000. Just do as much as you can without causing yourself pain or any other bad things :).

Also... 50,000 a day? WTF, I think if I did that I couldn't move for a week!

Good luck today :)

Also slight rant... Told DH about the challenge and instead of being supportive, all I got was 'do they know you're cheating? You're working out at home!' Ass.

21,000 steps today. I accidentally friended people who do 50k a day - the workweek hustle has me battling to at least not come last. Mid week I hit 20k - weekends it's usually a lot less

InMySpareTime · 13/06/2016 22:58

11k, but I had to jog round the bedroom for the last thousand, as I got a lift home!

StickTheDMWhereTheSunDontShine · 13/06/2016 22:41

And no chance of 20K, here. I've beaten 15K just twice and it wiped me out, both times. I have some physical problems and tend to fatigue quite easily. My happy point is about 11-13K.

20 years ago, I'd have done 20K without even feeling it.

StickTheDMWhereTheSunDontShine · 13/06/2016 22:36

Pretty poor for a school day, but I've not been feeling so well. 8157.

HeffalumpHistory · 13/06/2016 22:34

Actually looking forward to the challenge!
Me too op! I've never really been into the gym or anything but have been amazed at my motivation to meet my goal/beat DP since getting my Fitbit. Lost 9lb without even feeling like I was trying all that hard

PseudoBadger · 13/06/2016 22:12

Just sitting down to watch GoT with 21500, so by the time I've done the dishwasher, tumble drying, let the dogs out, locked up etc I'll finish on 22000 I reckon.

CuntTrollingRs · 13/06/2016 21:17

I like hearing about and meeting people who are fitter than me. It's an inspiration rather than an irritation.

Swissgemma · 13/06/2016 21:13

And yet @Twowrongsdontmakearight you still posted your steps and target... I really don't care how many steps other people have as their target, whether they hit target or not... that doesn't impact on my fitness or my targets! however, I find in life that I perform better if I have a target or a purpose so I use challenges to do that!

I would suggest that if you really didn't care you wouldn't've posted! I think by their nature fitbit users are competitive, target orientated people (note I said users not owners! a fitbit in a drawer is not being used!).

CuntTrollingRs · 13/06/2016 21:05

16997

I average around 120-130k a week, target 15000 daily.

Well done on everyone's steps today, regardless of how much you've done!.

How about, those up for the 20,000 challenge tomorrow post a screenshot of their accomplishment. Around 7:30/8pm tomorrow eve I'll start a new post with my screenshot of (hopefully) my 20,000!

Closest I've ever come is little over 17000 2 days ago! So will have to push myself extra hard for it!

You're all pretty active compared to me!. I'm trying to loose a fair amount of weight so am eating healthily and pushing myself to do more.

When I loose about 2 stone I'll start going to the gym to tone up :)

Haven't yet managed a 20,000 day but am up for trying.

Woopsiedaisy · 13/06/2016 20:50

11,202 and about to go for a 2,500 step walk (regular route)

I aim for 80,000 a week. That is necessary as I am recovering from two Heart Attacks last year. The second one nearly killed me and we then discovered I had a silent Genetic condition which causes my heart to just go into Spasm.

I love my fitbit, feel like it is saving my life and have just upgraded. It makes me get up and out regardless of the temperature or the weather.

eurochick · 13/06/2016 20:43

9027 so far. I usually hit about 12000 on work days but it was raining when I left the office so I took the bus to the station rather than walk as usual.

Kornerkutta · 13/06/2016 20:41
  1. That's usual for my day off work when I go for a half hour run and do the weekly lap round the supermarket. Much lower count on my days at work
gamerchick · 13/06/2016 20:38

But that is fairly active frazzled over that is just gravy.

Frazzled2207 · 13/06/2016 20:35

Feel crap now I only get 10k 4/5 times a week and I consider myself fairly active!

gamerchick · 13/06/2016 20:32

Got to be done man Grin

HeffalumpHistory · 13/06/2016 20:32

I'm up for 20,000 tomorrow!!
Smile good motivation, thanks op!! Wink

PseudoBadger · 13/06/2016 20:30

That's what I do too Gamerchick - get a good lead!!

JasperDamerel · 13/06/2016 20:27

12,868, but I forgot to put it on until after the school run, so it's probably clare to 15,000 in reality. I have PMS and achy joints today so I'm having an early night instead of a walk, especially as I overdid it a bit last week and my Achilles' tendons complained.
