Yes.

So for so long, we have been told that 10,000 steps a day is a target that we need to do.

But a new study from the London School of Economics tells us that just 5,000 steps three days a week is actually all that we need, which is a lot more achievable as well.

I think for people who are working full time as well or might have kids, we don't need to be stressing about getting those 10,000 steps.

5,000 steps three days a week is

And it actually can expand your life expectancy for men for about two and a half years and then women almost three years.

And then just with that, it's going to impact you a lot positively through not just your physical health, but mental health as well.

Getting out in fresh air for just five minutes in the day is going to completely de-stress you, just heighten your mood.

Being outside can change everything.

So those 5,000 steps are very doable, very achievable.

So I think just swapping maybe the car or the...

bus a short distance, if we can walk to the train or walk to work and get those 5000 steps in, it has a massive impact.

Those 5,000.

Get those steps in.

Yes, there is.

Pure Telecom's Connected Live survey found that 29% of adults in Ireland say they couldn't last a full hour without the internet.

And that's nearly one in three of us.
