Association of Daily Step Count and Step Intensity With Mortality Among US Adults

#2

I wish I could . It has rained here pretty much four or five days a week for the last two or three years here. The climate in certain parts of the U.S. had turned for the worst in the last few years.

I understand
Sorry about that
Not sure of your living situation
In the past.
I would just do some intense in home pacing
Maybe stairs ( if available)or even some jumping jacks I guess🤷🏻‍♂️

I recently changed my goal from 10k steps a day to 7500, maybe I should change that to the 8K now. Interesting article.

I have been using a fitbit watch to track steps for several years. now.

My experience is my phone is more accurate counting steps than the watch. My Android app for keeping track is called Step Counter-Pedometer, accurate, best reports I’ve found. Also run Sportractive because it will call out heart rate from a chest monitor to a BT headset while I’m listening to music or lectures. I think I wrote somewhere already that 6 months of walking 2 yours a day last year lowered resting heart rate from mid 60’s to mid 50’s and below. I was going 50 miles a week. Lots of mail carriers do that much and more. 150 years ago everybody did that.
