NeverThatBored Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 So, I'm curious. How do all of you titanium walkers fit walking into your days? Do you wake up early to walk? Just spend a lot of time in the evenings walking? Go on extra long walks on weekends?

bim Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 So, I'm curious. How do all of you titanium walkers fit walking into your days? Do you wake up early to walk? Just spend a lot of time in the evenings walking? Go on extra long walks on weekends?I park in a structure that's 1.5-2 miles away from my building at work, depending on the route I take, and I have a favorite lunch haunt that's another half mile round trip. If I have a conference call or get a phone call that will take a while, I put it on Bluetooth and walk around the block while I'm on it. I walk to the grocery store if what I need is not heavy or perishable. And if all else fails, I walk for up to an hour or so in my neighborhood after dinner. We have a treadmill too, which is my last resort when it's too hot, stormy, or sketchy outside. 1 Quote balance in mind ... body in motion ... making inertia my bitch Lv.2 warmonkey | 2 STR, 3 STA, 3 DEX, 5 CON, 4 WIS, 2 CHA Challenges: Current | Previous Link to comment
AthenaMM Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I walk my dog in the mornings, then I'm on my feet for about 3 or 4 hours and I do some walking in the afternoon for a workout unless it's a strength training day. I shoot for 12,000 steps a day (except Sunday), so if I haven't gotten there yet I'll do some more walking in the evening, even if it's just pacing around the livingroom while I watch tv. And congratulations bim! I had been toying with a stretch goal but I wasn't sure how far to make it. I may just steal yours! 1 Quote Battle Log Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Fitbit, Epic Quest Character Link to comment
bim Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks AthenaMM! At the rate you're going, I bet you might crack 200 miles.I have to fess up to making laps around the kitchen island between 11:45 and midnight on several occasions too. Fitbit numbers are highly motivating. And NeverThatBored, that's another factor to consider. Those of us who use pedometers aren't just counting our purposeful walks; we're also counting all our trips to the fridge, the bathroom, and so on. That's why Endor told pedometer users to aim high. 1 Quote balance in mind ... body in motion ... making inertia my bitch Lv.2 warmonkey | 2 STR, 3 STA, 3 DEX, 5 CON, 4 WIS, 2 CHA Challenges: Current | Previous Link to comment

EveningEmma Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I can't believe I made titanium so quickly (or at all)! I have changed the bus I take into work so it takes me a little longer to walk to and from it every day, and have been making more of an effort to walk instead of taking a bus. I have also done laps of the flat a few times to get my 10,000 steps in! 3 Quote Level 1 AdventurerFirst Challenge: EveningEmma starts outCrafting Blog: EveningEmma Link to comment

bim Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 This team is awesome! Sorry to say my numbers have been way down recently - I messed up my lower back last weekend, and not only am I not walking as much, but my fitbit doesn't register most of the steps in my mincing stride! It's been getting better with rest and ice packs, so I'm hoping to finish strong and log 10-12 more miles.Go team! 2 Quote balance in mind ... body in motion ... making inertia my bitch Lv.2 warmonkey | 2 STR, 3 STA, 3 DEX, 5 CON, 4 WIS, 2 CHA Challenges: Current | Previous Link to comment

Matsurika Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Alright! Great job everyone! I think I'll be more actively talking in my next challenge (Already excited!) I believe I'm going to get a fitbit or something along those lines just to see the difference! Strava never counts my 12 hour wedding photography days so I'm super excited to see how much I actually walk on those days! I aimed for the moon and fell along with the stars - Shooting for Platinum next time again! I know that this challenge got me walking way more! I mean WAY more than I would have normally walked - So THANK YOU! Not to mention Great job (yes again) - we all deserve it!
