As I got to work this morning at Deerwood Country Club Fitness Center and one of my spinning students was asking about this new program starting Monday, where members can buy a pedometer ($30) and calculate their steps and win prizes for the most steps. A coworker told me the program/pedometer was free for employees, but the girl at the front desk didnt know that so she wouldn't give me one before teaching. (She called me later and said she had a pedometer for me) I was bummed because I couldn't use it for class, but two of my students had theirs and one got 6,000 steps and the other 7,000 aprx. ( for 45 minutes???.... Amazing!!)
I've worn the pedometer this afternoon (I got a massage...no steps there lol, in Pilates barely any steps (Less then 300) I'm curious to see what it will say for yoga.
Basically by the end of today (6 hours) I had close to 9,000 (goal is 10,000) but that's not including spinning and yoga this morning.
My frustrations:
Tried the pedometer on my spin bike at home placed on the bottom edge of my shirt (where one of my students in class put it), but it was being finicky, and not counting revolutions, I kept trying to move it, shake it, and it wouldn't last working. Going to act my director where exactly to put the pedometer. Seems easy but not really.
Strategies:
Park car far away and walk
Stand on in place, walk in place
10,000 steps=5 miles aprx.
Monday & 3.2 outside walk/ run (depending on weather
Treadmill at home
Wii fit steps, running
Right now the bike isn't counting for miles consistently
What's your tips to get more steps?
