The rationale behind 10,000 steps a day is very simpleââit's about staying motivated. Numerous studies undertaken by health experts revealed that many participants were more excited about counting 10,000 steps through both walking and general movement than by being asked to perform 30 minute walking stints.
So youâve decided to walk, but how much is enough? The average person in Canada accumulates approximately 3,500 to 5,000 steps in a day. Research shows that to improve your health you should add 2,000 to 3,000 steps to your routine a day. It only takes five minutes to walk about 500 steps.
