“Steps” are forward steps, i.e., walking. It’s all the fad to count daily steps.

In the old days, you’d put a mechanical pedometer on your ankle to count steps and distance. Now your phone does it for you (as long as you are carrying it).

It is amazing what MEMS accelerometers can do.

Oh, I thought she was using one of the step machines that try to simulate climbing a staircase.

“Now your phone does it for you (as long as you are carrying it)”

A phone is a pain to walk with. Get a Fitbit wrist band or similar to count steps. Plus they are more accurate than your phone.

Ah, the silver lining of getting older is the number of steps to the bathroom is increasing.

Sorta makes you wonder how all the past generations were healthy, (except for trauma, and infections, or cancer,) without all of those exercise gizmos.
