No excuse not to go for a walk
And so I did, for the second day in a row. What does the Fit-bit say today, did I reach the magic 10,000 steps?
At present, I live less than a kilometer from the Sea,and with spring well underway, the days are getting longer and the tourists that little bit more pink.
After the Engagement League post today, I strapped the Fit-bit Flex on for the 2nd day in a row, and decided I would walk the length of the shore at Cala Millor beach.
The phone camera is a bit poop with distance, but in the photo above you can just about see a couple of white hotels that mark the end of the sand. Apparently, one of those is owned by Rafa Nadal, I must ask him which one next time I see him waxing his boat in Porto Cristo. Was he waxing his boat or his 6-pack, I can't remember...
The nice thing about walking along the shore is that you can obviously go barefoot. I had a reply on my post yesterday mentioning barefoot running as a way to help strengthen lower limbs and so the shoreline, even though it's slightly at an angle, seems like a good place to start with this.
Thank you @actifit for encouraging me to get off my arse for 2 days in a row now. I'm pretty pleased with my count and can feel that I'm close to adding some more exercise into the mix soon.
Err yeah, so this was going to be posted via the app but because midnight passed my activity count was 0 and I didn't realise that you cant go back to record a previous days.
I'll never become an AFIT whale at this rate!
Cheers

lol I had a good day walking yesterday and forgot to post. >10k steps gone :( Sadness.
Beautiful beach you have there ;)
Oops!
I should really read up but is 10k reward-able, or should I say, less than 10k unrewarded? :D
heyyy happy to see you going on a streak !
Not the first to miss a post due to midnight LOL
5K is the min rewardable, rewards get higher till you reach 10K. Of course many factors are in, but that is the activity/step count aspect :)
Sounds like you're doing a good job @abh12345.
You get rewarded at anything past 5000 steps so you will well over the target.
I've missed a couple of posts too, often on days when I've done loads of steps, because I'm out after midnight and forget. Annoying!
Actifit posts in your feed aren't as bad as they were in the early days. You couldn't add images or other stuff then so they were very bog standard posts.
I've never tried the app with a wearable as my fitbit broke some time ago which means I miss steps when I don't have pockets or just forget to have my phone on me. I also gain steps if I'm in the car and we go over a particularly nasty bump. 😂
Thanks for the info :)
True, but I think if you are followed for your other content then I'm not sure how people will feel about a change of tact. I think a new account would be best for me.
The Fit-bit helps - I didn't take my phone out yesterday which made the walk even nicer as I wasn't distracted. Although, more photos would have been nice :)
Probably. I've posted mine on an alt account for yonks. Although maybe not new necessarily. Don't you already have a few alts? 😁
I have a few :D
Maybe @zapncrap will do the honors. That account doesn't post much and does lots of curation!
!ENGAGE 50
Here are your
ENGAGEtokens!To view or trade
ENGAGEgo to steem-engine.com.Oooo. Thanks for the tokens @abh12345. 😍
You missed a trick there. You could have called this account misterengageandstep. Sorted! 😂
geeze not a real score i should not have put a real vote lol. Man the mistakes i made and still do with actifit, guess everyone has to go through it
Yeah, what a bummer. I think i'll create a new account for the actifit posts though as the content is different from what i've been putting out for the last couple of years.
yeah i wished i made my drugwars main account a different one. Spent a heap of steem on my michealb one and stuff all on my alt account - did it backwards. let me know if you do. I'll prob just autovote a few cents your actifit one then
I'm running a profitable alt on drugwars, my main is totally screwed :)
Opted to post my actifit's with this account: https://steemit.com/actifit/@zapncrap/actifit-zapncrap-20190415t182806199z
As you can see, it's not very well known :D
profitable? what's that? i'm one of those guys that spent 1000 steem.might take years to get back lol. just recently joined the illuminati gang.
Actifit is pretty cool as a tool to get "addicted" to as something that actually encourages health. Did it for a while, but the app is a bit dodgy in terms of accuracy... but maybe that has been fixed since then. I think I prefer GPS based trackers.
Never posted the reports though, as they just seem like an excuse for "empty" content... maybe I should have set up a "throwaway" account for Actifit, Drugwars, Dlike and all that... but to each their own.
In any case, good on you for getting out there!
=^..^=
I think there is huge on-boarding potential via @actifit.
It's true that the written content might be a bit brief, but I think some would argue that proof of walk is worth rewarding too.
I think that as I've earned my followers via other content, I might have to create an alt for actifit. Hey, I might even vote it and claim 0 self-votes in the Engagement League :P
Thanks! Feels good!
Doh! I’ve done that before. I’ve a reminder to post before midnight, even if I need to come back later and polish up the content.

Yeah, and I had time too, just thought it wouldn't be an issue.
I see you don't post daily through @actifit, or do you have an alt to post them?
Nah. My mind is on other projects is all. Decided to delegate to @actifit to passively collect some AFIT without having to think about posting activity reports. Also after I finished the marathon race other activities seem uninteresting and not worth posting about!

Looks a sweet place to take some fit bit steps! And with greased famous people 6 packs... noice!

It really is, pretty lucky to have the beach so close. As do you if I remember correctly from SteemFest?
Not the same kinda beach....but yeah pretty sweet. Good memory. This was earlier today...
😎
Niiiice :)
Looks pretty chill over there. Once crypto winter is over I will have to reassess my options!
I guess you were too busy beating me on Steem Monsters to post on time! BTW, in the settings of the @actifit app you can tell it to remind you to post once a day at the time you determine. It has saved me a couple of times I have almost forgotten.

heh :)
I actually snoozed off with the laptop on my knees and wasn't aware you couldn't backtrack. Lesson learned!
Walking along the seashore is something very motivating. Of course, if you live there, maybe it's not so special for you, but when you're not near the sea and have the opportunity to do it, it's really rewarding and special. :)
By the way, did they give you work at the hotel?
It's special for me but I should appreciate it as much as possible.
The hotel is still being renovated, I will know more this week. Thanks for asking :)
Actually really cool and if it was a day like that out I definitely be doing the same thing
