Before I knew that 10,000 step thing was just a pedometer marketing thing—that’s 5 miles!—I thought it was a kind of crazy target. Because I wasn’t sure how people who didn’t take intentional walks, commute on foot and/or walk constantly at work could reasonably hit it.
Anyway, what’s your step count in a typical day?

These were my totals yesterday—pretty typical for me. But I know I’m unusually active: pacing on the phone, taking long daily constitutionals and preferring to walk if I can get somewhere without driving. It’s as much for my mental health as anything—clears my head, helps me think, etc—and also something I just enjoy doing. And I have available HOURS every day to do it. So, I don’t give myself any extra points for it haha.
