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.
Do that for a few days and figure out your average daily steps. This is your baseline level of activity. Increase your walking time gradually, adding 10% to 20% to your daily average each week, he says. So if the first week you averaged about 4,000 steps a day, the next week shoot for 4,800 steps a day.
