I don't think anybody is ever going to click on a link again! Too much fear, too much distrust. To answer everyone, yes - I walked. It was wicked early (6:15) and I was a little late to work because my neighbor's garbage can got knocked over in the night and I picked up her garbage. That's right - good Samaritan AND healthy walker. You’re joking, right? I don’t think anybody is ever going to click on a link again! Too much fear, too much distrust.

Just saying the word "athletic" counts, silly. Oh, and don't downplay strong writst, either. Great prevention for carpal tunnel syndrome! Of course it counts!

I think you mark out a certain length path, start walking before the start line and keep walking after the end line and then divide by the number of strides. I never did it, but I found it very stimulating to wear the pedometer just for the number of steps.

Does that count at all since the word "athletic" was involved? BTW - my wrists are in excellent shape from all the grading I do.

Then aim for 10,000 steps per day. That will help you stay motivated for your walk to work. Good luck. Get a pedometer, just a simple one, and don’t worry about measuring your stride.
