February 10k a day

[10kstepsaday]

As part of me trying to form healthier habits I am trying to consistently hit 10k (or more) steps per day for the whole of February (and hopefully beyond!). I average around 8000 steps and mostly work from home sat at a desk. It's not a huge challenge and I know this is probably not even a challenge for most but wanted somewhere to be accountable and post my daily efforts.

Feel free to join me 🤩

Well done for getting back on it @Doyouthinktheyknow and a 10+ mile walk tomorrow, wow!! That sounds ace!!

Well done too@SilenceInside🤩
I got to 10K today, no outdoor walk apart from 2 school runs but that is a v v short walk and then lots of marching around the house. I put the laundry away 1 item at a time 🤣 my DH asked wtf I was doing!

Not such a big day of steps today at less than 14000 but I’ll take it as I got some good winwalk bonus wins and am feeling happy.

Sorry screenshot didn't attach and as my chum always says - screenshot or it didn't happen.

Checking in with another 10.5 to 11k today, with some speed interval running on the treadmill this evening.

Well done @CleanandLight109 and @SilenceInside
Thank you for keeping joining in 😃
@Doyouthinktheyknow how was your big walk?

Today was the first day I was really like ugh, do I have to 🤣 I am feeling a bit poorly with cough and cold, and did 4 hrs driving today. Looked at my watch at 9pm and was at 7k and thought I don't wanna!! But I did it, so yay for that! 🥳

Thanks @10kstepsaday and well done to you and @SilenceInside too. The biggest triumphs are when you are not keen but do it anyway.
Just home from a lovely evening with lots of walking as we had dinner on the Southbank then walked to the Royal Opera House (and back).
I will probably do a few more steps but will screenshot now before I forget.
Goodnight all and happ walking tomorrow.

Do you mind if I join you all? I purchased a fitness watch at the beginning of February. It's taken a while to get used to it, but I think I understand it now. My step count so far has not been very impressive, averaging about 8,000 steps a day. So starting tomorrow I'm going to aim to get the 10,000 everyday. I walk my dog twice a day, but he's elderly and refuses to walk very far, so most of my steps will be a solo effort. When I go shopping tomorrow I am going to park in the furthest away parking spot. I'm sure I can find other little ways to up my steps.

Welcome @Joolly2 I'm not the OP but it's the more the merrier from my point of view.
It's a horrid day here so wondering if I will get to 10000 steps after some great days.

Absolutely, welcome along @Joolly2
Definitely agree the more the merrier 🤩
Parking further away is a good idea, it all adds up!!

@10kstepsaday, our walk was an exercise in endurance! It was so wet but I felt great for doing it and I clocked in at 24,546 steps for the day with our walk being 10.76 miles.

Likely to be another wet walk this afternoon and then it’ll be airport and cruise ship steps tomorrow and for the next 2 weeks😎

Also been to the gym this morning for a weights session.

It is so much harder to get the steps in with this awful weather.

Welcome @Joolly2

Ooh @Doyouthinktheyknow what an achievement.
I have also been cursing the miserable weather today as I dragged myself around the streets just to clock up 7000 steps as I will finish the rest off just living and hopefully a bunch more.
Very excited for you heading off on a cruise - post updates when you can and we can live vicariously through you.
Will post a screenshot before bed tonight.
Onwards we trudge to not let the thread down.

Another wet walk today, flat one and showers rather than constant rain so definitely better than yesterday.

15000 steps today and a weights session at the gym, pleased with that.

Will definitely keep you guys updated, hopefully from much sunnier places😎

Think my steps tomorrow will mostly be duty free shopping at stupid o clock😂

Well done everyone for getting the steps in despite this horrible weather👏

Just hit my goal for today 🙂

Wow well done, @Doyouthinktheyknow that's so awesome!! Yes please to cruise ship updates, send us the sunshine vibes! I have never been on a cruise ship!!

Almost 13K today, managed a couple of short outdoor walks and some more treadmill walking. Very impressed with getting the steps in whilst on a cruise, @Doyouthinktheyknow

Epic fail on the first day, so cross with myself. Dog looked out of the front door, then looked up at me, I'm sure he sighed before he walked back indoors. The rain was pouring down and has been all day. My final step count is only 8,396. I am so jealous of Doyouthinktheyknow I would love to see some sun, so fed up of all this rain. I will have to try harder tomorrow. I'm not sure how to add photos but will give it a try tomorrow.

End f day screenshot as promised. Finding this thread very motivational and getting lots of extra Winwalk bonuses too for my efforts. Tomorrow looks horrendous weather wise so will be a bit of a pain but I’ll brave it.

Well done @SilenceInside and @CleanandLight109 you are both smashing the 10k every day!!

Don't worry @Joolly2 the rain sure is getting everyone down I feel!! I have only done 6.5k at the moment. Once the kids are asleep I will be marching around the house like crazy before I can relax for the evening. You can do this 🤩

It's been horrendous here all day but I managed it. I've done 11,842. I don't think I would have done it without this thread. Thanks to everyone for the moral support. Just got to repeat it again and again. You all make it look so easy. I am hoping there is a photo attached.

I feel the same @Joolly2 this thread is all that is keeping me hitting it day in day out in this horrendous weather.
DH and I braved it between the showers. I will post a screenshot at the end of the day and it is so far from easy this month.

Well done @Joolly2🥳 11k is great!!
Same the thread keeps me motivated to hit the 10k goal. We are 1 week down already 😃 keep going!!

Definitely not in the mood for steps today, but forced myself to get on the treadmill and just squeaked over the 10k. I definitely could have sacked it off if it wasn’t for accountability on this thread. 🙏🏻

Ooo can I join you please? I WFH too and it drives me nuts not getting any steps in.
I went to the gym today and worked on arms & abs. Yesterday was leg day!

Downloading Winwalk! 🙌

Some days it's a struggle, I have definitely felt the same @SilenceInside
Well done for still getting it done though!

Welcome @TheActualQueen and well done for your gym workouts 🤩 great work!!

Final figures for the day. Hope tomorrow is a brighter day for us all.

Is this just your phone counting steps? Or is it also connected to a smart watch?
