50,000 Steps In One Day

I regularly do 20,000. Over that any improvement is marginal.
10,000 is fine for most people.
Consistency matters more than one off challenges.

My stride equals ~1350 steps per km. I would have to walk just over 37kms to achieve 50k steps.

Used to do between 35-45 every day as a server easily.

Hope no one attempts anything like this while wearing the Chucks shown on the video title page - their feet will never forgive them!

My fitbit reports 10k steps from about 7.5 to 7.8 km, if I am hiking a 20km 'walk' is about 24000 steps, or thereabouts. Depends on stride.
I think the issue is more of time. 50,000 steps is about 8-9 hours of pretty steady walking. Obviously less time if one ups the pace or runs.
You had better have really really great shoes doing this!!
And if anyone is walking 10000+ steps a day and watching caloric input, body fat will be burned, ie about 400 calories / 10Ksteps.

If you don't have a fitbit, how many fucken people are actually gonna count their own steps taken in a day. No one.
A fitbit is a social conversation bit, of one up man ship.....

If you don't have a fitbit

iPhones count your steps.

That is actually quite funny.
A fitbit is something that can be an aid to get in shape. You know indicate steps, heart rate, sleep cycle, O2 stats and a good estimate of calories burned. If one uses it that way.
Of course one can always consider any gizmo on a wrist, or a ring or a (insert device to give one an UP man ship).

Step counters are terribly in acurate. Use an app that will track you by GPS.
Trailforks on Apple and Google is free.

Be sure to disable tracking if you don't want someone to know where you have been

If you can, try to get out once a day or two. It's nice to have goals and all but just the act of a daily walk even if it around the block can do wonders for your mental / physical health.
