I have a Fitbit, but there are other (and cheaper) methods of counting steps.

(121,224 posts)2. I've been walking 4-5 miles a day since last summer
to help with weight loss (which it did, considerably). I don't know about all the benefits described in the video (I'm no smarter and my eyesight is still lousy), but besides the weight loss I'd had a lot of back and knee trouble for years and now that's all pretty much gone. It's also nice to spend time outside, even just walking around the neighborhood.

Sometimes 11,000.

(6 posts)6. walking
I walk every day, and my bad is I can't complete my goal of 10000 steps.
I'm using my phone to measure step count. I want to know on what basis mobile or application provides the information?

Do you keep track of everything you eat? That might provide a clue.
