The only reason I'm asking because claiming 10,000 steps a day is "optimal" is absurd on its face. There is no optimal for anybody. And I'm pretty sure neither he said that nor a scientific study exists that show that it is optimal. But if you think otherwise, cite the study. Telling me to re-watch the video will just tell me you have nothing.
Scientists who write about studies can interpret them wrong, the scientists who did the studies can interpret the data wrong. You obviously know nothing at all about science.

What he said in the video seemed sane and convincing enough. I am not wasting any more time trying to convince you.

You know what? This is just something I mentioned on a web forum, not something I planned on devoting hours and hours trying to verify and make sure it is absolutely true.

You obviously don't want it to be true, so you can go spend the time trying to un-verify it.
