Barn-Raising for Life

...Amish men walk an average of 18,425 steps daily, and women an average of 14,196 steps.

One man logged an incredible 51,000 steps in a single day while plowing fields behind a team of horses.

In studies done in mainstream Canadian and U.S. society, adults tend to log about 2,000 to 3,000 steps.

The Globe and Mail reports on another black mark against TV, automobiles, computers, and drive-thrus.
