In the beginning...

According the NHS website, the average person walks between 3,000 and 4,000 steps per day, and 1,000 steps is the equivalent of around 10 minutes of brisk walking. They suggest walking 10,000 steps in a day to improve fitness, health and for some weight loss.

So that's what I'm going to do. Every day, I will aim to walk 10,000 steps to see where it takes me.

My life is pretty sedentary. I write and verify quiz questions for a living, so I spend much of my day hunched over a computer screen. Not good. However, I have recently removed my son from school and he is being home educated, so it seems like a really good time to get out and about more. It'll be great for our health and we can go and visit lots of places, which will be good for his learning and it might even inspire a quiz question or two along the way.
