First post today using the @actifit iPhone application and a vote for @actifit witness!
After a rather cutting comment on my recent utopian-io post, I have decided to fight fire with footsteps today and after locating and charging my aging (but still in pristine condition) Fit-bit Flex, and then installing both the app for the Flex, and the @actifit application, I set off on my feet to see if I could out-step the Lego guy from Oz - known as @michealb.
As you may know from previous content, I much prefer riding my bicycle as a form of exercise but today, the bike stayed locked away in the shed. In the past I'd jog or run most days, either outside, on a treadmill, or during a game of football., but sadly, has taken it's toll on my lower limbs and I now sport some of the most over-pronated feet you are ever likely to not see.
I've worn arch supports in anything other than trainers with a high arch insole for probably 20 years now, and although walking is OK, the additional impact stress while running means that my ankles and lower calf's get tight and start burning like mo-fo's when over-worked.
Alright, that's my excuses out of the way. Not that I needed any, right Michael? :D
Sadly, @utopian-io have suspended their witness in the last day or so, and so I have taken this opportunity to give a long overdue vote to @actifit, of whom I believe have potential to mass on-board users via the huge wearable fitness tracker market.
I would love to see something like Strava (https://www.strava.com/) appear on Steem (perhaps @actifit have plans already), where you can record your run or cycle, and compete against other users along known tracks and routes. When I spent a year cycling to work in Valencia, this app made the 13km, 7am ride far more bearable as I could monitor my progress, and check if any of my split times has made it on the leader-board for the day.
Alright, hopefully the post has arrived on the chain, and I can insert this text in quickly before anyone sees that I could not be arsed typing much on the phone :)
Cheers!

The car will likely reduce step count at times :)

Hey Asher! Nice @actifit post man! It's certainly a dapp i use a lot these days. Having a fitbit would likely really help improve the step count, been thinking about getting one too. I often either forget my phone or forget to turn on the actifit counter each day! #thestruggletostackisreal

Hey, Asher, Congratzzz on joining Actifit and on a great first report!
I endorse barefoot running and walking on grass, earth and sand. Even more effective if you set the intention that all aches and stress transfer down through your feet into the Earth for healing as you start and a couple times during your walk if you remember.
Do you walk in the sea water along the shore too? If not too cold this would add additional salt healing benefits also.
Whatever you do, have FUN. ;)

Cycling is much easier on the lower joints and I prefer it, but don't do it very much nowadays. Maybe I will get back to it!

Yes it is much better for those joints, but nothing like a walk/jog to burn some of that beer-weight off :D

There is a book called "Born To Run". In the book the author stresses very much on the notion that people, who are injured from running can benefit from barefoot running. You should someday try the barefoot running thing, it's really interesting and I think it really can help people heal their injuries.
Take Care :)

Thank you for this tip and book mention @ervinneb!
Today I walked barefoot along the seashore and although I can feel a slight strain/tiredness this evening, I think I will continue with this :)

I actually googled pickle-ball when the list was updated
It is something with paddles/rackets on a court ... the cousin of tennis and the like :)
Your post is perfect for actifit
I think a lot of us do this, post quickly before midnight then fix it after 😅
Especially those who rather not on their mobile if given a choice
Ok ok I confess, that’s me gahhh
So happy to see you here on @actifit

I learnt the hard way that I turn into a big fat zero past midnight ;p
And sometimes, it still happens because Life gets in the way
I set an alarm to remind me to post before midnight :D

Welcome to the @actifit community! Great to see you try it out! I think there are many opportunities for them to develop different ideas with the Dapp as more join and the power of community being available!

Welcome to actifit! I do believe it has enormous potential, too, and being a full fitness tracker seems to be a part of the plan! I've been an enthusiast since very early stages and they do seem to be evolving pretty well; as soon as they have gps integration, it's going to be awesome! :)

I suggest kinesiology tape for your pronated feet. It is pretty easy to find both the tape and video tutorials on how to do it. Combined with your renewed exercise, it helps develop the muscles that support the foot arch.
Enjoy actifit!

I really needed this tape 20/30 years ago! The option I was given back then was to break both my ankles and reset them - as a 6/7 year old, for some reason i chose not to take that option!
Thank you!
