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.
An average person has a stride length of approximately 2.1 to 2.5 feet. That means that it takes over 2,000 steps to walk one mile; and 10,000 steps would be almost 5 miles. A sedentary person may only average 1,000 to 3,000 steps a day. For these people adding steps has many health benefits. Wearing a pedometer or fitness tracker is an easy way to track your steps each day.
