I did my walking today, I walked 15 minutes, mailed a letter. I walked to the grocery , purchased avocado, hamburger , soda, onion for dinner salad and fixings, then walked 15 minutes back. My app recorded like this, I'm at 60% for today...where else should I walk?

@Erinmfs. I also find it can be difficult to get the recommended number of steps. The number that is thrown around is 10,000 steps but I have also read that for seniors 5,000 is sufficient. You look younger so if you aim for 10,000 you basically need to walk further. One of my friends does this on dreary days by walking circles around the house! In normal times many do it walking in malls.
Our town has an outdoor track at the HS and some people do that but it looks sort of boring to me. These days most places have walking trails too. I’ve never done the ones in our town but I will be soon. There’s one by the river which I hear is pretty.
Good luck, you’ve had a great start.

@Erinmfs
I think someone is a show-off!
I went to the store today but I certainly didn't walk. Empty shelves all over the store. It is absolute insanity. I can't believe how selfish and thoughtless people are. All this fear and panic, WHY?
