The average Amish man took about 18,000 steps per day.

- The average Amish woman, about 14,000 steps per day.

Most of the steps were recorded during the Amish's daily tasks.

Harvest time pumps those numbers up further still.Even on the Day of Rest, Amish got in about 10,000 steps.

Although the diet is high in fat, carbohydrates and calories, food intake is balanced by energy levels. Eating Meat, Potatoes, Dairy & Bread and Still Lose Weight, Feel Great, and Look Fantastic!
