"...when your phone tells you you didn't do your 10000 steps?"

Disappointed sometimes but I tend to average it out against the other days of the week and not feel so bad.

10 000 is no hard number to crack. ( as long as I make it routine i.e. I walk to the shops and back. I walk to the train station and back. That's 10,000 without even walking if you know what I mean )

No, I see it as a motivator to be better tomorrow.

Nope. I don't feel guilty but I do find that now I don't work it's far easier to walk more.

My dad finds the whole counting steps thing hilarious. He simply can't understand why anybody wants or needs to know how many steps they've taken or how far they've walked.

No but my boss in my previous job used to make me feel very guilty. She would stroll i to the office at 11.30am saying she had already done 18k steps and would say "how many have you done today?"

What she forgot was I'd been sat at my desk for 3 solid hours working. It's so easy to do a lot of steps if you don't have to be at work.

I had a colleague who once proudly told everyone that while she never managed a thousand steps a day most days she was managing six or seven hundred and that was close enough. She refused to believe it was ten thousand steps a day and refused to believe it was something most people did!

My watch is set to 6000 which I always seem to do about half three every weekday. I should really up it.

I'm on day 143 of my 10k minimum steps streak.

I like the incentive of not breaking my streak, although I wouldn't feel guilty of I did..... I'd be bloody fuming!!

No, my 16000 to 18000 steps on my workdays make up for the shortfall when I am on days off

I feel relieved. It means I've had a day where I've not had to do much walking which is always lovely.

25,000 is my daily average atm and it's exhausting.

I manage to do 14 to 16000 steps at work everyday, probably why I am so slim

It is just an arbitrary number though.

Apparently the first fitness tracker was developed years ago in Japan and the name of it loosely translated to "10,000 step man". Hence, 10k steps became synonymous with

health

Same with the 5 a day thing.

If you're moving, you're improving.

Targets are good, but arbitrary recommendations should be taken with a pinch of salt.

I like my pinch with nachos.

Exactly. My step target was set for me by a qualified professional, and was based on my abilities and fitness goals at the time.

Is it 10k? No.

Is it realistic? Yes.

Do I regularly meet it? ...Shut up.

Lol.

Podcasts, music, without these I find walking too hard.

Keep getting in touch with nature, talking to people.

Piss off, leave me alone, I only want to communicate with memes that barely disguise my ambivalence towards modern life.
