Walk This Way!
YOUR DAILY FIT TIP

One of the hottest trends for healthier living are pedometers, tools that track every step you take, helping you to put a tangible face on weight loss. Health nuts are no strangers to pedometers – especially those looking to set reachable goals and lose the weight once and for all.
Aim to walk at least 10,000 steps a day, which is equivalent to nearly five miles. Sedentary people generally walk only 1,000-3,000 steps a day. Studies show that people who wear a pedometer and keep a log of their steps tend to get more steps in, even if they're not setting aside structured time to exercise. As a result they burn more calories and tend to lose weight.
So get a pedometer and get moving!

MY THOUGHTS
I don't know how many steps I walked today. I'm pretty sure it's more than 10k. Took me an hour and a half by the river bank. And this does not include another couple of hours malling. I just hope I can walk at least an hour each day while I'm on vacation.
