Today I did all the extra little tricks in getting my walking distance up:
1) catch an early enough bus to be able to get off one stop early to walk extra,
2) run up and down the stairs (two large flights) after one morning and one afternoon bathroom break,
3) walk somewhere during lunch,
4) get off the bus early on the way home for extra walking.
That's in addition to walking to and from bus stops and other normal walking I do every work day anyway. It still doesn't add up to 10,000 steps, but it's close: 9300. Dance class will push me over. Well, maybe not rumba. Last week I did an entire song of Cuban motion drill and the pedometer measured zero steps. There's something about landing with a bent knee when you take a step and then straightening your leg as you take the next step that apparently mystifies the pedometer. It has no problems noticing steps in cha cha, though. Either my Cuban motion isn't as good or it's so fast that I can't fool my pedometer with it.
