We have all seen numerous articles and studies claiming the benefits of step count, with rather different figures being recommended.
So, what is the truth behind walking and health? And how many daily steps should we be doing?

But not a step footing on Assumption uni campus. Abac stole conversation from school office, uploading without teachersโ awareness led to many times dead accidents. Every corner is tape recorder, your first step at Abac means death, I was a victim.
Bullshit on age. 60 is not old.
Thank you!
news paper flown up in
BBC please talk about the out of control OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING for k-12 teachers that's why we have teacher shortages I'm the author of EIGHT DAYS IN AN INNER CITY SCHOOL
Yeah cos how many streps you gonna do in your 15 mins zones?
Meanwhile me doing 27k on average per day (got a walking pad in my office), running twice a week and strength training four times a week.
Our hunter-gatherer ancestors averaged 18,000 steps. This number is based on studies of the few remaining ones left.
Homo sapiens have evolved to be constantly active throughout the day, which is why desk jobs, driving, etc, are so bad for you. They did studies on bus drivers and bus ticket inspectors in the 60s/70s. They found bus drivers were far more likely to have a heart attack.
stay healthy?
Try doing that 10,000 steps in Gaza.
So school is bad for you and homework is bad for you too.
We are created to be active and not to sit for a long time.
Funny about all those young people dying after the co-vaccination rollout – then adjusting the statics because they care???
Not watching the news keeps you healthier!
With a target of 6k I am more consistent. The thought of having to achieve 10k often makes me give it up altogether.
You are eating too many carbohydrates and so taking too many calories. ๐

Wasnโt the idea of 10,000 steps a day created by a Japanese company to promote their pedometer?
I have nearly 20k by the end of my normal day. That's with work, working out, and doing my daily chores at home.
Would go for walks but feel worse not better๐ข
Hamstring stretches are good
I can touch my toes
There's no such thing as an exact step count. Just stay active, in all seasons. Be happy!. Thanks it!
That is better
These "experts" get paid lots of money for this nonsense ๐ everybody got jabbed there's nothing healthy about that ๐คญ
Not if you have peripheral neuropathy.
Even one step in my favourite town is better. ๐ ๐ก๐
No
Where's the enterview of Guyana's President, Mohamed Irfaan Ali, debunking the BBC reporter's narratives?
Just buy a bike, walking is tedious and bad for joints
if it did then bbc would not tell everybody to buy mg motors car
Lifting weights, as the vid show when mentioning it, is not the offset to walk 10 000 steps. If you meant using a treadmill though, then yes.
Fun fact: walking 10,000 steps per day is less expensive than a gym membership
The world needs more content like this.
I've been on 10,000 steps a day for years, without any other exercise. Never felt better ๐๐ผ
I walk 30 minutes to work every day. I was struggling for the first 2 months. Now i feel much better. I walk early in the morning, before the car pollution starts and love fresh air. Wouldn't change this for the world.
