From the Greek name Î½Î¹ÎºÎ¿Î»Î±Î¿Ï (Nikolaos) which meant victory of the people from Greek Î½Î¹ÎºÎ· (nike) victory and Î»Î±Î¿Ï (laos) people. Saint Nicholas was a 4th-century bishop from Anatolia who, according to legend, saved the daughters of a poor man from lives of prostitution.
On average, men take approximately 6,000 steps a day while women take approximately 5,300 steps a day. While any added physical activity can improve your health, the American Heart Association, AHA, recommends an average of 10,000 steps each day.
RE: Is 10000 steps per day too much for the average person? 10,000 steps per day, assuming thirteen hours out of bed a day (maybe a lowball estimate), requires an average of almost 13 steps per minute for the entire thirteen hours. But if walking pace is probably two steps per second, then 10,000 steps would be about an hour and a half of walking.
