I wanted to enjoy these days off, but my legs are killing me! And they have been for the past several days now, right along with my back. Now thanks to the Poke Walker (yes I carry it almost everywhere!), I've been able to get an idea of the amount of walking I do at work.
Generally I take anywhere between 15,000-25,000 steps a day. I didn't think anything of this, but today I decided to get ahead and google the average number of steps a person takes daily and what did I find? For men the average number is about 7,200 steps a day and for the women, 5,210. According to the articles I've been reading about this, the amount of steps I'm taking pits me in the active/highly active range.
And I wondered why my legs are always killing me!
I suppose this should not come as a surprise, considering my work place expanded itself quite a bit recently. The walks from one end of the building to the other have gotten long! Its like traveling to another country sometimes! OK, that might be exaggerating the facts a little bit...
