My Family Thinks I'm Crazy

[RunningMom68]

I looked at my FitBit One tonight as I was sitting on the couch watching a movie and realized I was only 2000 away from 20,000 steps. So..... I just started walking around the house in circles, around the couch, down the hall, all over. Nailed it!!!!! 😀👍

Looks like you're on your way to become a Fitbit addict . See:

I think that is great I did the same to get my 10000 steps the 1st time and now usually make it easily...

Keep it up you are not crazy, is good to get extra walking in around the house all the best

Congratulations! I have done similar things. I have still to reach 20,000 steps a day, though, but I'm getting closer. I've had my Flex for about three weeks now. Yesterday Last night I had 59 active minutes and couldn't stand to not have a full hour so I ran in place for a couple minutes. Ha!

I didn't realize how sedentary I was before getting my Fitbit. It takes a lot more than I thought to reach 10,000 steps each day. I've been making it, but not without getting on the treadmill each day... which I bought a couple weeks ago off Craig's List. I have never been a runner, and didn't think I ever could be... but finally ran 5 continuous miles on a treadmill for the first time in my 47 years of existence on this earth. I can't tell you how much of an accomplishment that is for me.

Even though I ran 5 miles that day I still only reached 15,000 steps. Geesh! I'm gonna try for 20K this weekend. We'll see...

hahahahhaa!!!! That happened to me the other night... There was only 6 minutes left to win 1st place, and i had just walked in from walking my dog...but went back out for a run around the community for the remaining 6 minutes lol!!

I do the same thing! I have an air stepper in my bedroom and I will do that at night while watching tv in order to get the steps I need.

[PaleoCrossfit]

You and me both. I have walked in place many times just to hit my goal lol

[cheznan1]

Hey Dominique
Hope I spelt the name right. I go on the treadmill at least once a day and sometimes twice during my gym workouts... I go twice Monday Wednesday and Friday and only once on the other days except Sunday that is my rest day for the week,all the best...Cheryl

[cheznan1]

That air stepper is a great idea... I just walk out on verandah when not raining... Might try and get an air stepper as really a great idea thanks... All the best, Cheryl

[cheznan1]

I am glad you were able to make your' goal for the day... I try to get it most days but Sunday I never do as is my rest day...Cheryl

My roomate laughs ar me when I'm running around the kitchen island. She didn't believe me when I told her. I wasn't lying. Couple hundred steps in a few minutes, yes please. 

[cheznan1]

Glad you have worked out a way to get your last few hundred steps when indoors... Does look funny but well worth it LOL

My mom was walking around the house in circles and walking in place during commercial breaks. The dog was so confused.

[alex45674]

I do that too!  Walk on the spot watching TV or up and down the stairs!  Not crazy, but wise.

[LindaT68]

I walk around my living room, dining room and kitchen to finish up my day. There is just something about getting those steps in!!!
