This morning, I wore my Fitbit for the first time when I went brisk walking and then to the gym. Too bad it rained when I was in the midst of brisk walking outside. I ran back to the condo and proceeded into the gym, where I worked out on the air-walker.
In my 40-minute workout today, I walked 3,992 steps and burnt 483 calories. This is not near my ideal target. I could have done better than that. I had to cut short my work out session as I have a lot of work to be done on the computer. Soon, I will have to go to school to check on Cass. But hey, this is still good and way better than sticking my butt on the chair or bed for 40 minutes.
The figures I get on my Fitbit today is still better than a big fat zero (had I not exercised), which would contribute to a big fat butt and belly. I am doing this not so much of wanting to be slim and trim but more towards investing in good health. As you already know, I have issues with genetic high cholesterol. I have already increased the duration of my work out everyday -- from swimming 20 laps to 26 laps a day and brisk walking from 20 minutes to 40 minutes. I alternate between swimming and brisk walking everyday.
I know many of you ain't doing anything to keep fit and healthy. It is never too late to start. Remember, even if you burn 100 calories a day, it is still better than a big fat zero :)
