Instant result
Plain-English why
Copyable takeaway
What this means
Evaluates your daily steps against research-based health bands (not marketing campaigns), adjusting for age and structured exercise.
Formula used
bands = [<2.5k, <5k, <7.5k, <10k, <12.5k]. Adjusted for age (>60) and structured exercise.
Worked example
6,800 steps/day for a 45yo with a desk job is 'Somewhat active', regardless of the 10k myth.
Common questions
Can I use this internationally?
Yes. Currency selectors are display-only unless a tool explicitly says otherwise; no currency conversion is performed.
How exact is the result?
It follows the published Technofatty formula for this tool, but real life can add fees, rules, timing quirks, and context.
Plain-English summary
Your desk job reduces incidental movement, so breaks are recommended.
This section translates the result into a short, direct takeaway rather than leaving the page at a bare number.
