Salsa is still just a single class and dancing with one partner. I go with a friend - so I am just leading - less steps than if I follow - but she cannot lead....

Next week we are going away for a 6 day holiday on Wednesday so there will be a week with no zumba starting Wednesday.
We are just going to the lake district which is about 100 miles from where we live - but it will be a nice change. Just hoping for some good weather

I did a challenge like this for myself a while back and thought maybe it could be fun :D. You can count yourself (might be a pain though lol) or if you have a tedometer you can use it. The callenge is to walk 10,000 steps a day! I know it's a little late in april but if we make the challnge deadline May 17th it will be a month so :p. Anyone care to join me?? very fun and pretty easy!! (I'll admit I cheat at school :D).

hi nazarath, good luck for 10.000 walks a day
there is no way for me to walk 10.000 steps a day
any way i admit i used to cheat at school too :p
 
Thought that I would save the last few readings off my pedometer ahead of going away tomorrow..

I did zumba on Monday... I will have zumba tonight - but no more after that for the next week...

Hey there — congrats with your progress! You're amazing.

I'm wondering what step tracker are you using to count your steps (if you use one).

I'm planning to get one but there are a lot of Link Removed to choose from.

Thanks in advance!

My husband and I both wear an simple pedometer that counts steps.

Pedometers are really cheap and I have worn different ones for years (since I did my big project)...

In all honesty - while I find a pedometer to be a motivator - I started my big project without one and lost an awful lot of weight by simply going out and walking as far as I felt that I could - and then seeing if I could walk further the next time... You don't really have to buy anything...

Nowadays a lot of mobile phones count your steps for you too.

There are more technical devices that you can buy - but I haven't bothered with anything like that.

Its been a poor and odd week for step counts...
On Sunday we had to travel down to London - and we travelled back on Tuesday - with a busy time working - but no time for exercise on Monday

There was little opportunity for zumba too. My classes on Monday and Friday take place at a gym. The gym is closed this week and next because one of the staff members has covid - and other members of the team are in isolation so unable to work.
 
Saturday 24/07/2021............................ 13,632 steps
Sunday 25/07/2021............................... 18,803 steps - salsa
Monday 26/07/2021............................. 6,755 steps my birthday - couldn't get to where we intended to walk due to gridlocked traffic
Tuesday 27/07/2021............................. 13,614 steps - salsa
Wednesday 28/07/2021...................... 15,668 steps - zumba
Thursday 29/07/2021........................... 8,507 steps -fell while walking in the countryside and got injured
Friday 30/07/2021................................. 2,711 steps - rest day due to injury

Social salsa is now allowed so got to salsa twice this week.
Gym closed so no zumba available on Monday or Friday.

Hit my head on Thursday so have a monster black eye and tons of bruising...
Picking my battles over where I go and what I do
 
I hope you heal quickly, Margaret. I had a fall a few weeks ago & it took well over a week to come right. Salsa back? Yay! You'll be back into it in no time :)
 
catch up posts from my records
Couldn't post initially as the site was frozen
I did actually post a few days ago - but the format conversion has clearly dropped those records - thank goodness for cut and paste.
