The Truth About Walking 10,000 Steps A Day: Does It Really Benefit Your Health?

The Truth About Walking 10,000 Steps A Day: Does It Really Benefit Your Health?

Walking 10 000 steps a day is roughly 8 kilometers

Is walking 10000 steps a day actually beneficial?

It can be traced back to the 60s in Japan where it was recommended that you need 10 000 steps a day to be healthy

A recent study found that after 6 months of participants doing 10 000 steps their BMI decreased by 3.7%

The amount of calories burnt by walking 10 000 steps is affected by genetics and the pace of your walk.
