I walked 40,000 steps in Adidas slides because I was too lazy to wear my actual walking shoes.

Day 8/30 walking 15k steps everyday for 30 days
One week down & I’m still showing up. 15,000 steps a day is quite the commitment (for me) but I’m starting to feel like this is becoming part of my routine instead of something I have to force myself to do. A lot of people keep telling me, “Don’t stop after 30 days.” & I don’t plan to. I started this challenge to see what 30 days could do, but I’m already realizing I want this to be something I continue long after the challenge is over. Still tired as hell afterward though.

Day 7/30 walking 15k steps everyday for 30 days
One whole week down!
I really didn’t know how my body was going to handle 15,000 steps every single day especially after being so inactive for so long. I’m for sure still feeling it by the end of my walks but I’m also starting to realize just how much my body can actually handle when I keep pushing it. I’m also starting to notice that the walks are becoming more of a mental reset. There’s something about being outside for that long with nothing but my thoughts that I actually really enjoy. I have so much time to just think. I’m getting better at accepting that some days are going to be harder than others. Some days I have energy, some days I’m dragging myself through those last few thousand steps. And those last few thousand steps are still the hardest.
I’m proud of myself for making it through the first week without giving up. Now onto week 2!
Progress videos still on my page.

GAP socks suck. What’s Better?
I’m relatively new to walking.
I’ve got some decent shoes, (Brooks Ghost Walker 3), but I bought some GAP brand socks gap brand from TJ Maxx.
They’ve got a seam across the toe. They just generally are unsatisfactory.
What’s a good brand of socks that I should shop for?

Need help with shoes, please.
I am in dire need of a quality walking shoe.
I walk 4 miles every morning. Sidewalks and paved roads. Have for years. I used to wear the all leather echelon 3 from Saucony. They provided stability, support, comfort and would last 350, to 400 miles.
No longer available, I've tried other Saucony and the new echelon and others just do not provide the same stability or comfort. Besides that, the last pair I tried lasted 132 miles before the support vanished.
I've tried Merrell, Brooks (which were a BIG disappointment).
Does anyone know of a long lasting, comfortable all leather walking shoe ?
Thank you

Stepup group/buddies for 10-20k steps
Hi! I’ve been enjoying walking more lately and would love to add more friends on the app if possible! Please feel free to add me if your goal is like 10-15k steps and maybe up to 20k if you are pushing for it. Anymore than that is really great but would really like to see numbers closer to my range!! 10k is still a bit of a push for me at times but really want to establish a good walking routine as it has been doing wonders for me.
If there also any groups with my step goals (not like crazy 30k+ steps, again I admire that but I want to see more lower range for a friendly competition ^^), please I’d love an invite! Thank you
Add me on StepUp, a fun app to track steps & compete with friends!

Day 1/30 of walking 20,000 steps
Posting here to keep myself accountable and hopefully motivate others. I usually only get like 11,000 steps per day so this was a pretty big jump for me.

Are there any good walking pads?
Are there any good walking pads?
Are there any walking pads that do not suck?
I always hear that they break quite fast and the quality isn’t good.
I want to buy one with an incline where I can do 5k+ steps on rainy days while watching a tv show of Amazon and can’t decide.
If I shouldn’t buy a walking pad in general what form of cardio to do at home do you suggest?

Is walking enough? Overworked and struggling.
Yall I work too many hours at an office job and 2nd job. Early as hell in the morning and get about 2hrs of daylight after work before working again. Sitting down while I work all day so I don’t move enough (and considering a walking pad just gotta get on it cus that would seriously help).
I’m overwhelmed and burnt out so going to a gym seriously is just so much, I feel like walking is manageable because I don’t have to factor in the drive and gas etc I can just go straight from home. If I’m eating 1400 calories a day am a 5’8 24yrs female weighing 166lbs. How many steps should I take a day for a serious “beach bod”? I want to be healthy, fit, and skinny again but just so overwhelmed with life I think mentally I can handle walking as much as possible over worrying about how many sets and a gym membership etc… I don’t have any room where I live to do workout stuff indoors either.
I used to be so active and just naturally stayed skinny and fit because I was always hiking and climbing and doing things, working to survive the last 3 years has stolen it from me and I want it back through walking if possible.

1000+ steps, Bacchus Marsh, Victoria Australia
They call this place 1000+ steps but there are actually 1150 stairs from the bottom of the hill to the top .
I did the entire short walk 3 times and did another 650 of the stairs to make sure I completed 4000.
The stairs are fairly big at the bottom but they get progressively steeper as you get closer to the top.
It's a great workout just north of Melbourne especially if you climb to the top a few times.
There's also a loop that goes around the top of hill but I didn't worry about doing the loop today. I wanted to get some elevation in over a short distance.
Normally this is a great place to see kangaroo's as well but I didn't see any today but have seen them every other time I've been here. I probably would have seen them if I bothered with the loop.
