Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 , that is great that they gave you a pedometer. I have been using one since June '05 and have logged more than 1.5 MILLION steps since then.... it is so exciting. At my work, I belong to a health@work program and there is a website we can log our steps on and it shows a ticker going up the mountain. I am on my 7th mountain. When we walk enough steps to get to the top of a mountain, we get a certificate and a button. Kinda hokey, but I love it because it shows progress..... Amy, I used to love TaeBo, but it aggravates my back too much now. I have a couple of other videos, including 's Boot Camp, which I love.... 10 minutes of a video is 10 minutes, don't knock it for trying... just keep it up and building up every few days or so and soon you will be able to do the full workouts.... when I got my first video, I could only do maybe 1/2 the amount of the reps as the "actors".... Tammy, great job with your first pound down! Weigh to go girl!! Keep going!! ...some of the step conversions for different activities: burns an extra 100 calories: 60 minutes of mall shopping 45 minutes of weight training 35 minutes of housecleaning 30 minutes of gardening/weeding 20 minutes of moderate/easy walking For Gardening/Housekeeping/shopping - 15 minutes = 1000 steps or .50 miles (they say 2000 steps = 1 mile) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
