After a couple of years struggling to find time to do some exercise, 5 months ago I decided to try, at least, walking 10000 steps daily. I am running/walking every morning since may and very happy to feel fitter again. Keep on cycling!
That's really what it takes. Just get moving. A little or much, it doesn't matter, as long as it becomes a habit.
It started with 10,000 steps last year for me after a few years of inactivity.
Got a small saving's account which was giving me 11% interest if I was doing 10,000 steps every day for 200 days. It worked (except at the end, where I caved and sometimes shaked my phone to not have to go for a midnight beer run to get my steps in~~).

That is an interesting nudge! 11% interest for walking!! I wish I had it here…
reply
It's nice, but not as great as it sounds. 11% on a lump sum is nice, however 11% with daily savings of a small capped amount, ends up being ~5% on the final amount saved after 200 days. Still nice, but it's mostly good marketing.

Understood!

Are you on Workit? They posted about their step counter app a while ago. I'm starting my first fitness challenge with them, which has a 300 kilosat prize.
reply
Yep! It has started today. Just completed the task. The pool is 740 kilosat plus 300k that will be awarded to 5 lucky winners.

Nice! I need to get off my lazy butt, so I don't lose on day 1.

I think that @grayruby is also in the participant’s list.
reply
Yes, I joined the challenge. Don’t have many steps in yet today since it is morning here but I will make sure to get my 10k in.

Too bad it's not on Android yet. I remembered their post. Looks nice
Ok! Not many adding steps yet, but it may be due to time zones.
