Ngaba uyazi ukuba mangaphi amanyathelo othabathayo ngosuku? Kude kwiveki ephelileyo bendingenalo nofifi. Into endiyaziyo kukuba iAmerican Heart Association icebisa ukuba wonke umntu kufuneka ajolise kumanyathelo ayi-10 000 (malunga neekhilomitha ezintlanu) ngemini yempilo iyonke kunye nokunciphisa umngcipheko wesifo sentliziyo.

Ndikhumbula iminyaka eliqela eyadlulayo ndifumana i-pedometer yexabiso eliphantsi ekucingelwa ukuba ilandelele amanyathelo am, kodwa ibingaxhomekeki kakhulu. Ukuba ndibaleke amanyathelo ambalwa, amanani aya kubhalisa amanyathelo angama-20 kwilinye lam. Ndiyeke ukulandela umkhondo wenyathelo emva kosuku okanye ezimbini. Oko kukuthi, kude kube yiveki ephelileyo.

Ngexesha leseshoni yam yokugqibela kunye nomqeqeshi wobomi bam, uKate Larsen, besithetha ngomthambo wam-njengoko usenokuba ukhe wafunda kwizithuba zangaphambili, ndinobunzima bokunciphisa umzimba. Undibonise uFitbit wakhe kwaye wandixelela zonke izinto ezintle ngayo. Ilandelela amanyathelo akho, iinqwelomoya, izinyuko, iikhalori, imayile, kunye neendlela zokulala, kwaye inentyatyambo encinci ekhula emini njengophawu lomsebenzi wosuku. Elona candelo lilungileyo lilanda yonke into ekwi-Intanethi ukuze inkqubela-phambili ijongwe ngokuhamba kwexesha.

Kwiveki kamva, ngenjikalanga yangoLwesihlanu, iFitbit One yafakwa kwipokotho yejean yam. Ndijonge phambili kukuhlangabezana nenjongo yam yemihla ngemihla ye-10,0000 amanyathelo. Ngaba kunokuba nzima kangakanani?

Kodwa kungaphelanga neeyure ezimbini ndiye ndaqonda ukuba phakathi kwekhompyuter yam kunye nexesha lokuqhuba (ukuya nokubuya esikolweni sabantwana), ndinokuba nexesha elinzima kakhulu lokuhlangana nesiqingatha seenjongo zam. Bendinyanisile. Isiqingatha semihla ndihamba kuphela ngamanyathelo angama-3,814. Eyona nto imbi nangakumbi: Inqanaba lam lomsebenzi lijongwa phantse njengeepesenti ezingama-80.

Ngosuku olulandelayo ibinguMgqibelo, kwaye kuba ndingasebenzi ngeempelaveki, bendisazi ukuba ndinokuwonyusa ngokulula amanyathelo am. Ndaya kwiklasi yeyoga, ndenza umsebenzi wasekhaya wempelaveki, kwaye usapho lwam laya kudla isidlo sangokuhlwa. Into eyothusayo: Usuku lwam olupheleleyo lwaluphantse lufane nesiqingatha sosuku lwangaphambili: 3,891. Yitsho ntoni?!

Ndityumke. Ngaba oku kungacacisa ukuba kutheni ndinganciphisi ubunzima? Kuba ndingasebenzi?

NgeCawa bendisemishini. Ndinxibe iimpahla zam ezifudumeleyo zasebusika zokubaleka, ukujonga ukubetha kwentliziyo, uFitbit, kunye nomnqwazi onoboya. Umoya obandayo wabetha ebusweni bam mzuzu ndiphuma ngomnyango, kodwa ezam izizathu zemantra zeza engqondweni njengoko ndenza indlela yam yokuhla kwindlela yokunyuka ndaza ndanyuka kwinqanaba lesitrato.

Ummandla wam ufumene ikhephu kobu busika kwaye bekukho umkhenkce omninzi. Ndenze konke okusemandleni am ukunqanda amabala amdaka, ukuhamba nokubaleka njengoko kuvunyelwe, kwaye ndizifumene ndithatha indlela endingazange ndayenza ngaphambili ngenxa yoko andiqinisekanga ngomgama wam. Ndigoduke emva kwe25minutes besendingxamele ukubona iinumber zam. Iziphumo zaba ngamanyathelo ali-1,800.Kuba lamanyathelo angama-2,000 alingana neemayile ezi-2, ndonwabile ukubona ukutsiba kwinkqubela phambili yam. Kodwa eyona nto yayimangalisa ngakumbi kukuba iinduli endandizinyuka ngexesha lokuphuma kwam zazilingana nezinyuko ezili-12!

Ngaba ndifikelele kumanqaku wam ayi-10 000 osuku? Hayi. Ukuphela kosuku bendihamba / ndibaleke amanyathelo angama-7 221, ndakhwela imigangatho eli-14, ndahamba iimayile eziyi-3.28.

Njengoko ndisebenza indlela yam yokufikelela kumanyathelo ayi-10,000, ndithathe isigqibo sokukhuphisana nam kwaye ndonyuse amanyathelo am yonke imihla, nokuba oko kuthetha ukuhamba endaweni. Namhlanje injongo yam ngamanyathelo angama-8,000 kwaye ndicinga ukuba enye i-jaunt ngaphandle ingandinceda ukuba ndifike apho.

Ufumana njani amanyathelo akho yonke imihla? Nceda wabelane ngeemfihlo zakho!
