Eugen RochkoDo people really just casually hit 10.000 steps in a day?
Dag Ågren ↙︎↙︎↙︎@Gargron No.
(The "10000 steps" concept apparently happened 100% because the Japanese character for 10000 looks a little bit like a walking person.)
@WAHa_06x36 You've got to be kidding me
muraii@WAHa_06x36 @Gargron That says the marketing company in the ‘60s thought 10K was a healthy number and so chose it as part of their branding.
But I’m actually happy to hear about cracks in the foundations of the 10K hegemony.

Alex@Gargron I can hit it if I've been out and about shopping or walked to my co-working space and back but in these lockdown times I'm lucky if a day goes over 3000 steps.
Milan@Gargron a bit over 8k is pretty normal for me, on more busy days, its usually between 10k-14k
@milan Is it because you live out in the wild somewhere?
@Gargron feeding multiple groups of chickens, collecting eggs everywhere daily, making chickenfood, closing them in the evening, this kind of stuff is daily routine and usually results in 8k-9k... visiting the sheeps or other things would easily result in more...
josef@Gargron between about 2017-2018 i got 12,000 steps every single day in a pretty much continuous streak. then that stopped for some reason and then of course i bet this year ive done about 10,000 steps in total
Alex Cleac@Gargron I can hit 10k steps daily whenever I go to the office. To achieve this on WHF days, I need to get outside and walk for ~2 hours in the evening.
ratiu 💛 💙@Gargron
I walk 15000-2000 steps. and it makes me happy. especially, when i don't listen to music or do something else during that. it's like a meditation

@Gargron with the work I've got? Easily 😎
Oliver@@Gargron Far more than 10k per day. Get yourself a lively dog ;-)
äymm 
@Gargron I usually do 8-10k steps a day, mostly because I enjoy taking a walk during my lunch break
Joe 
unti1x@Gargron some people do 8000 steps just by standing at the counter
waste of space
Reinder Dijkhuis@Gargron Yeah, I've had days where all I needed to do was walk my dogs. I've upped my target to 14,000 and that's a lot harder to reach consistently.
@Gargron Right now it's almost midnight here and I'm 300 steps removed from 10,000 despite only having one short-ish walk with the dogs. I skipped walks #2 and #3 due to the heat. The rest of the steps were all in the house while working from home.
dorin@Gargron apps don't lie! 👀
SM@Gargron Day Overenthusiastic trackers like mine add a few steps even if I fidget while sitting.
ipofanes@Gargron (while sitting in a restaurant watching the waiters) yes, yes some do
@ipofanes The waiters don't do it casually though, they walk as part of their job
Jon Knapp 🐻🏴☠️🄯@Gargron that's an awfully high level of precision 🤔
Znaiz@Gargron I do. My average mark is about 12.000 but if I go out for a walk with the dog I easily go further
Account: Stuff@Gargron Yes, 10k is easy even for a programmer. Just needs a short stroll before bed. Those who break 20k need to do something specifically to make it happen (unless they work on their feet - I have a friend who works at warehouse for UPS, he throws up to 17,000 shipping boxes during his shift at peak times).
@stuff Yo, don't I know you? From way back in the blogging days?
@Gargron I'm sorry, I thought I'd just share my experience about step counts. I am prone to the lack of exercise. I do have a blog, but that one is mostly about Linux, so I dunno, it may be other Peter Zaitcev you know, he's big in database community (especially MySQL).
@stuff It wasn't programming-related, I remember a Zaitcev blogger with a cowboy hat on the profile picture, it was probably around 2008-2009
@Gargron I'm attaching 2 of mine that I use everywhere except this account (long story), the 2003 and 2016 versions.
@stuff Yep, I remember that first one. You were adjacent to the anime blogging sphere, if not right inside it, right? I had a blog of my own back then.
muppeth@Gargron I do 10k steps a day usually by 15:00 and sometimes earlier, but I'm building a house so thats probably why. I dumped the goal to 25k. We'll see if I manage to hit that.
ajft@Gargron used to have my daily fitbit target at 12,000 and hovered about 2-3 days a week above it, 5-4 days below. Since slothdown I've been lucky to hit 6,000
