“Newest Science Myth: the 10,000-step rule”

I don’t know why, but I’ve never cottoned to the 10,000-step rule. Family members and friends that count their steps… I wish they would do it more discreetly. I mean, okay, go ahead and do it. But don’t talk about it. And don’t act like you are being virtuous when you hit or exceed the mark. Really. It’s annoying. Why don’t they count and/or measure their bowel movements and boast about them?

In any case, I was happy to read this article in MarketWatch that exposes this silly idea.
