| Do they still recommend 10,000 a day? Do you hit it? I average around 15,000 a day. My body feels off when I don’t hit at least 10,000. |

| I was hitting around 15k too but then I suffered lateral femoral cutaneous nerve syndrome and it hurts to walk. So I'm way down in my step count. I do a lot of stretching now to try to alleviate the pain, which keeps me awake at night. Ugh. |

| Around 6000 if I’m able to walk my scurvy dog far, then 10,000 |

An average of 20k a day.
My legs and feet are sore. I am doing it for health and wellness reasons. |

I switched my Garmin to miles - I try to get 4 miles a day and that’s with an intentional 3 mile fitness walk 3-4 days a week.
Much more than this and I get minor hip pain that is annoying more than anything. I’m 55, menopausal, osteoporosis but fit. |

Op - I have a dog and young kids. Walk the dog 3-4 miles a day. |

| My target is 9K and it’s hit or miss if I get it. Last week I got it 4/7 days. If I run on the treadmill and / or go for a walk while at work I hit it, otherwise no. |

Some big numbers in here! I run about 1200-1400 miles a year and still seem to only average 12k per day when calculated over a year evidently.
I think anywhere near 10k consistently is a good number. If you are literally just being normally mobile and walking, that can take a lot of time. |

| 10k. Ideally I go for a long walk during the day (before or after work). But mostly I mentally plan chunks of 2500 to hit by a certain time. |

| If I run that day 12-15k. If not sometimes as low as 8,000. I live in a very car centric area. I walk my dog but that’s about it on the walking. |
