YayaverNo, you cannot walk 10,000 steps daily, get 8 hours of sleep, cook every night, clean every day, take care of a family, make time for your own hobbies, and still be productive at work every day. This is not just propaganda, it is nonsense. Free yourself from it.
Furao Sentu@yayaver well, yeah, obviously, but everyone wants me to do just all of those things. I have a hard time prioritizing one over the others. I heard the 10k steps are not as important as it's been advertized, but I suspect Netflix being behind that smear campaign. They already stated that their biggest competitor is 'sleep', their second biggest might just be 'going for a stroll', y'know!
Corinna Baldauf (she/her)@_ @yayaver The latest science says that 6000 steps/day is enough. After that the benefits flatten out. For me 6000 steps = 1 hour of walking which is much more doable for me than 10k steps.
Sorry, can't find my scource for this (and it would likely be in German 🤠)
PS: The 10k steps did not originate from science but from a Japanese company that sold a step tracker back in the... 70s(?)
@CorinnaBaldauf @yayaver there are 3600 seconds in an hour. 6000 steps in one hour is quite sporty. That's not just walking about, that's the actual sport «walking» for an entire hour. Even with jogging, you don’t get those 6k steps inside that one hour.
@_ @yayaver Hm, I blindly trust my iPhone step counter. I don't have any other tracker.
But AFAIK I take 10mins to walk a kilometer. I just converted this to "number of steps" on a random site on the internet and it says with my height and avg walking speed: 1km = 1400 steps.
That would make it even more than 6k steps in an hour.
@CorinnaBaldauf @yayaver I thought it was much, but I am not the one with the empirical data, now. 10000 steps an hour it is, then. ✅
