Today's 10-minute walk is happening not only as I wake up, but as the birds around me wake up as well.

This one bird, I don't know if you can hear there's one. there he is. That bird just started chirping.

Been here for a few minutes, just walking, enjoying the morning,

and that bird was quiet until now, and we're both waking up at the same time.

I got a question for you.

Actually, I have a couple of questions.

How many steps did you take yesterday?

Do you know the answer to that?

How many steps did you take yesterday?

And do all those steps count the same?

You ever thought about that?

We reached the end of the day and we look at the step total, whether it's 5,000 or 10,000, maybe it's 15,000 yesterday. I had an active day,

ended with a little more than 18,000 steps on my Fitbit.

Have you ever thought about, okay, you look at that number,

do each one of these steps count the same?

Are they all of equal value?

And one level of that answer is, well, sure.

A step is a step is a step.

We keep being told by the experts to move more and to sit less.

And every one of these steps represents more movement and not sitting.

And so that's good. But if you are walking up a hill and pushing yourself and you can barely talk because you're breathing so hard, do those steps

count the same as the ones when you're in the grocery store and you're holding on to a shopping cart and you're moving very slowly past the Pop-Tarts?
