It's really not easy to walk ten thousand steps a day.

Because of taking care of the children's daily life, I am always in a hurry to go to and from work every day, and try not to walk if possible to save time. At work, I rarely get up and walk while sitting in front of the computer, except for printing and sending faxes. However, after lunch, I usually take a slow walk for about half an hour. The evening is the most tiring part of the day, as it involves washing clothes, cooking, taking out the trash, cleaning the house, etc.

Expert comment: Housework definitely burns calories, but its fitness effect is definitely not as good as brisk walking. For professional women like this, with children and being office workers, lunchtime is very precious. This time can be used for effective brisk walking exercise. If you just stroll slowly, it won't have any exercise effect. The number of steps isn't the key to fitness; 30 minutes of fast, big strides walking can achieve a good fitness effect, or climbing stairs for exercise, preferably when exercising until you are out of breath and sweating.
