In today’s digital age, many of us are missing a simple habit that humans have relied on for centuries: walking with friends, family, or colleagues. Walking isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s a way to connect, share stories, and stay grounded. But as a desk worker, especially outside a busy city, it’s easy to fall into a sedentary routine. Global step counts are declining yearly, and I was no exception.
In 2023, my daily step count averaged just 2,000 steps. Practically sedentary. The impact was clear: I gained weight, felt drained, and worst of all, my connections with friends and family started to fade. I was glued to screens, and my relationships suffered.
That’s when I made a change. I started walking while calling friends or family. Even better, I joined a group of friends for regular voice chats during walks, no matter where we were. This simple habit, walking and talking, changed everything. It helped me stay lean, boosted my energy, and brought me closer to the people I care about. That’s why I created Steps Club, a platform to help others rediscover the joy of walking while connecting with loved ones.
As our lives become more digital, it’s easy to lose touch with the physical world. Steps Club is about keeping it simple: moving your body and talking to people who matter. Over three years, my step count went from 2,000 to 5,000, then to 10,000 steps a day. I’m leaner, more energized, happier, and healthier. My relationships are stronger, and I’ve rediscovered the serendipity of life—those unexpected moments of connection that happen when you step outside.
My goal with Steps Club is to help others experience this transformation. Walking and talking isn’t just about fitness; it’s about staying connected, finding energy, and living better in a screen-dominated world. So, grab your shoes, call a friend, and start walking. See how Steps Club can make it easier to build this habit and reconnect with what matters.
