Step Challenge: Week 2
May. 14th, 2014 09:56 pmIt's another week of victory. By which I mean I logged over 10K steps each work day and over 5K steps each weekend day.
I continued pacing at the bus stop and walking during lunch like before the challenge. I did my pilates workout again and walked around the block a few times like last week. And I also did a twelve-minute workout* and an evening of ballroom dancing.
* The link goes to a 7-minute workout. I am not efficient at looking up the next exercise and remembering how to do it and getting to the place where I can do it so it took me 12 minutes. Also, I didn't do that exact workout, but a similar one I made up to have more upper-body stuff.
Last week it felt like a mild challenge; this week, an annoyance. One should not wait until bedtime to finish up, ideally.
My total steps (and step equivalents) are now 129,265. Subtracting 58,571 from last week means this week's total was 70,694. That extra 20K was almost entirely from the dancing.
It turns out that the official work challenge is really completing 300,000 steps in six weeks. I still prefer my version of meeting daily goals. Unless I'm really aching or something from overachieving the day before, I should be getting up out of my chair several times a day to do something more active.
