Damn, I walk more than I thought

[thatguy]

Been using a pedometer for a few weeks now.  After testing accuracy for a while and verifying it, I began using this phone app to track my step count per day.  And..... daily step count is 18-24k per day.  Read on an NHS site that the average UK punter does 4-6k a day and the average yank is around 3-4k a day. 


Came to the conclusion I walk to much at work and should teach from behind the desk more often (who am I kidding, not gonna happen).  Anyone else use a pedometer and can share their step count estimates with me?  I'm interested in knowing if I' really walking so much more than the average bloke(or lassie), or does the NHS think we are all lazy sods!

I've not measured my walking in steps thatguy, but out of interest I got a pedometer to see how far I walk in a day, at work and on a non working day.

The highest figure I recorded at work - was 8 miles, on a day off the average was 3 - 5 depending on how long I'm out with the dog  . . . .

Exactly what have you been attaching that pedometer to
