ten thousand steps a day

[verong]

how far should we walk per day? Is it really ten thousand steps?

That's what I keep reading recently. Apparently, it's about five miles.

I've read it everywhere too. I got a pedometer for Christmas so I've recently got it out of it's box and have been aiming for ten thousand (managing it 4-5 days a week) - it's knackering! It only works out at 4.2 miles a day for me though, cos I'm a shortarse!

Only if you believe the interfering nannying Nanny-State busybodies and do-gooders who are hell-bent on shoving a load of political correctness down our throats.

(Is this enough cliches?)
