10,000 Steps a Day
Ultimately, everyone's goal is to increase their physical activity energy expenditure to about 300-400 kilocalories per day to achieve the most health benefits. The simplest way to do that is taking 10,000 steps a day, including steps taken going uphill and downhill, steps taken going up and down stairs, and steps taken walking on level ground. Have you thought about counting your steps with a pedometer? Check out this website for frequently asked questions (FAQ), a guide to pedometer prices and how long you can expect one to last.
