Speaker 1 (00:00):
Quest. Yeah, welcome friends to the Christian o'connells show podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
These days, she feel pretty good. If you've got around
eight to ten thousand steps a day, that's a sweet spot.
So she's very very good you to get eight to
ten thousand steps a day. But of course we lead
incredingly sedentary life styles. I was chating to my sister
yesterday and I was selling how my wife at the moment,
she's on a two week streak ten thousand, she says,
that's a Deli gold ten thousand steps. So sometimes we'll

(00:25):
be watching Netflix near and she's like, oh my god,
I'm a thousand short. She'd just take off her on
the block, right, We'll only return when she's got those
one thousand steps in. I admire the dedication. And she's
on a streak at the moment, right, So it's over
two weeks. I went, oh, you know, she's doing ten
thousand a day.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Now.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
My sister, who's married to a farmer, last goes, oh,
I do eighteen thousand every day. I'm like, oh my god,
every day and she goes, no, no, no, Luke. This
is her husband who is the dairy farmer. Right, he's
got like eight hundred cows as she said, you've got me,
you're winding me up. Can I speak to Luke? I
want to check this. I spoke to my brother law,
but speaking in a couple of months, I went, Hi, Luke,
do you really do there's amout of steps every day? Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yeah, yeah, he does thirty thousand a day. Oh my god.
He told me that.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
By by, he said, by breakfast, right, because his day
starts at five o'clock and not like our day at
five o'clock.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Mosing in outside, quick.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Flicked through the papers, a cup of tea, pushed the
microphone on. I mean he's start start cows, being born, dying,
all that at five am.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
By breakfast, he's done nine thousand. That's the start of
our day. He's done nine thousand.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
So I'd love to find out what we all do
for steps, and then who, out of anyone listening, does
the most amount of steps on an average day. I
would guess if you're working like at the supermarkets or
especially Bunnings, you know, as they march up and down
all day long, showing us and taking us to the aisles,
it could be quite a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
On the other side. At one endable woes. They must
be really clocking up steps.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
I've just had a look at mind. You can look
on your phone as well, if you go into the
health app on your iPhone seven five hundred yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
That's not too bad that but you were very months.
You must have been in ten thousand a day when
you're doing your seventy five.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
In September, I was averaging over ten thousand, now averaging
six thousand since since seventy five?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Hard finished, Patsie, what did you clock up at the
weekend at the Melbourne Show between food trucks?

Speaker 4 (02:12):
N fifty six steps? That's in like four hours.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
That's a bit of a march on? All right? Cool
in now?

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Then if you can top there? What are we looking
for above nine thousand on an average day?

Speaker 4 (02:23):
I think above ten thousand.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Let's do that look Christian O Connell Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
What's your step count? Such a modern phrase, isn't it?
Twenty thirty years ago you wouldn't even thought about this
because you walked a lot more now with uber and
just how lazy you are getting now actually looking at
your step count being proud of actually doing some walking
in an average day. It's like people go well done,
you've been moving around like we used to.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
So we're trying to find Hi's step counts.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
The reason why I'm doing it speaking to my brother
and order yesterday who is a farmer. He's a dairy farmer,
and I was going, you know where, Yeah, try I
did ten thousand steps a day, and he laughed in
my face. He said, I've done nine thousand by breakfast
on an average day. And he's a farmer obviously a
farmer seven days a week, thirty thousand a day. So
I want to find out some of the higher ones
in Melbourne nine four one four three. Michelle, what do
