Is walking 10k steps a day a meme ?

Are you starting that shit tomorrow as well, OP?

No but its better to not do it at once but on intervals for examples every hour or something, I walk for 5 minutes every 30 minutes and it is great. You start to get really happy and it is proven that it helps with mood and blood flow but also with the brain, you can google it yourself

Eh I work retail I'll do that in a shift.

There's nothing magical about 10k, but if it helps the normies move more who cares

It's a good start for people, and it's a lot better than doing nothing.

Have you ever actually used a tracker to count your steps in a shift

Not the best admittedly but I wear a Gear s3. I work 8 hour shifts doing merchandising. Literally pulling price tags and getting shit to and from the warehouse all day

Even when I work customer service I'll do that. Eventually I'll get bored/tired of dealing with people so I'll either go to the bathroom to check my phone or find some excuse to downstock or run to the warehouse for something.

I do that twice a week inadvertently
Uni + walking to gym
It's good but not great either. I'd rather do medium intensity cardio for 20 minutes

Wow, this is a thing? I got a FitBit Flex and set 10K steps as my goal. I get about a third of the way just turning on the sprinklers and watering plants.

No idea what you're talking about, literally first time posting on /fit/

I work 12h shifts as office worker, I was looking for ways to increase activity without sweating like a pig during my shifts. Walking seemed like a good idea, and I'm trying to hit 10k steps everyday. Before that I was doing 2-3k daily or even less during days I don't work.

>>42728885
Why would you walk when you can run 10k steps in thrice as quick time.

>>42728982
He's right though. I counted my steps at work last summer and always got over 10,000
