Two steps forward, one step back, is still one step forward!

Only 376,382 steps to go until I feel happy enough to go out for dinner.

Well Google says average steps a year is around 75k which seems low to me... anyway that's only 5 years till you can go out. If you break that down it's only 60 months..... also ubereats exists lol

No, average miles walked in a lifetime is 75k. Average steps a year is just under 2.5mil.

That's why I put seems a lil low.. I did not fact check my fact check. Classic rookie mistake

My job requires a lot of walking. 30k steps minimum a day. Honestly I've never felt better.

I do just over 8k a day walking to and from work 5 days a week and I'm on my feet all day while I'm at work.... Makes me wonder how many I really do in a work day 🤔

It's worth getting a step counter!

Most phones have a built in counter these days, maybe not super-accurate but gives you an eatimation.

A healthy amount should be 5-10k a day so that's already 3 million steps a year if you're proactive about it.

I think google is obviously counting people that hardly reach a thousand a day.

This has more to it than sounds. Resting a bit is often known to increase efficiency in the long run.

I've definitely noticed this with learning languages. Studying relentlessly means I'll have to unlearn more bad habits later. (Human, not computer, languages.)

Same with programming! Breaks help with understanding what you're doing no matter what you're learning. Also, sleep!

It’s true! And sometimes it’s 4 steps back, 2 steps forward , 2 steps back, 5 steps forward.

It’s easy to focus on the backtracking because it sucks! But if one just keeps at it and trying as hard as they can, the steps forward are guaranteed
