"I've done 41,000 steps a day for the last YEAR - it's not that difficult"

A fitness fanatic has done a staggering 41,000 steps a day - for the last YEAR.

Jack Manchester, 29, smashed out 15,188,963 steps in the last 12 months.

It's widely accepted that 10,000 steps a day is the figure to aim for - just a quarter of Jack's total.

The chartered surveyor loves a challenge and recently ate 10,000 calories in just 36 minutes.

He posts videos about his exploits on his JackedEats TikTok account, which has more than 32,000 followers.

Jack has been bodybuilding for 11 years but fell in love with walking during Covid.

He said: "I started walking in lockdown because there was nothing else to do - you couldn't go to the gym.

"It increased and increased - 10,000, 15,000, 20,000...People say it's so much, but it's only four hours of walking.

"I get up at 6 am every morning and have my first meal. I then walk for two-and-a-half hours before work and spend 45 minutes on the bike.

"I then go for an hour-and-a-half walk at lunch at around half five I go to the gym. After that, I spend another 45 minutes on the bike."

Jack, from Leeds, regularly uploads clips about his fitness lifestyle.

And some social media users had cast doubt on his steps claims - until he produced the evidence.

Footage posted a week ago shows Jack logging into his fitness app - which shows the impressive stats.

Another popular video sees Jack eat 10,000 calories - a challenge people usually do in a day - in just over half an hour.

He ate four 1,300-calories pizzas, four 1,000-calorie muffins and a 1,080-calorie ice cream for a total of 10,280 calories.

Jack says he consumes nearly 9,000 calories on a "high day" and 4,500 on a "low day".

'Cheat days' are when he tops 10,000 calories.

But, despite the numbers, Jack says he doesn't count the calories he burns - as it's something he'd become "obsessed with".

And he wants to promote a healthy lifestyle around eating and fitness.

Jack said: "There's lots of negativity in the fitness industry, saying 'sugar gives you diabetes, sugar gives you cancer'.

"Sugar is not the enemy, calorie surplus is the enemy. My ethos is: 'You can't get fat in a day.'

"Life is for living - you can't go through life and not have a cheeseburger. Life's worth going for a meal and not worrying about it.

"It's all about moderation, you just need to go back to the plan the next day."
