Sometimes I think the 10,000 steps for health just translates to....

roughly 75-90 minutes people aren’t shoving bad food in their piehole.  

No wonder they lose weight...just replacing their evening cookies with walking.  

It’s not the actual walking, but replacement.

If one walks 5 miles a day but still eats an icky diet,

you’re only working on the fit portion. You’re still not healthy. 

 

We Can’t Out-Exercise Bad Diet. 

Exactly.  I know so many people who eat like carp everyday but are at the gym 1+ hours and then complain that they aren't losing weight, aren't getting in shape, scale isn't budging, etc.    When it is suggested they watch what they eat, they respond with "but I exercise over an hour a day."  SMH

I think the point is to set a goal. If your goal is 10K steps then good for you. If not, no biggie...just do what you can and keep moving. Moving is the goal.
