Do you need to do 10K steps per day?<p>I don&#x27;t think your average person is capable, let alone able to  set aside the time. Tools that confirm the minimum physical PT requirement in my view, is good. It will individualise the minimum requirement.<p>I do above and below, 10km&#x2F;day, 6 days per week, year in, year out. [0] This puts me hard case territory. Does everyone need this? Probably not. I move upwards of 1600km to 2000km per year. If you move a minimum of 5km&#x2F;hr that is 2 hours per day. Time commitment required. I choose to move across broken ground and carry weight, a minimum of 1kg and irregular max of 20Kg, averaging around 8kg. The physical commitment to do this is high.<p>What do I find.<p>10km&#x2F;day is hard. In the cold it is better. You have to take precautions in the heat. You don&#x27;t have to count calories as much. You get sore feet and muscles. Do you need it? I doubt it. For me I can probably meet your requirements with a 5km&#x2F;day with some resistance gym work.<p>Interesting psychological observations: The most likely time for failure to get out the door is the short time before you start. If you say to yourself, &quot;f*&amp;$-it, just go&quot; you are more likely start and complete. I&#x27;ve tried this for a decade and the resistance to start is pretty constant but one you get out the door, this disappears.<p>Do the hardest thing first ~ <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;seldomlogical.com&#x2F;hard.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;seldomlogical.com&#x2F;hard.html</a><p>[0] currently at 5km&#x2F;day with weights and gym till I crack 200km.
