    Pretty quiet day here, but went for a swim after lunch and about to going dancing this evening so will probably not make 10k.., but close.

    Oh yeah. The 18 steps could be to move to the floor after a bed wetting event.

    Day finished up with 21,623 steps and 224minutes active time and 1973 calories burned during active hours. Didn't swim today but did put in a 5.6km bike ride to coffee shop and back.

    ^^ How quaint.

    People still walk up to the paper shop to get the paper?

    I hope you brought the milk in as well?

    Edit. Pogoing. You stand erect and jump up and down in time to the Sex Pistols while trying to kick the fukk out of the idiots doing the same from the next village.

    Is there no culture in Birmingham?

    Have you seen the price of Theme park tickets nowadays?(20 times the price of walking on a pier) or the size of Kyle Walker's nob on page 3?

    You can still have milk delivered. The Krauts have taken over that here too. I don't really see the point though when I have to go the shop anyway

    Not just in walking but all things in life.



    The pity is you had a good thread going.

    ^ It's Wurzels with a 'U'.

    Cyrille does the same. What's wrong with you Brommies?

    Actually, I had my steps set to 5000, it's the number I must achieve no matter what per day. It can be difficult sometimes, working overtime, and raining or snowing outside.

    That said, I'm on 211,286 (18/18) steps for March which means Spring is in the air!

    Personally, I don't agree with this philosophy, nothing against you or others that have mentioned it.

    I prefer a goal where I have to do more when I failed to meet the target one day and I can do less if I I have done extra on a certain day. It more closely matches my work life where there is no one else to take over if goals are not met. If it rains on a particular day and I fail to meet my target then I have to do more the next day to keep the average. If the average is too high then reduce the goal but do so at a strategic, long term, level rather than a dynamic day-to-day one.

    Having said that, I really like the Garmin Epix2 Sapphire with full world map coverage and the ability to accurately geo position my nature photographs. Not only that, but I may get to find the best way out of the wood when the wife and I get lost, which has happened (to an extent) on many occasions. I may even get to find out just which camp site we eventually pitched our tent.

    Step obsession - where's the intensity?
    Shuffling along a supermarket aisle for 1000 'steps' is no meaningful cardiovascular load, it's just moving, no major increase in resting heart rate.
    The 10,000 passive steps is not the best indicator of exertion or of fitness gain.

    There's some truth to this. But getting around is a minimum requirement. If you are way below the average , you might be a lazy cvnt.

    Indeed 5000 jogging steps would be far more beneficial for your cardiovascular system.

    No offence taken.. and it isn't really a philosophy it is just how my Garmin and most Garmin's work. If my goal is higher, it means I've done a lot that day, and if I don't meet my step goal the next day it isn't the end of my world, as I go to the gym and am active. That is cool that you like the Garmin Epix2 (what year is that?). I also use the GPS when hiking to see where I've been and map my walks. My bestie has the Garmin Venu 2 which is a bit more advanced than mine. I think that one may also have the world map coverage.
