Saturday night, 10 p.m. I opened WeChat Sports: 87 steps over two days.
The fitness guru on the cover had already hit 30,000 steps, with the caption “20 km weekend hike.”
Meanwhile, my activity route over the past two days was: bed → sofa → fridge → bed.
WeChat Sports was very generous: I beat 0% of my friends.
Don’t laugh—87 steps still count for something.
To rack up those 87 steps, I got up to collect three food deliveries, poured myself water twice, and even went out to the balcony once to bring in the laundry.
Every step was put to good use.
Then it hit me: step counts have never really measured health—they measure your radius of activity.
Some people use their feet to explore the city; others use the sofa to measure out their weekend.
One posts their mileage to Moments, another watches the moon from the sofa. Neither is better than the other.
True freedom of movement is: “I move when I feel like it, and when I don’t, it’s 87 steps.”
Anyway, once Monday’s alarm goes off, I’ll have all the walking I need to do.
How many steps did you get this weekend? Post your number in the comments and let’s see if 87 steps takes the bottom spot 😉
I’ll keep sharing observations about everyday life like this, so follow me and you won’t lose your way.
