Walking my way to Good Health

The Company that supplies me with my pay check has also supplied me (and any other employee who wants one) with a pedometer. 

They have asked that we keep track of our steps for 6 weeks, which I have done.

It was interesting to me.  I have always considered myself as moderately active because I sit behind a computer all day at work, but after 6 weeks, I find that I am, and always have been, in the very active category.

It’s nice to know I’m doing something right

2500 steps - very inactive
3700 steps - inactive
5000 steps - moderately active
7500 steps - active
10000 steps - very active

And I have walked over 1000 steps per day for 6 weeks (except 1 day, when I was at an all-day meeting.  I only made it to 9000) My biggest day was over 13000 steps.  YES!
