0An active lifestyle isn’t a number, it’s a feeling. Steps, miles, and other numbers are external validation measurements used to give a visual representation of a feeling.
But those numbers don’t always accurately depict your lifestyle. That’s why you need to trust yourself first to determine if you’re active or not. And then if you want to track steps or other physical activity measurements, you can use them to motivate you or challenge you to push harder.
Ask yourself, “Do I feel active?”
It seems like a simple question, but it gives you a clear answer. Just because you walk a certain amount of steps or run a certain amount of miles, it doesn’t automatically mean you’re going to feel active.
You don’t live an active lifestyle because you walk a certain amount of steps. You’re living an active lifestyle when you actually feel like you’re active.
