It is an interdisciplinary branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and software engineering that is concerned with integrating electrical and mechanical engineering to create hybrid systems.
One pound of body fat is equivalent to 3500 calories. On average, it will take about 10,000 steps a day, more or less, to get in five miles of walking. At that rate, if your target weight loss goal is 35 pounds, it will take approximately one week to lose a pound or two.
Walking 10,000 steps per day for health and weight loss was popularized originally in Japan. Pedometer researcher Dr. Catrine Tudor-Locke says the original figure was not based on medical research. Several researchers have been playing catch-up on this, including Tudor-Locke.
