if you think though that you are doing over 8000 steps on the eliptical... just think about all of the steps you take from waking up, going to the shower, moving around, walking to your car, moving back and forth at work/school, going to the bathroom... and they do believe it or not add up. So if your sister exercises for half an hour a day on the eliptical, plus her work, plus just normal moving around at home... she would have way over that amount...

of course, if you sit at a desk all day and aren't adding in a good half hour or so of exercise, you won't ever make it...

how far would 10000 steps be? just curious
