STEP BY STEP
The latest research information indicates that walking
10,000 steps a day meets the guidelines set by the American College of
Sports Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for
physical activity. Most individuals do somewhere between 3000 and 5000
steps a day, so they fall quite short of the 10,000 steps a day goal. Attaining

they take each day by using a pedometer to monitor progress.
