my mineral water and my pedometer-- sorry it is sideways |
let's bring in the e-reader |
and the pedaler |
This is the most fun thing to do as far as I am concerned. I am limited by allergies as to how much outdoor exercise I can get in so I try to do what I can indoors. And see, I can read while I pedal and drink my mineral water and watch the cardinals out the back door! It is a win-win.
I put my pedometer in the photo as well because I count walking as exercise, even if it just back and forth to the washing machine. I like to know, at the end of the day, how much walking I have done.
I do have a Garmin Vivofit fitness tracker but it irritates the skin on my arm and it isn't waterproof so I find myself taking it off and putting it back on all the time. It is annoying. I like the pedometer just as well. My house is built in such a way that I can walk laps through it, each lap being 100 steps. It works well for me to walk like this -- haha -- the washer is on the circuit so I can do the laundry while I am walking.
So, for my pedaling today here are my stats --
Speed -- 14.5 mph
time -- 30 minutes
distance -- 6.9 miles
calories burned -- 168.5
I will edit this later with my daily total of steps. I can guarantee you it won't be the recommended 10,000 -- not even close -- but maybe I can challenge myself each day to do more.
Whatever I do, I need to get out of this chair and move around for sure. So, welcome to day 1 of my challenge.

Go, BB!
Hi, Pom Pom! Hopefully I can do it tomorrow because my knee is giving me problems today. Yay for old age and arthritis! I am NOT that old!
Good luck with your challenge! I need to get back to some walking, too. Been just sitting around for days now.
Remember - don't overdo!
Joy Lynn -- yes, well, I won't be doing it today because I whacked out my knee. What a pain.
