Today, I went out to go to the public market. I am using a mobile app to monitor my baby steps from the house to the wet market and vice-versa. I got 7,450 outdoor steps in total. It was not bad to have brisk walking for the day. I am a ninja with a gray face mask with a backpack.
Did you do some exercises lately?
Do you monitor your walking distance?

Not really. When I was still in Baguio, I often have long walks. But now that were here in the downlands, it's hard to do since it's hot!

@Shavkat Were kinda stuck here in Bataan since we visited some relatives. The plan is to just stay for a month so we can enjoy the beach.

@cherriefic I got it now. It is not cool to travel back home then. When I visited my younger sister in Imus, there are some cases about this virus. After a week, the lockdown was implemented.

I wore a step monitor for three months at work at Walmart. I averaged 7 miles every day I worked.

@DaddyEvil It is a mobile app. It was claimed that it can accumulate coins while walking and then, you can use them to have some money.

@Shavkat Yes, it is a mobile app that tracks where you walk as well as how much you walk. Apparently, it has trouble telling when you're walking, though. Part of the time it determines a fast pace as riding a bike, skating or even riding at slow speeds in a vehicle, which it won't pay you for. And you do earn "money" but it can only be spent to use as "discounts" on things sold by businesses who support the app.
I looked into some of those business and the prices they charge for their products. You'd be much better off sitting on your couch and buying those same items at full price from Amazon.
That's the reason I suggested the app Achievement. They actually pay you cash for the exercising/walking/jogging you do.

The other day I walked over 5,000 steps, which is not bad considering that we were in isolation for a long time, after that walk I didn't know which was my left and which was my right leg ... but when I walk regularly, I easily cross 10,000+ (my phone count for me)

@Shavkat I used to monitor but no longer do it. We start becoming more conscious.

@Shavkat That is the problem of Filipino's here. Because if we are going for a walk local people are calling us "chinwa" they thought we are chinese and specially when this corona virus starts. It's annoying though. Sad to say we don't have garden too.
