Subdisciplines of mechanics include. 1  Statics, the study of non-moving bodies under known loads, how forces affect static bodies. 2  Dynamics the study of how forces affect moving bodies. Dynamics includes kinematics (about movement, velocity, and acceleration) and kinetics (about forces and resulting accelerations).
1 Researchers studied a group of men that typically walk approximately 10,000 steps per day (as measured by a pedometer) and asked them to reduce their steps to only 1,350 per day. 2  This meant taking elevators instead of stairs, driving to work and lunch.
Health experts recommend that we should walk 10,000 steps a day (about five miles) to stay healthy, yet most Britons walk only 4,500 steps. You would probably need to tot up at least 16,000 steps a day to lose weight. Knight suggests the following workout plans, depending on your level of fitness. Tuesday to Friday: Walk 45 minutes at a moderate pace one day and 50 minutes the next day. 2  Saturday: Walk 50 minutes at a fast pace. 3  Sunday: Walk 60 minutes at a moderate pace.
