On average, men take approximately 6,000 steps a day while women take approximately 5,300 steps a day. While any added physical activity can improve your health, the American Heart Association, AHA, recommends an average of 10,000 steps each day.
If you are reasonably healthy, 10,000 steps a day is a good goal for you. It is the equivalent of walking about five miles per day. (I say about because the actual distance depends on your stride.) You certainly don't have to take all those steps at once, but accumulate them over the course of the day.owever, your personal health, wellness, and fitness goals should play a factor in determining how many steps you strive for each day. For example, youth and adolescents should strive for a minimum of one hour of physical activity per day and oftentimes easily exceed 10,000 steps.
