A closer look
Your daily, mindless commute to the fridge really adds up to a global expedition, even if you never physically leave your hometown. An moderately active person takes about 7,500 steps a day. Over an 80-year lifespan, that equates to over 216 million steps, which translates to roughly 110,000 miles. Given that the circumference of the Earth is about 24,900 miles, your legs will essentially carry you around the equator five times before you finally get to rest.
