Did you know that the 10,000 steps goal comes from an old japanese marketing campaign and has no basis in science?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, amazing!

What would you recommend?

I’m more interested in learning and trying things than being right.

nostr:npub16wy27uj48r82gskq48uvxku8076h0y9xcngsgry7j4yn6zxmnznqu4hy6a was the person that first told me about this.

I knew it wasn’t scientific, but not about the Japanese marketing part. I still think it’s a useful heuristic to get yourself to move more, park a little further away, etc. Most exercise advice has zero scientific basis. Probably much of it is completely fraudulent.
