1 Researchers studied a group of men that typically walk approximately 10,000 steps per day (as measured by a pedometer) and asked them to reduce their steps to only 1,350 per day. 2  This meant taking elevators instead of stairs, driving to work and lunch.
Since then, the suggestion has been studied and found to have significant health benefits, especially for people who live a more sedentary life. Walking 10,000 steps equates to about five miles a day, which is quite an increase for those who sit at a desk all day. It comes out to about 90 active minutes a day, which is three times the amount recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Instead, it recommends adults engage in 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, such as brisk walking.
