I make every attempt to get at least 7,000 steps daily. I prefer walking and hiking and have some favorite trails not far from me, it's just that right now it's hunting season so I stay away. I have a bright security vest, but I'm still uncomfortable going out in those areas until the end of January.

Making the efforts is all that matters and you can't do it without being consistent at it. I've even considered walking to be a better way of exercising than jogging, for example.
