I'm also going twice per week to the gym, so when I saw your blog walk thing I thought I'd love to join too. What do I have to do? Just let you know that I'm in?

My sweet mother dearest got me a pedometer, and I am wearing it at work, although it has already reset itself 3 or 4 times until I figured out that under scubs is not a place for a pedometer. It has since been moved to my leg pocket (from my waist) so I get to add a half mile! Thank you for the motivation and incentive!

For some strange reason, I quit wearing my pedometer about three months ago.<BR/><BR/>IslandSparrow, it's really hard to get an accurate count with some pedometers while doing housework. Some don't actually begin to record steps until you've logged 10 (or more) consecutive, non-stop steps. Just take a big lap around the room before you dust that next piece of furniture! Remember, with housework, you're still getting a bit of an aerobic workout!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36134113.post-73144319949894513722008-01-14T09:16:00.000-08:002008-01-14T09:16:00.000-08:00I just got back from my 50 min walk.

I will use that formula to figure out my steps without a pedometer. I know from experience I walk 3 miles in one hour. So I'm joining in the walking club using this formula instead of a pedometer. Is that OK?<BR/>:)ellen b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14531430948905935301noreply@blogger.com
