Leann I use a step meter and wear it all day. I go to a park with our Sheltie (Jasper) and DH of course. We try and walk a mile to two miles at least once a day and if possible twice. If I get only the one walk in the count is more like 6800 to 8500 so twice is what I like to do.
Today was 7320 steps so I fell short of my goal but had other things to take care of today.
