Back Outside for 10000 Steps!

After some snowfall and much lower temperatures, we’re back to 30s and very low humidity so I’m outside! 10000 steps every day this week and much more planned for tomorrow! It’s forecast to be a high of 40 and sunny tomorrow so I’m thinking I will walk downtown. That is a rare day for winter in Chicago so I certainly want to take advantage of it.

The BodyBugg is an indispensable tool for keeping up with those 10000 steps. I have used a simple pedometer to log my steps and it does a great job but using the BodyBugg is the Rolls Royce of pedometers! I have a digital display so I can check live updates. It’s great to see that BIG TEN K! I especially like seeing my calorie burn per minute and how it can rise as I maintain a good walking pace! I have learned from using the BodyBugg that I actually hit my HIGHEST calorie burn from moving my full weight using the biggest compound muscle groups in the body. That’s what walking really is! And the “afterburn” can last for hours! Don’t underestimate the power of simple walking!
