We walked 10,000 steps every day for 30 days. Find out what happened. Hi, I’m Zena and I’m doing the 10,000 steps a day challenge because I want to try and make my baseline activity for the day a little more active. My name is Fatima I decided to do the 10,000 steps challenge because I thought I wasn’t walking enough I’m Kim and I signed up to do the 10,000 steps a day for the accountability Hi, I’m Erica. I’m doing the 10,000 steps challenge because I know I definitely don’t walk enough I’m hoping after 30 days that I’ll see a little bit more definition, I think that’s always good and I think it’s really cool to be able to see those kind of results from just walking because I think people would think like walking, not really a form of exercise but there’s old ladies out there getting it with their steps in every day and they seem pretty limber and fit I’m hoping to lose a little weight because I feel that I don’t exercise enough and that’ll push me a little I feel like I’m skinny fat and I’d like to decrease my body fat percentage I would love to feel a little bit more mobile and less stiff and also reduce stress How many steps a day would you say you typically take?

I think I take average 3,000 to 4,000 I usually take between 3,000 and 5,000 steps a day and that’s thanks to my dog You know what’s sad? I actually walk to work currently You do? I do! And I still only get like 5,000 steps a day because I live very close to work I usually take about probably 2,000 to 3,000 a day during the week on the weekends it’s different probably like 20,000 because I like to go on long hikes Do you know why you’re supposed to take 10,000 steps a day or have you heard that before? I’ve heard it but I don’t know why.

Maybe it originates from the past because I know back in the day they used to walk like six miles a day I’ll link this article below but apparently the 10,000 steps myth came about in the 1960s when a Japanese company started selling pedometers which is a very good way of getting people to buy pedometers setting an arbitrary number that’s high and telling them that they need to step that much every day but studies later confirmed that people who take 10,000 steps a day have lower blood pressure, they have more stable glucose levels and better moods – which I’m all about You know, I get quite moody and I am looking forward to seeing if that is going to add a noticeable lift to my day Today marks Day 1 of 30 I am currently at 8,900 which is pretty good I walked to work today which was nice I’ve been telling myself to do this forever So, it is almost nine o’clock and I just brushed my teeth I have already put on pajamas I’m like fully ready to wind down and start getting ready for bed and realize I only have nine thousand steps so…

Gona put pants on again and go out there for another thousand It is day seven how are we doing so far, Kim? I think I’m not doing so well… How many days did you successfully walk 10,000 steps? Confidently, three days I walked 10,000 steps three times I have successfully completed seven for seven walking 10,000 steps I walked 10,000 step for six days I’ve actually been in a really great mood the last few days I feel good I think knowing that I’m taking a lot of steps actually makes me feel great For me I think it’s a little bit too soon to tell if I feel any different I’m excited for the next three weeks I think it’s been good so far I’m getting a lot of audiobooks in Okay, guys.

Seven days done stay tuned to see how the rest of it goes… will we make it? I’m getting ready to go do my walk it’s a little early but um it feels good the morning feels good I’m only 6,500 steps in so I’m taking a post-work walk with my dog she’s really enjoying this challenge It’s like now finally 9 o’clock and I still have 5,000 steps to go this is probably the hardest day so far for this challenge Steps challenge life hack you can get about 5000 steps in 30 minutes…On the jump rope! We have completed week two of the 10,000 steps a day challenge Kim, how’s it going? I’m struggling! How many days of the week of the past week have you completed 10,000 steps I would say five That’s really good!

It’s good but it’s a struggle! This week I walked 10,000 steps for three days straight I have miraculously hit 7 for 7 I think now I’m just on a streak and I’m stubborn I’m like don’t want to break it but it does involve a lot of like “Okay, 10 o’clock at night and I still have 3000 to go.” Mmhmm.

Gotta get up and walk around the living room I think I walk 10,000 steps maybe once or twice only This week wasn’t good So that is the end of Week 2 Let’s see how we do for the last two, Kim! It is a Saturday morning It’s been so lovely and lazy I’m just watching MasterChef and Queer Eye but lo and behold it’s almost 12 o’clock and I have 132 steps Ahh!

Just getting home we have about four flights of stairs to climb that should get me maybe a hundred steps maybe two and… Jackpot! Okay, so we are in Week 3, and I am still struggling!

I’m really behind I think I’m the one who’s got the lowest score I feel like the step nazi This one over here has like 12,000 or 13,000 I’ve taken up a new hobby I now jump rope every morning for about five minutes Nice! This week to get my steps in I actually have just been like having a dance party at home by yourself.

By myself! Really cool…You know, I tried this morning to step in my shower while I was showering Getting your steps in is not cool it’s like walking around your block by yourself without a dog or pacing around your friends or like dancing in your living room by yourself My biggest challenge is that I don’t find enough time during my day I think just the nature of working a desk job it is challenging by itself and also having travelled for work recently I don’t know… I don’t really know what the benefits I’m feeling are I don’t know that I feel more fit but I feel more mentally in a good place Mmhmm I agree with that I think I’m still snacking a lot more Me too!

Yeah, yeah. Once I start walking I’m just feeling great Yeah and I think mentally it’s become almost like a measure of success for a good day like I made it 10,000 steps I can go to bed, I’m happy That’s week three! Stay tuned one more week left let’s do this I am about 3,000 steps in at 6:00 p.m.

So I am about to go outside and go for a hike The most annoying thing has happened my headphones have gone on the fritz I realized how much I rely on listening to things to get through 10,000 steps a day and now that it’s not working I don’t want to walk anywhere I’m over it So we’ve reached the end of our 30 day challenge How’d you finish up here in the last week?

Disastrous My last week was good I made almost 20,000 steps probably five days a week My average for the month was 11,000 a day Well I kind of stepped up 3,000 steps a day I think my average is about 7,000 I think my average was about 8,000 That’s probably twice as much as it was! Prior to this, yeah Yeah definitely I think I gained weight on this challenge Oh, I’m sure I did and that kind of upset me and was probably part of the reason I just blew it on the last day I still lost a pound I gained weight! last day I still left it bound I gained It must be from walking to get snacks or because I traded my workouts for long walks instead I gained half a pound okay but I did lose on my waist and I lost body fat so maybe I gained muscle I think my body fat was about the same and I did lose an inch What advice would you give to someone who wanted to attempt 10,00 steps a day?

I think if you have the time to do it it’ll be much easier Get comfortable shoes and be prepared to give up some social time Also be mindful of your diet because you will be snacking often And get a good watch, something that can track your steps accurately so you want to check it every day and stay motivated I think I was looking for more physical changes throughout this challenge and that didn’t happen but I still really enjoyed it and I think I actually will continue to try and be mindful about how many steps I’m getting a day and try hit closer to 10,000 I think it’s a really interesting challenge to be more mindful of how much you walk and also what you put your time towards Okay that marks the end of our 10,000 steps a day challenge If you enjoyed, go ahead and like this video Comment below with anything else we should try for 30 days and let us know if you have completed this challenge.
