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.
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.
