      thanks Kim. Starting with small targets, aiming to increase the average daily steps by 1000 per week until I break the 10,000. This excludes all other exercise, my logic being that if I can work out a routine that includes 10,000 daily steps at a minimum then that is a good foundation.

    great 2500 steps 00:10:00

    decided to get off the sofa for the final 10 minutes of the football game I was watching and jog on the spot. According to my fitbit, this worked out to be 2500 steps.

      I agree 100%! :) The only difference is that when you finished, you surely felt a dual sense of accomplishment. You got a workout in and your garden certainly looks great now! :)

      Keep going Mark. You will get stronger as you progress. Eat well and get plenty of sleep for recovery. Keep the burn alive push through it.

      @Spike - good advice. Fixing my sleeping pattern has also been a 2013 resolution. In general it has improved but lots of opportunity to get better. Exercising again makes me tired in the evenings so actually hitting the sack before midnight is feeling right again

      thanks Jim & Raffael. I like most sports which involve bat/racquet etc but they usually require at least one other player and I am the worst for being available when anyone else is. New attitude, make the time.
