Back at my desk job today, so I'm going to try to remember to walk up and down the three flights of stairs a few times today. </p> <p>I ended up buying a FitBit Zip from Target (and price matched to Amazon). I read a tip online that if I put it in a water balloon and tie the end, it will essentially be waterproof so I can use it in the pool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-million-step-challege-summer-2014#post-1654549 Fri, 23 May 2014 09:13:32 +0000 cmomma17 1654549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: my health insurance offers free pedometers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-million-step-challege-summer-2014#post-1654546 Fri, 23 May 2014 09:13:02 +0000 cmomma17 1654546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: I'm up for it!<br /> I have my fit bit but have REALLY been slacking lately! Barely 2000 steps a day most days. And as a result I feel blah too :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-million-step-challege-summer-2014#post-1654536 Fri, 23 May 2014 09:11:13 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1654536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: You can download one for free on your phone! I have one, the only problem is I don't always carry it with me. But if you always keep it in your pocket, it could work. </p> <p>I'm sure there are some cheaper/good ones out there. I'll share what I find. I'm researching them now on Amazon so I can get on on Monday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-million-step-challege-summer-2014#post-1654523 Fri, 23 May 2014 09:08:32 +0000 Mamaof2 1654523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would but I don't have a pedometer! Are there any cheap but good ones out there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-million-step-challege-summer-2014#post-1654515 Fri, 23 May 2014 09:06:20 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1654515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone up for a challenge? </p> <p>A good rule of thumb to stay active and fit is to take 10,000 steps a day. There are 99 days of "summer" this year (Memorial Day to Labor Day), so the idea is simple: Try to take 10,101 steps a day and get to 1,000,000 steps by Labor Day.</p> <p>I work at a desk job and really want to up my fitness so I'm going to try this challenge. Anyone want to do it with me? I figured we could use this thread to keep track and encourage each other. What do you think? </p>
