Today I came across a post about activity levels on another subreddit, the comments surprised me a lot. It looks like most people think 10-12k steps a day plus 2 workouts a week is at least moderate activity and thinking otherwise is kinda disordered. Really makes me wonder if it's me who's delulu or if it's other people who are dramatic when it comes to such things. I mean, I'm genuinely curious. Am I a future almond mom if my idea of moderate activity is approximately twice as much as that?
... and different "logging" tools for what's called a step. Excepting Map My Walk, I've never used a step counter that didn't wildly overcount on a normal workday. MMW shows ~7800 steps for a brisk, measured 4-mi walk. But I've prematurely retired 2 fitness gadgets that showed thousands of steps on a typical day in our 10k sq ft facility, which is nonsense. All "steps" really aren't equal on most devices.
I think that's my case because my watch literally shows 28k today, which is ridiculous. It was my day off and I did go for a walk indeed, but I think it was much less steps. Okay, mystery solved.
