Why 10,000 Steps A Day?

http://10000steps.org.au/images/couple_walkway_beach_w180.jpgThe '10,000 steps' goal puts a focus on the accumulation of activity across the whole day. With continual advances in technology and our workplaces becoming more sedentary it now takes a concerted effort to make active choices

10,000 steps or 5 miles walked burns an average of 500 calories. If you walk 10,000 steps, 7 days per week you burn 3500 calories which equals a 1 lb weight loss.

10,000 steps is the recommended daily step goal for a healthy adult. The following pedometer indices have been developed to provide a guideline on how many steps are enough 1 .
