10,000 steps

 Hi:

Well, it isn't that hard to walk 10,000 steps a day.  It's around 4.5 to 5 miles, depending on your step size.  I received a pedometer for Christmas and have walked  around 7,500 or more most days in January.  If I exercise or specifically go for a walk it's easy to go to 12,000 or 16,000 steps.  Even serious housework requires quite a lot of steps, especially if you have stairs, as I do.  At work I try to walk up to the 7th floor  2 or 3 times a day. 

If you want to start exercising, but aren't ready for the gym, a $16.00 pedometer can do the trick.
