But Japanese have shorter legs and smaller feet, so you only need 5000 steps.
An American Working trend can help too.

First, you have to get the permission of the cops in the donut shop. 😂
Normal commuting is mostly public transit, which really isn't so bad because their central cities are NOT $#*+holes like ours. In most cases, they are quite pleasant and even fun.
Interval walking — 3 minutes fast and 3 minutes slow
Worth a shot.
I do that everyday at work.

Many sports call them Indian Runs, Shuttle Runs, Suicide Runs, Ladder Runs, etc.
That alternating pace was originally a Scandanavian thing: “fartlek”.
Fascinating discussion. Learning something.
They won't be busy with work or other obligations when their health starts failing b/c of a lack of exercise.
The Japanese "trend" seems to be interval walking for 30 minutes at least four days a week.
I get this every day when I walk first the small dog, then the big dog.
I prefer to walk like a camel, if I can get enough oatmeal pies.

Actually makes sense. I often do something similar. alternate jogging with walking. My normal walk rate is fairly brisk as it is.
If you can do it, Sprinting is the best use of your time.
20 sprints of 5 seconds, that’s 100 seconds plus whatever time you take in between the sprints.
It’s like spending 2 hours in a gym.
But you have to work your way up to it before doing it, or else you will strain something.
walking or whatever exercise/activity cannot be the answer to a crap food filled lifestyle. Crap food being mostly processed (packaged, take out etc) foods.
so stupid people keep trying to find “the answer” in so many other things, when 80-90% of it is what you eat.
I recently dropped 14 lbs in a month just by drastically cutting back on processed foods and instead prepping my own. Some times batches I could freeze. no exercise outside of daily work and life, not even lemon water or teas or other weight loss helpers. just committed to stop ingesting crap food.
Even the organic crap food is still crap.
It’s all made to make people sick and dead, while companies manufacturing get rich. kind of like the vaccines, and so many other things they tell us to do/use.
you mean the boy scout pace?
Run 100 steps
walk 100 steps
