I have been volunteering to run errands across campus so that I can make my steps. My biggest battle is actually with my diet. I play tennis 3-4 times a week, and with the way that I am currently eating, I am only maintaining my current weight. If every thing wasn't so damn delicious, I would probably be back to my high school weight.

So if I do the proportion, 10,000 steps equal about 4.48 miles (and 793 calories burned—about half a meal for me).<br /><br />I've heard that intensity is better than the slow-burn approach, too, but I'll have to shed a lot more laziness before I start jogging and sprinting. In my case, I'm more likely to ramp up intensity by walking places that are hillier. <br /><br />One of my colleagues has invited me to walk with her; she does a 5.5-km hike up some local hills (that's about half the distance for 10,000 steps, but probably 1.5 times the intensity). Since the beginning of the semester last year, she says she's lost 20 kilos, which is an unbelievable amount of weight. She walks this route five times a week. I admire her grit and persistence.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-49325919085461458232014-01-27T01:48:56.324+09:002014-01-27T01:48:56.324+09:00Good job!

I hear experts say that brief periods of intense exercise is better than walking, but then other experts say walking is just as good for you. It's all so confusing...<br />Johnhttp://www.mccrarey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-64026963411656259892014-01-27T01:05:24.475+09:002014-01-27T01:05:24.475+09:00Jason,

Now that I'm on vacation, I have days where I stay inside and don't walk at all, but otherwise, I've been using my new cell phone's nifty built-in pedometer (sounds like a device to count how many kids you molest) to measure my output. I rarely make the goal of 10,000 steps; my normal average is about half that or less. Still, that's a damn sight better than the <i>nothing</i> I was doing while I was in Front Royal and had a car to take me everywhere, including a mere half-klick down the street for groceries.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-62546554157808844992014-01-27T00:30:55.550+09:002014-01-27T00:30:55.550+09:00Congratulations on the weight loss! When I was in ...Congratulations on the weight loss! When I was in living in Korea, the amount of walking I did on a daily basis was probably triple what I do here in Mississippi. I actually bought a pedometer, so I can try to mimic the amount of moving that I did. I remember at one point you were doing a lot of hiking. Are you still hitting the trails?
