27th: 2573 steps 28th: I'm probably going to not make my step count the next few days because I have COVID. Not a failure just self care!

26th: 2161 steps 27th: 1 set workout, 10 assisted squats, 10 wall push ups, 10s plank, 20 leg raises, 30s bridge.

Thank you for your support! Yeah that's the goal, use my sticks for defending people instead of just walking 😂 honestly I've been housebound on a good day, bedbound on a bad for years so it's super easy to stay positive now I actually have a bit of health! I can leave the house and make myself food and do tiny workouts, my life is awesome 😁

I caught the tail end of the last one but this is technically my second challenge since I've become disabled 4.5 years ago. Keeping it the same as the last challenge-if I push it too far I'll end up making myself ill. So: 1. Workout at least twice a week. Just doing the warm up and cool down counts, what's important is consistently working at reversing the muscle atrophy. 2. At least 1000 steps a day, even when I've had a big day the day before and I'm exhausted. Should be easier now, my new walking sticks are steadier/more solid. 3. Leave the village at least once a week for something that isn't an appointment. Started this challenge off with a bang-it was Pride this weekend and I went to a last minute dinner with my brother last night, so I'm a bit exhausted today, but proud of myself for making it through even if I did push myself too far and have a seizure in a restaurant 😂 don't worry I'm fine, it's normal, but I did freak out a waitress! 23rd: 4927 steps and Pride 24th: 3514 steps and dinner 25th: 1164 steps and just the warmup and cooldown.

Finishing this off before starting my new challenge. I've been sticking to it, just kept forgetting to post. 20th: 1694 steps 21st: 2020 steps 22nd: 1149 steps

I caught the tail end of the old challenge actually, I didn't realise the new one had started. I'll make a new challenge post, thanks, probably just keep the same goals though

Thank you!

To be perfectly honest my stomach is a lot bigger now than before my disability, so I kind of had to swap to a full plank 😂 couldn't really do a knee plank with proper form because my stomach kept touching the floor 😂 but thank you for the encouragement!

It won't unfortunately no. I might have to do some searching for a traditional one tomorrow-I was hoping one of the hundreds of free pedometer/fitness apps in the store would be what I needed, but I think I've checked them all now! Worth buying a GPS pedometer to get an accurate measurement and not have to look at all that weight/calorie BS I was worried I would forget to use one but I can always just fix it to my walking stick.

Thank you! I downloaded it and checked it out and it does have a calorie count on it though, so I don't think it will work for me.

Hi, thank you for the help but it also counts calories and there isn't an option (on my phone at least) to turn it off.

Hi thank you for the reply, but sorry I'm looking for distance, like miles/km, not steps. Thanks though!

Hi, I'm looking for an android app that will track distance walked, not just steps, and doesn't require/give any information regarding body weight or calories consumed/burned. I'm wanting to improve my health and that stuff isn't conducive to good mental health for me! I've looked but I can't find any that fit the criteria that don't use other apps that ask that info (like Google fit). Thank you in advance for your help ❤

19th: 2176 steps 20th: no idea yet BUT I managed 3 sets today and in the last 2 sets I did a full plank for 10s instead of a knee plank. Plus I've done a bunch of adulting-I have new glasses, good quality walking sticks, and boots that actually fit now!

17th: 2881 steps and saw my best friend for the first time in years! 18th: 1227 steps Warm up and cooldown + 2 reps of: 10 assisted squats, 5 wall push ups, 20s knee push ups, 10 leg raises, 30s bridge Moving backwards to assisted squats so I can go deep and get the full range of motion.
