1, 2 ,3, 100, 1000, .. 10,000 steps per day???
October 20th, 2008 | by jys |Have you heard about the 10k steps per day? Recently I’ve been reading a lot about this 10K steps thing. According to the article, we need or should walk 10K steps per day. It makes me wonder, how many steps I walked per day?
Frankly speaking, I hardly walk. You see, I drive to work, car park is very near my office, only need to walk a few steps. Then in office, besides going out for lunch, which is near also, basically I sit for the whole day. 10K steps per day? I don’t even think I walked 2K steps per day!!
In order to calculate how many steps I walk every day and also to motivate myself to walk more, I decided to get a pedometer, the step counter to count my steps. I got this from a shop that sells sports equipment at Giant.
Pedometer, RM 29.90
see, cute right?
Maximum 99999, I doubt I can reached that count also lar..
Very small only..
little clip at the back
Tomorrow will be the first day I count my steps. Wanna guess how many steps I walk per day? 2K? 3K? I think I’m pretty sure that I didn’t walk more than 5K, let’s see..

how does it work?
Jys:
well, u clip the pedometer on ur belt or pants, then when u walk, the pedometer will start counting for u. It’s not 100% accurate lar.. cos when u shake the pedometer, the count will increase too..

You should watch up yourself rather than depending on machine to count~ Go exercise, should be a good solution~
Jys:
haha, that is why i bought this pedometer lar, to motivate myself to walk more!!

I see …
Hmm … I tend to walk alot these days because I chose to not use the elevators when possible.
Though walking up 7 floors to get to the office is something I can only do every alternate day, it helps keep the kardio vascular module running.
Need to do my med check soon as well, its that time of the year to donate to the needy doctor at Uptown …

ya, me too trying to avoid the lift and take the stairs but still even taking the stairs i also walk very little steps per day..
