Today's Trivia Answer
Question: The average American walks how many steps per day?
A. 1,000-2,000
B. 3,000-4,000
C. 5,000-6,000
D. 7,000+
According to Mayo Clinic, the average American walks 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, or roughly 1.5 to 2 miles.
If your goal is to walk 10,000 steps a day, there's a great way to reach this number while also strengthening your marriage.
It really is as simple as it sounds.
Walk. And. Talk.
Simple, and yet complicated. Walk and talk.
The walk and talk isn’t only surface conversation, but it’s also not always deep and heavy.
Nothing is off limits during a walk and talk, just let the conversation naturally happen.
What’s most important is that you take your first steps together and start talking.
