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 walk 10,000 steps a day, you will probably do more than 150 minutes and that's great: research suggests that the more activity you do the better, as regular exercise has many benefits. The average person walks between 3,000 and 4,000 steps per day. To find out how many steps you take each day, use a pedometer. If you have a smartphone, you may be able to download a pedometer app. Pedometers measure your every step: around the house, across the office, window shopping, to school or the park.
