These Shoes Were Made for Walking....??
We've all heard that the recommended number of steps is 10,000 steps daily, right? This summer, I was given a pedometer from work and was all excited to see how many steps I walked. After wearing it for a couple of days, I got discouraged on how few steps I took a day, and the pedometer has been sitting on my dresser collecting dust ever since. Yesterday, a co-worker commented about how often I walk up and down the stairs at work; which got me curious to count my steps again. I decided to dust off the good ol' pedometer today and give it a go again...
...and as you can see, this pedometer is clearly telling me that I am lazy! 2,438 steps....the pedometer has got to be wrong, right?! I must have walked more than 2,438 steps throughout the day. I've only reached 24% of the recommended steps for the day. Wow! You would think that the Wellness Coordinator at a Recreation Center would get a little more physical activity during her day. However, I have found that I workout less now that I have this job and am at a fitness center all day than I did before this job. Something has GOT to change!! The big question now is do I wear the pedometer again tomorrow and see how I do or just put it back on my dresser to collect dust?
