Walking for Wellness and Healthy Habits

Hi @Dimity @Oaktree @Appleblossom @Adge ,

I used to have little competitions with my work colleagues using pedometers, but now, Apple Watches reign. We have our competitions on our watches instead and aim to get as many badges as we can, in particular the limited edition badges. We also monitor how many kms and steps each person has done. I think I rely on my watch a bit too much...but it works! It keeps exercise always in view.

That sounds great @BPDSurvivor . Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi @Dimity

I use a free app on my iPhone called Pacer

It is not quite as accurate as other paid pedometer apps but it is not that bad. I am sad to say that I haven't walked daily since the 13th July but I intend to start over and try again. The weather is horrible here at the moment though. Good on you guys for all your continued efforts and I am glad that you posted here.

busy too @Oaktree

mum had her arms redressed today

cleaned the house this morning

I had 2 walks on Sunday. One with my son and one with a friend. About 2 1/2 hours all up. Good to have company on the walks. Have done many alone. Not into counting or competing re walks. Do not want that Apple to rein. They got enuff dosh. Each to their own.

Cheers Apple

@Appleblossom ,

Unfortunately, Apple are excellent marketers, and ppl like me get sucked in!

I always said I wouldn't fall for it, but unfortunately, my job demands it because everything is connect via these devices....

Otherwise, the simpler the better 🙂

So yes, @Appleblossom , I DO agree with you.

@Dimity reminded me of this thread so I am posting here to dust it off. Will have to start using it again to keep myself accountable.

I plan my first walk on Wednesday as I am busy babysitting today so can’t go walking. Tomorrow will have to do. My goal is to do a short walk every day. It doesn’t have to be long or intense, i just have to get into the habit of moving every day!
