Walking at a work station getting close to 10,000 steps

One thing that I've been working on is consistency. Since my last entry I am in working on increasing my steps everyday and each day has its own emphasis. My indoor recumbent bike continues to play a big part in trying to improve my aerobic fitness.
I have read fitness articles on if you work at a desk job how to get more movement in your day. So taking that idea this is what I did today.
Today while working at my workstation, I've been taking half hour breaks where I walk  for about four minutes with indoor walking routine from Leslie Sansone. Using her routine works into a full body workout. For strength training today I will be doing TRX routine, plus my fat man exercises. (adoptive push-ups, dips, lunges and heal raises.)

Every half hour I have been doing a 3:20 walk. In a 4 hour work day that comes to 27 minutes of walking or about 3,000 steps. If I extend it to 8 hrs that is nearly and hour of walking and 6,000 steps. 10 minute strength training gives me 800 steps and I add 2790 steps for biking So today I have done so far 6590 steps and if I add 3000 steps by continuing my walks for the additional four hours I will get to 9590 steps. 
I keep a step conversion chart in a desktop folder to help me convert activities. 
Reaching close to 10,000 steps a few weeks ago looked difficult to reach. If I walk 5 minutes my back begins to ache. But at 3:20 I am OK. Well, time for another short walk. Pretty cool. Keep walking
