It looks like I am just another one of millions of Americans that thinks I am getting a lot more physical exercise than I really am.

FitSugar says we should all be taking 6,000 steps a day for health and 10,000 for weight-loss...so can I call myself a healthy geek if I start plotting out all my major activity?
