夏は暑くて歩けませんでしたが、今はせいぜい歩いています
今年の夏は、とても暑かったので、外を歩くと危険だろうと思う日もありました。
iPhoneの歩数計を見ると、７月は一日平均６千歩でしたが８月は５３百歩、９月は５５百歩でした。
１０月は６１百歩、１１月は６４百歩と、歩く時間が増えてきました。
年間で見ると、去年までの３年間、特に去年は歩数が減っています。在宅勤務が多かったせいでしょう。
来年の夏が今年ほど暑くなければ、「あの病気」の流行り出す前の２０１９年の、通勤していた頃の歩数に近づくかもしれません。
厚生労働省の専門家検討会は27日、健康づくりのために推奨される身体活動・運動の目安となるガイド案をまとめた。（中略）歩行やそれと同じ程度の活動について、成人は「1日60分（1日約8千歩）以上」、高齢者は「1日40分（1日約6千歩）以上」を推奨する。歩行以外には、卓球やテニス、水泳などの様々なスポーツのほか、階段の昇降や風呂掃除といった日常生活の動きも例示した。
高齢者になりたての私は、厚生労働省の推奨目標の６千歩を達成しています。家の中をうろうろする分を合わせると、多分７千歩にはなっているでしょう。
８千歩という値について、前に下の記事を書いていました。厚生労働省の専門家も、この研究を参考にしたのかもしれません。
というわけで、歩ける間はできるだけ歩きたいです。しかし、近くの道は歩いてもあまり面白い場所がないのが残念です。それに自転車に気をつけないといけません。
足底筋膜炎になったこともあります。幸いこの時はしばらくしたら治りました。
犬が脱糞する光景を目撃してしまうこともありました。このときは飼い主がタオルのようなもので犬の尻をぬぐっていました。私が散歩から戻ってきたらフンは片付けられていました。
近くに、手軽に運動できるジムがいくつかあります（コンビニジムと言うらしい）。チョコザップで月額約３千円なので、従来型のジムよりは安いし、利用者も多いのでしょう。
それでも年金生活者の私にとっては高額なので、歩くのが一番いいです。
土のある所では時々軽く走ったりしますが、全力疾走はしません。できるかどうか自信がないのです。
階段を上るのも最近は億劫に感じます。ラッシュ時に、駅の階段を上がると、周りのペースに合わせるのがしんどい時もあります。
意識しないとすり足になります。私のスニーカーの底を見ると、左側の方が右側よりもすり減っているので、バランスが悪いのでしょう。
In the summer it was too hot to walk, but now I walk at most.
This summer it was so hot that there were days when I thought it would be dangerous to walk outside.
Looking at my iPhone's pedometer, I averaged 6,000 steps per day in July, 5300 steps in August, and 5500 steps in September. The amount of time I spend walking has increased, taking 6100 steps in October and 6400 steps in November.
Looking at the number of steps per year, the number of steps has decreased over the past three years, especially last year. Probably because I worked from home a lot.
If next summer isn't as hot as this year, the number of steps I took on my commute to work in 2019, before the outbreak of that disease, may come close.
On the 27th, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's expert review committee compiled a draft guideline for recommended physical activity and exercise for health promotion. (omitted)
When it comes to walking and similar activities, the recommendation is for adults to spend at least 60 minutes a day (approximately 8,000 steps a day) and for elderly people to spend at least 40 minutes a day (approximately 6,000 steps a day). In addition to walking, various sports such as table tennis, tennis, and swimming were also illustrated, as well as movements in daily life such as going up and down stairs and cleaning the bathroom.
As a newly elderly person, I have achieved the recommended goal of 6,000 steps by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Including walking around the house, I probably took about 7,000 steps.
I previously wrote this article about the value of 8,000 steps. Experts at the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare may also have referred to this study.
So, I want to walk as much as possible while I can. However, it is a pity that there are not many interesting places to walk on the nearby roads. Also, you have to be careful about bicycles.
I have also had plantar fasciitis. Fortunately, this time it healed after a while.
I even witnessed a dog defecating. At this time, the owner was wiping the dog's butt with something like a towel. When I came back, the feces had been cleaned up.
There are several gyms nearby (I hear they're called convenient gyms) where you can exercise easily. ChocoZap costs about 3,000 yen per month, so it's cheaper than a traditional gym and probably has more users. Still, it's expensive for me as a pensioner, so walking is the best option.
I sometimes run lightly in areas with dirt, but I don't sprint at full speed. I'm not sure if I can do it. These days, even climbing the stairs requires effort. When going up the stairs at a station during rush hours, it can be difficult to keep up with the pace of those around me.
I have a habit of dragging my feet when I'm not consciously aware of it. When I look at the bottom of my sneakers, the left side is more worn than the right side, so I guess the balance is off.
