10,000 Step Challenge

An afternoon of shopping/ 3,844 steps
Have you ever wanted a workout SHORTCUT? Well, now you have one. The best part of this workout is that you get to do your daily routine and use a "pedometer" to track your steps. It's easy, and if you haven't gotten your 10,000 in just by doing daily activity today then add in a little extra walk, run, jog, jump rope, or trampoline.




Walking 10,000 steps is the approximate equivalent of walking 5 miles. The distance covered depends on the length of your stride. That is why it is approximate.


START:
Put on your PEDOMETER when you get up in the morning and wear it until bed time.


RECORD:
Record your steps in a log or notebook. You might be surprised how many or how few steps you took today.


HOW TO WEAR A PEDOMETER:
If you are wearing a dress the best place to attach the pedometer to a firm waistband or to a decorative belt on the outside of your dress. The pedometer should be clipped to the firmly and securely so it won't move around. Place the pedometer in a location above the hip so that it can detect the leg movement.
