i never realized how sedentary my life was until i started wearing a pedometer. I try to get in my 10,000 steps each day (it's easy when i have to work at the portrait studio - chasing toddlers, etc)... but on days when i just work my day job and sit at my desk, it's terrible. like 500 steps terrible. the only walking i do is from my house to the car and from the car to my office. so those days when i'm particularly slacking i ride the bike or take really really long fast paced walks.
i'm not losing weight but i am toning and firming and *gasp* getting a figure. it's great.
