Mine does not count gym time, T’ai Chi Chuh, floor exercises, or stationary bike! I may ask Santa for a new and better model because it really keeps me going.

Oh, that’s clever! Yes, I think this is definitely the direction that I’m heading. I will look into the Garmin, thanks!

My Garmin VivoActive is overly large, but it is 2 years old and the newer ones are more sleek. There are some good third-party apps for hiking, to track elevation gain and such, and I can also use it for my bike rides. My step goal is around 8,000 to 10,000 — its a moving target based on recent averages.

Oh CG – you never fail to make me LOL!

Indeed! That sounds like sound, practical advice that I can apply in my daily life. ; )

It’s not uncommon for me to make 6,000 plus steps without leaving the house, it’s a benefit to my consistent discombobulation, old brain memory issues and need for a tidy household.

My daily target is 10,000 but I managed to hit 85,000 steps over a 27-hour period this weekend without running a single mile during my volunteer stint as “Jackie O – Master of Shenanigans” at the Javelina Jundred. Maybe volunteering at ultramarathons is the ultimate way to get steps in without even thinking about it?
