Compared to some I would be sedentary compared to others I'm over active.

Besides, rest is when your body repairs itself and GETS STRONGER!

If we were getting exercise from day to day activities, most of us would use our free time for rest, not for five mile tempo runs. :-)Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15430509.post-1136322627008332782006-01-03T16:10:00.000-05:002006-01-03T16:10:00.000-05:00I was looking at the training page for the 25k I h...I was looking at the training page for the 25k I hope to do, which should also work with the 1/2 marathon next month (most of which I will be walking!) and it has a 10,000 steps program, which is states is about 5 miles. Its mainly for walking. So I decided to count my steps in the office, actually taking the steps. It is 205 steps to the 6th floor from the 9th to our mailroom. So if I did that 41 times a day, I would get 5 miles in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15430509.post-1136318853899519582006-01-03T15:07:00.000-05:002006-01-03T15:07:00.000-05:00Ellie, I'll bet you move more than you imagine.

I spend LOTS of time at the PC, editing pics, uploading them to my Blog or sharing them with my running clubs & friends, writing my race reports. All of which I heartily enjoy, but I SHOULD also get back into my YOGA, working on my ACTING stuff (you know, actors need to audition every now and then!), clean the HOUSE every once in a while, etc.<BR/><BR/>But at least my butt is not glued to the TV chair, or couch-potatoed! :-)*jeanne*https://www.blogger.com/profile/07786378434413037583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15430509.post-1136316041824071662006-01-03T14:20:00.000-05:002006-01-03T14:20:00.000-05:00It worked, Vickie!

Almost all day 5 days a week--40+ hours at the job (although I do get up from time to time and our office is on 5 floors, so there are always steps) plus probably at least 2 more hours each night, either watching TV, reading, or on the computer. Sometimes I actually stand watching TV but I hardly count that as being active.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15430509.post-1136313053399225092006-01-03T13:30:00.000-05:002006-01-03T13:30:00.000-05:00i am like that too.
