I walked 50,000 steps a day for 5 days and made a video about it. Please take a look!

Hi Reddit! I just uploaded this video on my vegan fitness YouTube channel about walking 50,000 steps for 5 days straight. I would love if you could give the video and myself some support, and please comment below any thoughts. How many steps have YOU gotten in a day? Do you also have a YouTube channel? I would be happy to check out yours as well Thanks so much!

@eastgrandkids Nice! I recently (about 3 weeks ago) started walking 10000 steps a day, it has improved my posture, made me stronger in the gym and made me sleep better. Keep it up sister!

edit: I personally feel that a minimum of 10k steps everyday is something more sustainable I can aim for every day, but would be fun to try 50k for 5 days like you did

edit: sry for lots of edits xD

@wandereroftruth That's awesome!!! Yeah no way in hell could I sustain 50,000 steps, but I had a week off of school and work and thought it would be fun. I usually average about 10,000 steps a day, too.

@eastgrandkids Wow thats impressive. Busy days,at work i clock 20k and thats a damn tiring day =.=

 

[eastgrandkids]

@dawn16 20,000 is insane! I literally had nothing going on (off of school and work) No way could I have done it if I had things to do

@eastgrandkids I work in overdose prevention and in a ten hour shift I clear 18,000 steps. Would definitely like to get up to 50,000 steps a day but doubt my feet could handle it.

 

[eastgrandkids]

@loro306 18,000 steps is a ton! AND you're getting paid for that!

 

[loro306]

@eastgrandkids The pay is not that great.

@eastgrandkids My previous job I easily clocked 12k in my 8 hours shift but now my job Im lucky to get 6k in a shift. (I dont even get to sit more its just standing still)

HOWEVER I have a flex and a garmin and I feel like my garmin over compensates when my arms move. I notice that if I am moping or sweeping a floor my garmin doesnt count ANY steps because my arms are moving. I'm very curious to see what would happen if I put the flex on my ankle. Do you have a link to that etsy store?

 

[eastgrandkids]

@menicklady I also have a flex and a Garmin. I wear my Garmin on my left wrist and my flex on my right ankle and I think it's pretty accurate.

I get the bands from this Etsy store but there are a ton of others. I just searched "fitbit flex ankle band" and they come right up

@eastgrandkids I've got a new baby and my kids are needy. With all the bouncing and chasing I easily clear 10,000.

@rahmcd Nice!!
