I had heard about "10,000 steps/day", was curious, so asked for one for Father's Day (just over a week ago).
After one week, being a software engineer for over 20 years now, it gets me out of my chair once in the morning and once in the afternoon for 10 minutes each, just a walk around the block + some change if I walk for lunch. I don't quite get 10,000 steps with that and I have two young children so it's hit or miss if I can get out after work with them, but I do get 20 to 30 minutes of activity per day that I didn't before. Totally, 100% worth it so far.
