Walking is classed as a moderate-intensity activity and counts towards your recommended 150 minutes of weekly exercise. If you walk 10,000 steps a day, you will probably do more than 150 minutes and that's great: research suggests that the more activity you do the better, as regular exercise has many benefits. The average person walks between 3,000 and 4,000 steps per day. To find out how many steps you take each day, use a pedometer. If you have a smartphone, you may be able to download a pedometer app. Pedometers measure your every step: around the house, across the office, window shopping, to school or the park.
Unsurprisingly, it's likely not a whole lot, especially since I live in Los Angeles, where nobody walks. As the New York Times explained in 2010, it is common for the health community to encourage people to walk 10,000 steps per day, which is about five miles. Researchers say it takes roughly 2,000 steps to reach a mile. But the average American only walks about half the recommended amount of 10,000 steps, according to Catrine Tudor-Locke, director of the Walking Behavior Laboratory at Pennington Biomedical Research Center.
