Walking for weight loss
Taking 10,000 👣steps per day is often suggested as a desirable exercise goal for people who wish to improve their health💪
One study found that getting at least 15,000 steps👣 per day is correlated with lower risk of metabolic syndrome and weight loss.
You don’t need to walk 15,000 steps in one go. Divide your walk into 3-4 sets of 20-minute long walks throughout the day.
While the exact number is based on factors such as your age, gender👩👩👧👦, current activity level🏃♀️
However adding a few steps like 250-500 steps each day can move your count into the active category.
If you’re looking for a way to compare your daily steps to an activity level, consider the following categories:
Inactive : less than👣 5,000 steps per day
Average(somewhat active): ranges from 7,500 to 9,999 steps👣 per day
Very active : more than 12,500 steps👣 per day
