So I obviously have heard about this idea of getting so many steps in per day. I am not an exerciser. I am trying to get a walk in every day but its hard and only managing to do it at 9pm at night so coming back in the dark and not sure how this will be maintained as the nights draw in later
However, having now got one of these little watches, its easy to become a bit fascinated with all the steps
Turns out I may have been doing more steps than I thought I was, I thought I would only have been doing around 500 or so a day without a walk. But I do much more than that, so thats reassuring
My target is 6k a day, thats because the watch has told me this. I can usually get this in a 3 mile walk and then about 2k more on top for the rest of the day.
But I know people go on about doing 10k a day
Where did that recommendation come from and why? I tried googling it but couldnt really see where it came from
