Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Damn, that's a pretty low step goal for a full day... 2700?

I thought the normal average for good health was 10k

10,000 was actually a fabrication. Benefits are greatest around 8700 steps.

Basically the benifits of walking (on lowering all-cause mortality) sort of plateau at 8700...

10k still isn't a bad metric to strive for.
