Permission granted!! You do not need to walk 10K steps a day - especially on top of everything else you are doing in life.
Health promoting behaviors don’t need an arbitrary “perfect” threshold to “count.” A day with 4 to 6,000-step day isn’t failure because your watch didn’t hit 10,000.
There just isn’t a magic step number. If you are wanting to improve your fitness and/or build more positive behaviors around movement, I suggest finding a level of daily movement that’s realistic for you and go from there!
As always, I’m rooting for you and here to help. 😘
