We've all been had, by a marketing gimmick from the 1960s.
Screenshot of a tweet from user Trung Phan (@TrungTPhan) explaining the origin of the "10k steps per day" myth: "The fitness industry regularly advises 10k steps a day for health.

The Japanese character for "10,000" looks like a man walking." Below is a side-by-side image comparison of the character and a cartoon man with his arms stretched wide, taking a step.
