10K Steps is Hard to Do Have you heard the story that you should walk 10 thousand steps a day? It is a mantra at many of the healthcare facilities I work at. I went out and got a pedometer - a wonderful tool for counting steps. It can also be used as a lie detector. It is a lie that doing 10 thousand steps a day is easy. 100 steps a day is easy, 10 thousand is next to impossible unless you really like exercise. 10 thousand steps is about 7km which is not a bad distance for a days walking - that is if you have all day to do it in!! I have adjusted my thinking to doing 5 thousand a day and any extra steps are a bonus. As of now I am upto 7253 steps which is quite a good day. A bad day is 300 steps where I move from my armchair to get a beer or coffee and back again. Not a hard cardio-vascular conditioning workout!! Still if you can regularly do 10K steps a day, then you are wonderful. In the words of Garfield, "If I was any more relaxed I would slip into a coma".
