May - 10k a day Club

[10kstepsaday]

Hello Again Everyone 🤩

Welcome to the May thread for recording your daily steps!
Everyone welcome, whatever your goal is and however you track it 😃

I feel May is going to be a trickier month for me, as I am on holiday for 2 weeks (and plan on spending most of it horizontal in the sun 🤣) however I will still be aiming for 10k where I can and joining in with the accountability.

This thread previously has been so motivational and encouraging so I just know May is going to be another awesome month for everyone, with lots of lovely sunny walks incoming!! ☀️

Well done to everyone for reaching their various targets and getting out there.

11k steps for me today, hope to get some higher numbers over the weekend.

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend so far, missed my step goal by miles yesterday, only managed 6k but this morning my son had activities & during them instead of sitting with the other mums drinking coffee I got my steps in doing laps of the premises & hit 10 by lunchtime. Rewarding myself with a sit down in the sunshine.

Well done everyone- sorry not to have posted, I got a bit lost somewhere thinking I was posting on this thread but posting in April 😂

I have averaged over 11,000 this week and already hit that today! This months steps are higher than last month, but I have work to do to get higher than last years average.

I'm doing a 10k a day challenge for May but only just found this thread!

I did 16K yesterday

I've done 10K every day except one day last weekend.

I've done less than 3K today so need to do something! I'm not going out so may need to march around my house...

Re calorie, burn I saw yesterday that 10000 steps is only 300 calories 😭. According to Cronometer, 10 minute light walking is 32 calories but moderate effort is 61 - so almost double. I think there is something in that as if you are light and quick you won’t burn as many as someone heavier working a bit harder but covering fewer steps??

Good luck @Chocolattcoffeecup or uou could do a walking video on YouTube maybe?

I didn't know there was such a thing! I'll have a look. I sometimes just put music on a dance around my house like a loon 😂

I didn't wear my watch today as it has run out of battery and I haven't been very organized!!
I did however go for a lovely 30 min walk by the beach ☀️

Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend!!

I've been quite lazy today and only just made it to 10k.
@10kstepsaday how lovely to go for a beach walk, wish I lived closer to the coast.

Did a few small walks around the living room to hit 10k today - Yaay!!

Forgot to add pic!

Also keep forgetting to put on a weighted vest 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Hope everyone has had a good weekend. Lots of steps for me today, and around 17k yesterday too.

Now sitting in bed waiting for my husband to make dinner 😁

This thread is definitely encouraging me to take extra steps! Took a long cut through a park and have my steps are now over 12500 so far today.

Only managed 8,832 steps today plus a 1hr exercise class this morning. My watch refuses to count that as exercise?!! 😄

Yesterday I did the walking video (thank you @Clearingaspace) and then some and got to about 9500, thought I'd do another 500 before bed but forgot, so didn't meet my 10k target

today done 18,738 so far

Joining in, I’ve only just found this thread but I’m on a slow recovery from an injury so have only just built up to comfortably doing 10k, What are you using to track steps (other than what’s on iPhone in health which I don’t want to rely on), but I like the style you’re using@Yesreallyitsme?

@StillCreatingANamei have a Garmin watch and the screenshot is from the Garmin app 🙂

16.5k steps today thankfully, after a not so great 7.5k yesterday. So altogether not too bad for the weekend.

Forgot to post last night but did 10k yesterday, about 3000 walking pad steps helped yesterday!

aiming for 10k a day this week - last week was about me trying to get out and walk consistently daily which had taken a lot of effort but worth it!

I’ve saved a Spotify playlist for walking at 120bpm - thanks to whoever posted that! Now just need to remember to do it!

Have a great week all!

@StillCreatingAName. welcome!! my watch is just from Amazon, think it was £50 ish. I only wanted something to count steps, not worried about the sleep tracking or any other functions really! It's very good though, battery lasts a couple of weeks, easy to setup etc. theres lots on Amazon that look similar!

Well done everyone, all doing fabulously!

My watch is just charging...... Then after school run I am planning on going for a 5K walk.

Im on Garmin too

I'm at 11.8K today after my morning walk 😊
Listened to a podcast about mobility, was very interesting and inspired me - when I got home I did a 40 min mobility stretch. Need to do that more for sure.

Also baked some oat, maple syrup and almond butter cookies today 😋

I am currently on 9600 so likely will be at 10000 by tonight, i went for a walk after work with dh to get steps up. It was a lovely sunny evening but i got annoyed by some cheeky children which made me feel very old and grumpy 😂

My average steps for the last 7 days is 12000, which I am very happy with but will be hard to get much higher I think.

Hi everyone, hope it’s ok to jump in 😁
have been trying really hard to get 10,000 steps in recently.
admittedly a lot are on the walking pad, also trying to walk after breakfast and dinner (if possible - but again only on the walking pad). I would do lunch too, but that’s currently impossible.

Managed 12k steps today, so that was nice 😊
