Do You Really Need 10,000 Steps?

You don’t need 10,000 steps to gain health benefits — just move more, more often, and build gradually.

The “10,000 steps a day” goal has become popular, but it started as a marketing concept. While it’s a great target for many, what really matters is moving more, more often.

What research shows:

Walking improves heart health, brain function, and mood
More daily steps are linked with lower risk of disease and death
Even 10 to 15 minutes of brisk walking per day shows benefits
Aiming for any increase in daily steps improves health

If 10,000 feels like too much, start with less and build up. The most important step is the next one.
