19,350 trying to add a little 10/20 mins walking on the spot ( or dancing around the living room) after meals thanks to little tips on these pages.
@flexi06 That is fantastic news. If fbg is not what you want just go again it will come right with all the work you are putting inWoo hoo the little dance paid off 5.3 before dinner 5.7 after. Hope it carries me thru to the morning for a nice low fbg see u on the other side x
Or walk up and down stairs a few times, or do step-ups on just one. For me the concept of "training" has transformed those senior moments when I find myself upstairs without remembering what I came for into a plus.19,350 trying to add a little 10/20 mins walking on the spot ( or dancing around the living room) after meals thanks to little tips on these pages.
I like the idea of having a spread of targets. 7K is the minimum I really shouldn't dip below (though I do sometimes). 10K is better, 14K on target and 21K excellent (but I can't remember when I last achieved this, maybe some long summer walks I have planned will do it). I find that one achieveful day is usually followed by a rather feeble one.Looking at the high numbers from @Goonergal and @flexi06 I feel just a little humbled and embarrassed. Took it very easy today and will end up with about 11.5K steps but pleased I managed 10K. Pleased for you two and everyone else who exercised well today.
If you try them, start gently just a few to start with.Just walking again today only 10,000 steps so nowhere near @Goonergal or @flexi06 but its all good activity I figure.
I agree @Alexandra100 just walking up stairs is good. And I often find myself dancing around the kitchen or bedroom to increase heartrate and stepcount and always feel happier for it.
@johnpol I was really interested in the exercises you posted for @ianpspurs I’m going to try these too. I was meaning to ask if anyone could recommend some simple(ish) core exercises I could do at home. Since having a kidney out last year ( not diabetes related) I have a big hernia type bulge in my side, the surgeon said I just need to increase my core strength.
Ps @Japes hope you feel better soon
Thanks @kev-w Both yourself and @johnpol have been really helpful. Some very knowledgeable and helpful members on here.@ianpspurs, I'd agree with johnpol's advice, I'm wary of suggesting weights until you get your scan results, if you can manage a length of your pool, go neck deep near a wall and 'tread water' breaststroke legs but vertical body with your hands 'sculling'
Brilliant stepping young ladyEvenin all. 18,330 sooo hot today - hope u all enjoyed it xx
