Any of you have experience with pedometers?

I recently got a book called "The Step Diet Book" that's all about walking
to lose weight. According to the book (page 4):

"Average Number of Steps Per Day By Age:

Males
13-15 6749
16-17 8283
18-29 6382
30-39 5819
40-49 6312
50-59 5703
60+ 4515


Females
13-15 8130
16-17 6256
18-29 5318
30-39 5162
40-49 5780
50-59 4537
60+ 4504"

DO THESE SOUND LIKE REASONABLE NUMBERs TO YOU?

I'm 59 years old, and recently started the 10,000 steps program. I
started out by determining my average steps per day, and it was right
at 5,700. zi'm now averaging 10,000 and have lost 35 pounds.

As many as I need to get where I need or want to go, whether it's around the
block or a 10 mile run.
