> I have trouble understanding[...] What do they do all day? Sedentary activities? Look at your chair or couch or bed, and consider all the things you can do there. Ever had a lazy sunday? Got out of bed late, watched some tv on the couch, played some Xbox, ordered in pizza, made some phonecalls, browsed some on the internet, went to bed? Can easily be just 500 steps in the house on a day like that. Replace that with working from home and not doing anything after work but the above (netflix, xbox etc) and you get the same thing. To get to 4-5k steps you'd need to actively do something. Most people walk about 6k steps per hour, so to get to 4-5k you'd need about 40-50 minutes of walking. Say that day you visit a friend or do groceries and spend 15 minutes in the store but drive to/from the store and to your friend, you're not even hitting that 40-50 minutes of pure walking. It's easy to walk 40-50min on a day, it's also easy not to, depending on your lifestyle.
