Horray! Worked out how to upload pictures. So here is us walking with our dogs, or one dog while we were out walking 10,000 steps a day minimum

He'd take the entire tree home if we let him!

Don’t wear yourself out as between 4,500 and 8,000 is now the walking/steps goal. Apparently the 10,000 steps goal originated from a clever marketing ploy by a Japanese company trying to sell pedometers in the wake of the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games.
At that time, there was an increased focus on fitness in the host nation and firms had tried to capitalise on the craze surrounding the Games. So it seems the 10,000 step information was shared a bit like Chinese Whispers. Though you might be interested. 🤪😂

Thanks - I didn't know about that, but I just record the amount of walking we do anyway, two dogs three daily walks - (shorter now they are older) the shopping,the chores, daily life - it all adds up to over 10,000 a day sometimes up to 20,000 qute naturally.
