Hello everyone!
I recently celebrated my Favorite Dad's birthday, (my only dad...but my favorite...our little inside joke), and got him a cool high tech pedometer. As we all know, the more you move the more energy or calories you burn in a day. Of course, the more calories you burn the more weight you can potentially lose.
My Favorite Dad and I chatted today about how it was going with the walking. He said something to me that really made me laugh...
"I can really tell if I had a good golf game or bad golf game based on the number of steps my pedometer says...about 8000 steps equated to a score of 82 and about 12,000 equated to a score of 102!"
We came to this conclusion:
The worse the golfer you are...the more fit you will become! There is always a silver lining!!!
The recommendation is to try for 10,000 steps a day for good health. Most people average between 3000 and 5000/day. A pedometer is an easy, inexpensive, and fun way to monitor this. Try it for yourself...you might be surprised at how much or how little you move during the day!
Ok, enough typing...off to workout! Have a great day!
