How many steps do you take a day?

[ChookityPop]

How many steps do you take as well as your severity?

Im average 400-1300 steps according to my iphone. Im moderate- severe.

1) How many steps on a well paced day?
2) How many steps on a crashed day?
3) Hw many steps on a day when you have to push for something important, but you know it will crash you after?

Don't have an iphone. How many steps? - at the moment it feels like too many!

2500 on a well paced day. I recently managed about 3500 to 4000 for about 10 days but of course crashed and am currently down to around 1500

This is such an interesting question!

On a good day I can do 1200, but that's really my safe max. On a crashed day it's about 600. On a day that I need to push (and know I will crash the next day) I can do 1500 or maybe 1600. But the more I do the uglier it will get! I think of myself as moderate.

If people don't mind, I'd like to add to the question-

1) How many steps on a well paced day?
2) How many steps on a crashed day?
3) Hw many steps on a day when you have to push for something important, but you know it will crash you after?

I copy pasted your Qs into the post as well. Good questions.

1. 1200-1500
2. 400-500
3. idk actually.

Well paced- 2500
Normal crash -1200-1500
Severe crash - 500
Pushing - 4000

I pay attention more to- how long I stood up (typically in the kitchen, where food and cleaning must take place).

Anyone try this with a Samsung Galaxy? I did not realize this was possible. Not sure if my phone has the Operating system required.

Yes for me, not standing up for longer than 20mins 3 times a day (ie for making meals and a walks a few times a week) is more important than step count but I do find that if I start to go over 2500steps it involves standing up for longer. So I try to combine both pacing methods.

Lots&lots? I don't have a convenient way to measure steps. How many steps in 2.5 km (my typical daily walk)? Of course, my ME is atypical, so probably not relevant to whatever you're asking.

BTW, if anything, lots of walking makes me feel a bit better than if I'd sat around all day.

is that around 3200 steps ? assuming: 2.5 km=8200 feet divide by 2.5 feet per step (your stride?).

Does that seem right?

What am I at , around 100 steps? EGAD...

I think counting steps is one way of counting time upright. I combine counting steps with trying to monitor my heartrate for pacing.

@wabi-sabi - however, i can walk for longer than i can stand still - the walking keeps the blood circulating so standing completely still for more than 10 mins would be very difficult but I can walk for 20 mins a few times a week. For me personally, I believe more of my issues is related to circulation than energy depletion (yet i don't have POT's as such) - am hoping to test my theory with a supine (not seated - must be flat on my back) bike.

I subscribe to all this. MY ME is seasonal and I'm much better in warm weather (which make me think it's a circulation issue) but I can manage around 700 steps on any day. It's hard for me to get started but once I am I can keep going for at least 10 minutes at my best. However, standing still is like a tightrope act for me. I couldn't manage a couple of minutes, let alone ten. And just like you, I don't have POT's. I do have other neurological problems which bleed into the CFS but my balance has got markedly bad in the last couple of years. I already have a shower rail but will probably need a chair soon.

People often say they want to live long enough to see flying cars, but I just want to be able to ride in a hoverbed...

Me too, and worse still since a spell of good (for UK) weather. Each change in the weather affects me much more than it used to.
