I'm going a little crazy here with this snow because I'm a walker and love to either go outside and walk or go to the gym. Because of the snow I can't go out and do either, at least not on a regular basis.
I've been walking a path through my house. I have a good pedometer that I paid a little (ok a LOT) more for to get an accurate reading and keep track of aerobic steps. My problem is, even though I feel like I'm putting a good effort forth to keep on track with exercising, it just doesn't seem like I'm working it enough. Outside I can tackle hills and at the gym I can set an incline. In the house I'm on a level surface and just running around in circles. I've been careful to make sure I'm hitting an aerobic workout and averaging about 30-40 min each day.
Anyone have any tips? I'm thinking maybe I need to focus a little less on getting in 10,000+ steps a day and logging aerobic steps and maybe focus more on other types of exercise to give my body and workout a little boost. Part of me feels like I'm letting myself down though if I'd go under 10,000. Oh, and just to clarify those steps are not ALL aerobic, they are just the total I shoot for each day, and my aerobic usually averages about 4000 steps. It's definitely less than what I was able to do during the summer and it's kind of bumming me out.
TIA!
