Covering 1,094 steps in a day means covering close to 0.55 miles of ground. If a landmark helps more than a number, that's about a round trip out and back along the Santa Monica Pier. NHANES accelerometer data puts the average American at 8,818 steps a day. This step count comes out to about 12% of that.

Did You Know?
Olympic race walkers can cover a mile in under 6 minutes, but they have to keep at least one foot on the ground at all times or risk disqualification, a rule that's surprisingly hard for judges to call correctly at that speed.
Walking upright costs humans roughly a quarter of the energy that walking on all fours would, according to a study comparing human and chimpanzee locomotion. That efficiency is a big part of why our ancestors could travel further between food sources as forests thinned into open grassland.
