Ever wear a pedometer to the parks?

If so..how far have you walked in 1 day at a park. Just curious. I will be taking mine on our upcoming trip. If I walk enough I can skip the treadmill!

We did a few times when we were last there and it is amazing how far you do walk. I can't remember the totals on our visits to Disney, but we were stopping at the Clarion up near Wet n Wild and walked to Universal. So, on some days we actually clocked up over 12 miles! No wonder I lost weight!

I wore mine one day during our trip last spring. We had taken over 25,000 steps by mid-afternoon (like 2:30 or so). I don't remember the actual reading when I took it off that night

Wow! I could imagine. Just Christmas shopping in 1 say I can clock up to 7-10,000 steps. I would guess that most people walk a few miles!!

Yes, I have- anywhere from 6-12 miles/day depending on which park, and which day (mvmcp days were looong!). This time I started fastwalking 5 miles, 3-4 times/wk a couple months ahead of our trip to "prepare" my feet and legs. Added bonus= I'm losing weight too! Now maybe I can keep up better with my kids!

Sounds like a plan! My feet are always killing me when I get back. I may have to buy some cushy insoles for my sneakers!

Get some Crocs and your feet won't hurt again. My feet were always killing me after a couple days. In May I wore my Crocs every day for eight days and my feet never did hurt. When I got home, I put on some other shoes and could barely get them on. My feet were so swollen from the trip and I wasn't even aware of it. I'll never go without the Crocs again.

They are shoes that at first seem very ugly but they grow on you! If you do a search on this forum you will see many threads regarding them. You can find them at many department stores including Dillards and many Hallmark stores sell them now too. Many malls have kiosks selling them. I am sure they have a website. I love mine and wear them often!
