walking 10,000 steps a day

Over exactly seven days I managed to get the overall total down to 79000, so that’s an average of only 11287 steps per day. If I did any less than this I would fail to earn a living or buy food.
conclusion: If I wanted to get fitter by walking more I would have to adopt a target like “walk 15000 steps a day” but I’m not at all convinced that walking more is the answer for me. Walking the same number of steps only faster would seem a better one, but the pedometer doesn’t measure speed or effort, only the number of movements. I think I’ll pass it on to somebody else for a bit.
