It's pretty hard to escape step-count culture these days. We're constantly reminded of the benefits of walking more (and for good reason), but somewhere along the way, a helpful health metric seems to have become a daily obligation. And I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling unnecessarily guilty when I miss my step goal.
That's why a growing trend of 'intuitive walking' recently caught my attention. Instead of chasing a number, it encourages you to simply walk according to your energy levels, schedule and how your body feels that day. In other words, movement guided by intuition rather than a smartwatch.
