Well, I don't really really follow a 10k guideline because of anyone's advice. It is just a round number and a fair gauge of how much activity I've done. My rough guideline is this: <2k means I basically didn't leave the house all day ~5-7k means I went on a few short walks ~10-12k means I went on at least one pretty long walk and probably some short walks too ~15-20k (which is rare) means I really walked a lot- like walking around NYC all day long, which I haven't done in a very long time I looked it up and some people say 10-18k. That’s hell of a lot for most people. btw done 12577 so far today Yeah 18k on a normal day would be unusual- it would require literally hours of walking which would be impossible to do if you were working...

I think you are going to "take the prize" for the day. I am around 5k steps now and I seriously doubt I am going to get up to 10k today, much less 12k! I think this 10k thing is nonsense. I bet a large number of people only do 5-6k. Retired people probably do less That’s me….except for today…8360 steps. Mainly because today, we did a Costco run, a grocery run, then a trip to Lowes and a trip to Rona. I was sitting at 6500 after those errands. Once the stumper guy left, I moved wheelbarrows full of dirt around in the garden as his machine left huge 18” deep ruts as well as huge 18” mounds of dirt.

Well I'm dead last today with 6886 steps But right now with the walking and garden work, I’m dying. Achilles are sore and back is killing me.

Well I'm dead last today with 6886 steps In the house I keep forgetting to carry my phone around, so I often miss a lot, but never mind, I've done 134 today

My phone says 1426 steps but I don’t normally carry my phone while playing golf. It’s probably another 3500-4000 more.

Only 2013 yesterday and don't expect much more today as it's pouring down and I'm a fair weather walker

No idea what’s in store for today as it’s been raining this morning. However, my lower legs and ankles are extremely sore as well as my back and shoulders.…a bit too much strenuous work a couple of days ago combined with a golf game yesterday, my body is trying to tell me something.

Just totally bagged right now….we planted a few trees late this morning in the heat and humidity…I went through 2 bottles of water and a bottle of Gatorade to rehydrate. After my shower, I had an iced coffee as I was getting a headache. Only did 4315 steps but like I said, I’m bagged.

2615 steps today but I left my phone in the car when we went to the cemetery this morning. You can probably add another 1500 to that number.

Pretty light on the steps myself today. Maybe I can get out for a walk after dinner but I had a really long meeting today so not much opportunity to get outside
