Did you know the goal of 10,000 steps a day comes from a marketing campaign? Science finds that 7,000 to 9,000 steps a day bring optimal benefits. medicalnewstoday.com/articles/do-yo…
@KHayhoe It was all a lie created by the Big Shoe industry. 🤔
@KHayhoe I was blown away when I learned that. Blessings, my friend.
@KHayhoe The kanji character for 10,000 (万) looks like a man walking.
@KHayhoe So what! I’m sticking to to 10,000! there nothing wrong with doing 10,000, does the science says it is bad? We all like round numbers.
@KHayhoe @fascinatorfun ‘Get Brexit done!’ was also a marketing campaign. That was bollocks too.
@KHayhoe Health benefits start at 2,500 - obviously that's better than none at all. 8,000 is good. 10,000 is better.
@KHayhoe Goody! I set a target of 8,000 a while ago.
@KHayhoe I’m intrigued that the estimate from science is reasonably close to the ad version
@KHayhoe The ideal number of Steps is... ...5, 6, 7, 8.
