Benefits of step counting:
As well as doing DediKate workouts, you will track your daily steps and have a daily step goal! Here are some of the benefits:
🚶🏽♀️A great way to build healthy habits in your life such as parking further away, taking the stairs, walking while waiting.
🚶🏽♀Easy to get started, you’re doing it anyway! Focus on consistency first before the intensity and then the habit will come.
🚶🏽♀️Motivating seeing your daily steps
🚶🏽♀️Holds you accountable - If you choose to share your steps and goals, this allows you to support and receive support from the DediKate community!
🚶🏽♀️Reminds you of your progress - A reminder helps to increase the number of steps you do each day. For example, you could progressively add 100 steps each day! This also helps to see how far you’ve come! 🎉
🚶🏽♀️Easy to track your progress and therefore make adjustments where needed to avoid a fitness plateau.
🚶🏽♀️Helps to monitor other health goals such as general fitness, mood, weight management, quality of your sleep, stress and mental health.
🚶🏽♀️Complements DediKate workouts by aiding in recovery as well as increasing your cardiovascular physical fitness.
HOW TO TRACK YOUR STEPS:
If you don't have a fitness watch to track your steps, you can also use your phone!
iPhone: The Apple Health app gathers health data from your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and apps you already use, so you can view all of your progress in one convenient place.
Android: When you open the Google Fit app, you'll find your fitness activities at the top of the screen. This summary includes estimates of active minutes, steps you've taken, calories you've burned, and your last workout.
What each number of steps equates to:
- Approx 4300 steps = 3km
- Approx 5700 steps = 4km
- Approx 7100 steps = 5km
- Approx 10,000 steps = 7km
- Approx 14,300 steps = 10km
- Approx 17200 steps = 12km
- Approx 20000 steps = 14km

Rosie Hollands
"I have been a DediKate member for years, with different levels of commitment as time has gone on, but I love that I continue to get motivational emails and challenges to uplift me when I am in a funk. We had a miscarriage in May and it hit us hard mentally. I am looking forward DediKate being my reset, for new habits, and for reconnecting with likeminded people, and to fall back in love with myself."

“There’s so many things I can think of that are amazing about DediKate. The supportive community, the endless choice of workouts at your fingertips, the trainers and their down-to-earth real life vibes (cats, kids, phone calls, impromptu guests 🤣).

"I joined DediKate during Move for Mental Health week which gave me the motivation to get back in to exercise and has transformed my mental health!!
I love how you can pick and chose different workouts if you need a quick pick me up or a long relaxing session."

Sarah Mackay
"I have been a DediKate member for a while now, and as the weather is getting warmer I'm super excited to get involved in the Summer Challenge. I'm particularly excited for the chance to test and monitor my fitness through the challenge. It can be hard to stay motivated when the weather starts to hit the extremes but I really think being involved in the Summer Challenge will help keep me excited, motivated and accountable"

“I absolutely love DediKate and all it has to offer in terms of variety and support. The fact that it fits in around my timetable, wherever I am and whatever I am doing is really appealing and keeps me consistent!”

Brooke Carrington
“I’ve been a DediKate member for almost 6 months and haven’t looked back. I am travelling Australia with very little fitness equipment. I didn’t think the variety and effectiveness of one platform was possible but it totally is with DediKate. I know the trainers and online community will encourage, motivate and inspire me to tackle the challenge. Let’s do this!”

Anna Winter
"I have been a DediKate member for a few years. I work in the construction industry where we like so many are time poor, I love that DediKate can be completed anywhere and in as little as 10min. It is a game changer with my energy levels, mindset and daily productivity. I’m looking forward to committing to a set challenge,hoping a few friends will join me too!"

Denise Wolsey
"I’m in my mid 50’s and until 3 years ago although I walked lots I’d never participated in any other form of exercise. I remember seeing a Dedikate ad and messaging my daughter to ask if she thought I was too old to start, without her encouragement I would never have signed up but it’s the BEST thing I have ever done for myself in years. 3 years on a Dedikate workout is how I start most days. I am stronger, more flexible and just feel so much better about my body and my fitness. I love the choice Dedikate has to offer, no matter how I’m feeling or where I am I can always find a workout that fits my mood or the situation."
