Because of other activities, I haven’t always reached my goal of 70,000 steps per week, but that’s okay as I know that I have been active.
I still love my Fitbit to track how many steps I walk per day, and it really motives me to walk more the next day after having a low-step day.
Here are my recent weekly Fitbit progress reports:

I also started hiking again, and I look forward to more hikes, which should also help with my weekly step total. On my first hike in a long time, I noticed that I was seriously out of shape when it comes to very steep hills. It’ll be nice to go hiking more regularly again and working on my “steep hill stamina.”

And some animals at the farm at the end of the hike:

Questions: What’s your favorite exercise at the moment? I am really looking forward to regular, challenging hikes. How often do you mix up your exercise routine? I tend to get into exercise ruts easily and have to make a conscious effort to mix things up every month.
Be well,
Andrea
