They say that to be really fit you should try to walk at least 10,000 steps a day. I got one of those pedometers yesterday that count how many steps you make, and yesterday i did 10,500! How many calories did i burn up doing that do you think?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I think the "10,000 a day" is just a guideline for what you're supposed to do just on an average day. I once did 37,000 after mowing a couple of bowling greens at work then doing a lot of general walking.
As for the calories burned, i think it would depend on a lot of things. If you walked the 10,000 very fast, you'd burn more off but i would certainly say that it would burn off over 500 during the course of the day....but that's a pure guess.
Drusilla.....you can get pedometers from virtually anywhere now....they are the fashion accessory. Argos, Asda, Tesco to name a few places with prices ranging from a few ponds to �30+
