Only 4538 steps yesterday.  I was doing quite good in the morning and then the wind kicked up and allergies really put me down.  Much better this morning.

Forgot to post yesterday...

13,010 steps yesterday. 12,722 steps the day before.

I did my 2 km walk/run on the treadmill with about 60% running. Increased the speed to 8.5 km.

Rocky- you did do better. I was at 27 floors.

Finally.
And I did 27 floors yesterday. Now, the weekend days are off days.

You young sprouts whose legs actually work!     
It's all I can do to get up one flight of stairs to go to bed at night!

I don't have stairs in my house, but it makes me "tired" just reading about these young-uns going up
so many steps every day.

Well, at 75 I don't qualify as a young sprout and I really do not do stairs well either.  For one thing there just are not any stairs around here.  I can do them if there is a hand rail and I think it may help me build leg muscle but I don't know where to go.
Then again maybe it is a good thing there are no stairs around !   
One thing I am sure of is that the number of stairs I could do would be way lower than Rocky or CCD but then that is as it should be.

[Shanny]

Yep - same here. I need the handrail & brace myself against the wall too.

13,254 steps yesterday.

I don't do stairs well either. The knees just don't like them.

Not that young, really. Comparatively maybe.

To be very honest those floors are done during the entire day, maybe 4-5 at a time. Don't know about ccd.

Today, is rest day

8107 steps yesterday.  I have decided to concentrate on how many steps I get each hour rather than the daily total.  It started with Fitbit and  prompt to get at least 250 steps each hour.  I then saw that Stepz kept track of your hourly steps and set the goal at 300.  Yesterday I wanted to get at least 500 steps each hour and was able to do that for the 10 hours from 8 AM to 5 PM.  Of course 500 steps for 10 hours would only be 5K steps so I made more on some hours but only made 1000 on one hour.  But I keep moving throughout the day and that is supposed to be a good thing.

Not really a lot to brag about here as far as steps go, but yesterday I got 3,111 steps which is more than usual for me.

13,426 steps yesterday.

I like that hourly screen in Stepz too Wally. I think it has helped me get my steps up.

That's a great score Kathy. Logging your daily count here will help keep track of your activity and some days you'll really surprise yourself.

8046 steps yesterday.  Once again I was able to manage at least 500 steps each hour for the 10 hours from 8 AM to 5 PM.  Best hour was 1188 steps and lowest was 525 steps so I am managing to make that work so far.  Not quite able to manage 1000 steps each hour but maybe some day.
