10,000 steps only burns 90 calories???
Hello! So I synced my step counter with this app and after my usual walk I noticed it said I only burned 90 cals after 10,000 steps. This doesn’t seem right to me. I walk briskly. My height is 5’8 and I weigh 130 lbs if that affects it. Not trying to lose weight I use this app for monitoring nutrition, I just find this odd.

Is there a Strong Curves but for abs/core?

Not looking for a six-pack per se but some more definition would be nice (current…
