For five years, one man has committed to walking at least 20,000 steps daily, rain or shine. His transformation from a sedentary lifestyle to an active one has improved his physical and mental health, but it’s driving his sister-in-law up the wall. She thinks his dedication to daily steps is obsessive and unhealthy and even challenges him to break his streak for just one day. But the man refuses to give up his commitment to proving a point. Now, tensions are high between the two, and the man wonders if he’s an a**hole for sticking to his routine. What do you think? Is he being obsessive, or is his dedication admirable?
