10,000 per day is not science based. It was a marketing gimmick to sell pedometers.
I bought a cheap Amazfit from Amazon. It tracks lots of stuff but I only use the steps, heart rate monitor and sleep monitor.a friend of mine had one of those who helped me frame a truck stop one time we were areound 15k a day all inside a 8k sq' ft' building
Ouch!I was up to 10,000 after my heart surgery. Since then I have fallen way off to less than 5,000 but I have been nursing plantar faciates.
I try to avoid the life-sucking couch. Sitting destroys our health and fitness. Just look at Buddha.I think his is an apple watch or something. My hearing aids are supposed to track that stuff, but don't seem to be that accurate, and I just do my thing by keeping busy.
Moderating here and on Joey's other sites doesn't help me. I do sit a lot.I try to avoid the life-sucking couch. Sitting destroys our health and fitness. Just look at Buddha.

Sorry. Maybe get an adjustable desk.Moderating here and on Joey's other sites doesn't help me. I do sit a lot.
You can lose the weight and feel much, much better if you go on the carnivore diet. Then you can start walking.I would walk more and could lose some weight if my feet and knees felt better. My feet and knees would feel better if I would walk more and lose some weight. It's a vicious circle!
Walking is very good for the body.My wife does 10k per day. She lost 16lbs so far.
The X had some kind of a watch that monitored steps, sleep etc but it would beep in the middle of the night and wake me up. Finally told her to quit eating so much and get rid of that dang 'alarm clock'!I think his is an apple watch or something. My hearing aids are supposed to track that stuff, but don't seem to be that accurate, and I just do my thing by keeping busy.
I sit a lot too at times but in the past year I've been on my feet more than I ever have. Today I took a day off (it's also 104 outside) and went to eat Mexican food a bit ago lolModerating here and on Joey's other sites doesn't help me. I do sit a lot.
I lost 35 lbs before the X left but that took awhile then after she left and the eating in front of the TV stopped, I lost another 20 lbs. Feels good specially when I can wear clothes that were wasting in the closet.I would walk more and could lose some weight if my feet and knees felt better.
