How Grok Bot helps me get 10,000 steps a day I thought I couldn't hit 10k steps just being at home. Then one day my 3-year-old wanted to play marching band. We marched around the living room for maybe 20 minutes, and I hit 10k for the first time in a year or more. I've surpassed 10k steps every day since then. @felixrieseberg wrote about this kind of self-efficacy recently: Sabastian Sawe ran the first official sub-two-hour marathon in London this April, and the runner-up in the same race also broke two. Bannister's four-minute mile stood alone for only 46 days. People suddenly believe they can do the thing once they see it done. I realized that if all I did was not I stand still at my computer while I did email, shopping, and notes, I could easily get in 20-45 mins of walking every day. So instead of standing and clicking, I walk with my phone and talk to @Grok @Bot instead. - Pacing the living room while clearing email: ~2k steps - Walking the kitchen and pantry while dictating a grocery list: ~1k - Voice-drafting a computational thinking homeschool idea for my kid instead of typing at a desk: ~3k I've used other assistants as well. Hermes is great in a pinch over iMessage from my Apple Watch, but it's still a text thread. Dot and ChatGPT are strong in a sit-down session with a keyboard (and when I'm available to click to grant all the permissions it keeps requesting). What I needed to stay on my feet was a bot that can take a half-baked voice note, do the work (draft the email, build the list, ping the right specialist bot), and not make me sit down to copy-paste context. Grok Bot has been the most capable assistant I've tried so far, with the right amount of proactiveness. It's the one that actually lets me stay walking. I went from 4-7k on a home day to hitting 10k pretty easily, and I get as much done, sometimes more. I'm not claiming this is a fitness system. Grok Bot can't make me walk. It just means the work that used to glue me to a chair can happen on my feet.
