I've done 18,000 not sure if that's good or what. I have made a more conscious effort to move more though and I feel lovely and tired now so I'm ready for my bed 🛌 lol

How many do you normally do ?
What's the most you've ever done?

27000, I did go for a long run though! I always try and do at least 10000 though, I feel a bit lazy if I do less!

withacherryonthetop · 13/05/2022 22:06

20k- this is a good day! I aim for over 10k and usually do around 12k. I did 2 dog walks and a little run at the gym tho today because it was my day off

On a really sedentary day (desk job working from home with no lunch break) I find I can do as few as 3500. On a really active day, say on holiday with lovely walks etc I’ve done over 30,000. On an average run of the mill day in my life I do about 12,000.

RenegadeKeeblerElf · 13/05/2022 22:10

About 12,000 plus a half hour swim and a gym class. Normally a longer swim on Fridays but I didn't have time so made up for it by walking to the supermarket rather than driving.

XenoBitch · 13/05/2022 22:10

Less than 2k, but I have cycled today.

SallyWD · 13/05/2022 22:12

16,852. You've done well. I aim for 10,000 a day.

21,000 today. That included a 10k run.

It varies between 6k and 22k usually. The low days are days when I am at work (desk based role - worse when wfh) and the high ones are my days off when I'm running round doing errands all day.

Fere · 13/05/2022 22:15

How many do you normally do? - at least 11k, that is what I aim for daily
What's the most you've ever done? 72K - it was the Moonwalk marathon, the worst bit was that it was done overnight. I was mostly exhausted with lack of sleep, although London is great to walk at night.

bluesky45 · 13/05/2022 22:25

I do between 5k and 8k if I don't specifically go out for a walk or a run. I aim for at least 10k a day. Today I have done 1353 steps. I have covid and have spent most of the day in bed.

SoManyTshirts · 13/05/2022 22:30

9896 , tempted to walk up and down stairs a few times before midnight ….most ever around 40,000.

EileenGC · 13/05/2022 22:33

7000, pretty average for me. I'd love to do more but I live in a tiny studio flat so I don't get to walk 'around the house', job is not active and I commute via public transport. I aim for 10,000 usually, sometimes it happens, most of the time not.

megletthesecond · 13/05/2022 22:35

19,000.

My target is 15,000 and I reach that 90% of the time.

maddiemookins16mum · 13/05/2022 22:36

6785 (and only because I went into the office). One day this week I did 3..7 😕😩

Mumof3girlsandaboy · 13/05/2022 22:36

16,488 precisely!

Rookiemistake · 13/05/2022 22:38

20000 today but I have been coaching sport all afternoon evening. On weekdays it's around 10 000 but days when I wfh/weekends it's about 15k.

shiningstar2 · 13/05/2022 22:39

7058 I would be quite happy with that if I did it every day. I could with a bit more effort but now I'm retired I'm a bit lazy.

LookdeepintotheParka · 13/05/2022 22:40

Just over my target of 7500 today. I do a lot more steps at weekends but have a desk job and do lots of commuting and driving kids around to clubs etc in the week.

MirandaWest · 13/05/2022 22:41

I’ve done 23,000 today. My overall average is around 18,000 a day so today was a good day 😊

BoneyEmm · 13/05/2022 22:42

Bloody hell, these numbers are making me feel very inadequate :-)

I worked 10hrs (not a desk job) and then went for an hour's walk this evening, I've not even hit 9k steps, I think my pedometer app is broken

MirandaWest · 13/05/2022 22:42

Most ever was about 44,000 but I ran my first (and probably last!) half marathon that day
