How do you get 10,000 steps?

I think it's a troll butting in from the 9th hole sand trap.

That poster is getting driven around from hole to hole.

It's not that hard. I really don't understand how people have trouble getting 10k steps a day. My average is 12k.

For all those saying 3-4 miles is 10k, you must have extremely short strides. For me (5'7' and a fast walker, so stride is probably long most of the time), it takes me 5-6 miles to get to 10k.

I thought it was the opposite - fast walking (power walking) usually means short steps.

A lot is where you work or if you work. On days when I go to the office, I drive to my first floor office and basically sit for 8 hours. I don't leave for lunch. Then I drive to pick up DC #1 from after school activity, go home and start making dinner, eat, then drive DC #2 to practice. This is maybe 4K steps. I do usually go to the gym in the evening.

By contrast I always get 10K on weekends from running around, errands, cleaning, walks, etc.

DP. That’s the most effective way to do it, yes.

A lot depends on your lifestyle and work situation (ex: walking to/from public transportation versus living in a car dependent area) and house size and having a pet, etc etc.

This person is taking a cart golfing. Definitely not walking. I play 9 once a week walking and get 3 miles. Days I golf I get way over 10k.
