Keep On Moving - October

[agate]

MS creates some real challenges to keep on moving. It helps to inspire each other on how to find ways to move.

Did you stretch in your bed, swing your arms, roll side to side today? Or perhaps you did housework? Or exercised in a pool? Tracked your count of steps? Chased your cat around the home? Pushed the wheelchair wheels with your arms at the store? Post them here and we can support and egg each other on.

REMEMBER: this is a keep on moving thread, not keep on exercising! Any moving is important it doesn't have to be exercise! Even Science proves that.

This was our Sunshine 2's monthly thread for a long time, and the quotation is her message. We still miss her!

My average step count for September was 1,747 steps/day (based on 24 days). This is better than August. But for 6 days in September there was no step count because of technical difficulties.

What have you been doing for exercise?

Agate, to average that step count is wonderful. You must have days when you are unable to do quite that much, so it means you still have days when you are doing quite a bit more?

[agate]

Yes, that's how it is. Some days there may be only about 500 steps but other days there may be 3,000-4,000. When I see a day has ended with only about 600 steps, I make an effort to try for more steps in the coming days.
