Am I lightly active, moderately or very active?

I got a pedometer recently and from the time I leave my house in the morning to go to work to when I return from work, it reads anywhere between 9,500-10,500 steps. My job requires me to be on my feet a lot, go up and down stairs, etc... so this is entirely accurate.

This is before I do *any* type of exercise like walking, running or aerobics, so it only counts the steps I use on a typical day of working.

What do you think: lightly, moderately or very active?

    If you're exercising, that would be very active. But that depends on who you compare it too. I'm very active, I have averaged 10600 steps in over 2 years.
