Child health. Men's health. Women's health. Walking more, whether it's for work or leisure, is an easy way of being more active without trying too hard. Setting yourself a target of walking 10,000 steps a day can be a fun way of increasing the amount of physical activity you do.
Studies found that the average American adult only makes it about halfway to a goal of 10,000 steps per day, although those who wear an activity monitor or pedometer seem to log more steps per day. If you walk between 5,000 and 7,000 steps per day, you are an average American. However, this is a case where it definitely pays to be above average. At 5,000 steps per day, it is unlikely you are getting the amount of exercise recommended to reduce health risks.
