[quote=Anonymous]Worm from home, I try to get to 15k every day; I think of 10k as bare minimum: I walk for about an hour in the morning - that usually gets me to 6k-ish steps. I try to do 15 minutes of aerobics or gardening before I shower. That usually gets me to about 9500.

Walking around the house during the day would easily get me to 10k from there. (The last 5k is usually another walk after work, if we're not doing anything else at night.) DINKs (though I am recently laid off so I guess it's a SINK situation right now, good times) - not having kids means more flexibility in the schedule.

I walk the dog - but she doesn't love walking so that doesn't get me up by much! Also agree with parking as far as possible from store doorways and going up the stairs instead of the elevator.

I love to walk, so basically the only times I don't get enough steps are days I just can't - too busy; sick; that sort of thing. It's a great pleasure in life to be able to walk this much, for me.

The TL;DR is if you want to get to 10k you have to be pretty mindful of how much movement you're actually getting in a day for a while. Be vigilant about checking and topping up. Then you'll learn what it takes for you, and it won't take so much effort.[/quote]
