I agree that walking is good for health, and I do it myself, but ...

The 4000 steps that supposedly sedentary older adults walk every day is 2 miles. Really? I am skeptical of calling anyone who walks 2 miles a day as “sedentary”.

Those extra 3000 steps are another 1.5 miles, and God bless anyone who has the time to do them every day.

I actually do 2 miles every day on my treadmill, and I’m doing fine. It does help.

Thanks. I’m averaging 18,000 steps per day, which includes about 3,000 “steps” from biking. (1337 miles so far) I pray and review scriptures while walking, jogging, or biking.

That’s about 20 minutes walking, for the whole day. That’s pretty sedentary, imo, if that’s all the walking you do in a day.

I might dispute the term "actually", on the basis that you don't "actually" go anywhere!

I guess "equivalently" would be a mouthful.
