I have no idea how long 10,000 steps is vis a vis how much I typically walk on a day when I'm out. I guess I probably don't usually walk nearly that much. But walking a lot has never seemed like much exercise to me (though I can't run even a little bit for crap). I could walk for hours no problem. Or at least I used to be able to. Nowadays my right hip starts hurting after 20-30 minutes.
