The day's not quite over but I am proud to report that I have 6161 steps on the pedometer!

WOW! That's a lot of steps!!
Are you doing anything special to add to the steps? like parking farther from a store, and walking, or walking around the house?? etc??

Well, I have TWO things to say. Yes, I *did* walk a few blocks to the mail and I did my 20 minute treadmill walking. And, two, this thing doesn't count right. So far today it says I've walked 350 steps and I've already done my 20 min walk on the treadmill. So, it is not accurate AT ALL. Think I might just take it back. :(

Ok.. I didn't want to say anything but that figure does sound pretty high to me, too. Thats why I asked if you were doing anything extra.
I had one that I never could get to count right. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong because I've heard of others using them with success...

It took me 30 min on the treadmill just to get to 2000 steps. and that is walking fast.

Linda, are you using a pedometer? If so, what kind do you use?

No, but when I was doing the treadmill it would tell me how many steps I was taking at a time.

OOh.. Linda.. does it show how many steps per mile?
I think that's neat feature! Mine doesn't do that.

I've never heard of a treadmill that did that. :) My stride is 19' in 10 steps. If I were good at math I could figure out how many steps were in a mile. BUT, .... I'm not good at knowing what formula to use for what situations. 8P

I've done some of my weighted ball video today. I've had it for years and never really used it. I had it before the kettle ball craze so I could never justify buying a kettle ball.

each time your foot moves it counts as a step and I never noticed how many are in a mile, but I would try to do 2000 steps in half an hour. It would count it forwards or count backwards, which ever way you wanted it to go.
