How many steps per day on average make people healthy?

As fitness devices become more popular, more and more people are taking a closer look at their daily steps. And it seems to be paying off.

According to the American Council on Exercise, people who track their steps take an average of 2,500 more steps per day than those who don't.

If you're one of the millions of people participating in an effort to reach the commonly recommended goal of 10,000 steps per day, your efforts won't go unrewarded.

Regular activity, including walking, offers a number of health benefits, including a reduced risk of:

-heart disease and stroke

-high blood pressure

-diabetes

-overweight

-depression

-some cancers, including breast and colon cancer

How many steps per day on average make people healthy?

But how many steps does the average person actually take per day? And is it enough?

It is recommended that adults, including seniors, get at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, per week. A brisk pace translates to about 100 steps per minute. That means you would need to take 15,000 steps per week (a little over 2,000 steps per day) to meet the minimum guidelines.

For more health benefits, it is recommended to increase this goal to 300 minutes. This is equivalent to about 30,000 steps per week (just under 5,000 steps per day).

If you're not sure how you can add more steps to your daily routine, try these tips:

-Take the stairs instead of the elevator.

-Park further away from the door when you are working.

-Walk with a friend.

-Clean the house.

-Take a walk during your breaks at work. /CNA
