  • Wow, we are cranking! And Harkeyvalley, yes of course WalMart walking counts! There were days here when it was so hot I went to Fred Meyer and walked all around the store and up and down the frozen food aisles.

    Tee hee, I grew up way back in the sticks of Missouri so I know ALL about that horrible dust on those country roads. Yikes... for SURE you can't walk there!!!

    I am pretty bummed at the moment LOL... I GAINED back three pounds! I just can't lose. But I got in 74 minutes of aerobic walking

    Personal total = 593
    1500 goal - 593 = 907 still to go

    Group total 5218 + 74 = 5292
  • 5292 plus today's 60 minutes at the gym = group total of 5352

    My personal total is 270 / 1000
  • Tonight I did 25 minutes on the elliptical and spent 40 working with my trainer. That brings my total to 360.

    The group total is 5,352 + 65 = 5,417
  • tonight i did 3 mile WATP (45 min.) and 12 min. abs, stretching and push ups.

  • harkey valley -- For me personally, walking in Walmart or a mall could count, but I really only if I am doing it continuously. I don't count any of the shopping I do, because there's too much stop and start...

    Misti In Seattle (and I think Ammi) and I have the same pedometer, and it counts "aerobic" steps. Steps at a certain pace that last for at least 10 min. I generally record my minutes based on what it says! That way I don't count meandering time.

    You are free to count what you want!

    Nightkatt -- just count it! Don't worry about how little it seems like!


    I got in 22 more min at the gym weightlifting tonight!

    Group total ~ 5648 + 22 = 5670 minutes!
  • 500 mins for me so far this month
    5670+500=6170

    Yes, I only count aerobic steps too... but during the super hot weather here I intentionally went to a big store and walked all around the edges of it inside and also at times up and down the frozen food/cooler aisles. So it CAN be continuous walking in a store or mall if you plan it that way.
