Taking 10,000 steps a day is a rough equivalent to fulfilling the Surgeon General’s recommendation of 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week. There are approximately 2,000 steps per mile (assuming your stride is about 2 to 3 feet in length). How many miles can you walk in eight weeks?

Did you know the Surgeon General recommends 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days of the week in order to maintain good health.  If you take 10,000 steps a day, you will reap the same health benefits as if you spent that recommended amount of time in the gym each week.  You can earn steps by parking further away, taking the stairs, working out with a friend, or joining any of our wellness class!  Do not underestimate the social aspect of group exercise!
