That’s so great to hear. I’m not sure how you are tracking your steps now but I use a watch . It’s a great incentive. I set mine to a minimum of 5000 daily which is about 2.5 miles. It gets to be a real habit and so I walk first thing in the morning to reach the minimum and everything after that is a plus for me. Mine also nags me if I sit too long.

If you do get a watch you’ll be surprised at the number of steps you take daily. Each day you can add a few more steps around the building or outdoors and visually see your progress. You’ll be proud of yourself and won’t want to skip a day and your body will love you for the exercise. I have a Samsung Galaxy that I got on Amazon about 4 years ago. It tracks a lot more information and is synced to my Android phone. So the basic ones are a lot cheaper today even those that come with a lot of options. One thing though, my arm with the watch has to be in motion so perhaps a simple pedometer , if that’s what you are using, might work better since you are using a walker.

By the way, you don’t have to walk fast in the beginning…just a steady gait and your speed will increase over time.
