Today I walk like a Frenchman

I was reading an article in which the writer was trying to reach the goal of 10,000 steps a day by walking in the house. So this week I'm going to work with this theory to encourage more moving in my day. Besides walking around, today is my 10 flights of stairs day. I will be doing 30 minutes of biking which will give me about 3000 steps. And there is notoriously my fat man exercises which are body resistance exercises that I do for about five minutes in two sessions. 

The idea of house walking fits very well taking walking breaks frequently to break up a sedimentary life.

So far at 2:10 pm. I have 5,332 steps. I could add another 2000 steps to me day today. Men in Japan walk a little over 7000 and in France they walk about 6500 steps. But if I go to the land down under in the western parts I am walking 10,000 steps. 

Each day I will take a different emphasis, today stairs, tomorrow resistance training, next day shadow boxing. It is snowing today so part of the house walks which will be outside will increase the amount of the house steps. This strategy also keeps me safer from falls. When you convert steps make sure you count going down as well. If walking 2 flights of stairs takes me 1:15 then it is 113 steps up and 44 steps down in the step converter. I have already met my 10 fight goal for today.

Review

3000 steps or less not enough. (We are all different and always best to be in tune with your own body and what your doctor thinks.)

5000 moving in to a better activity range. If this includes an aerobic walk awesome.

7000 steps and you are walking better than a Frenchmen. 

10,000 steps you are active.

12,000 steps almost guarantees weight loss.

15,000 steps you are fit like my grandson Liam. 

Well I think I have found my scooter. It is called a liberty trike I can be peddled or motored up to 11 miles an hour. The trike breaks down easily to be carried in the car. I can use it like a scooter or a bike for exorcize. I can shop with it use it on day trips and the motor will give assistance up the hills. I am considering put on an electronic motor to my recumbent bike. My recumbent bike has 21 gears and will give a better bike workout. The motor will help me get up hills, trikes are harder than regular bikes. And if I'm tired or too hot I'll just cruising the motor. 

Biking seems to be a better fit for me than walking outdoors. I am in a no fall zone. 

House walking or frequent small walks I want to do it as well. 

Walking has many strategies. If you walk 15, 30, 45 minutes there are all kinds of benefits, even if your over all activity is down. Keep walking
