Should You Really Take 10,000 Steps a Day?

10,000 steps a day?
Before this marathon, I never heard of that concept.
I've always known that walking a mile or two daily can be beneficial for your health.
So I did some research behind the idea...
So basically it comes down to burning fat.
10,000 steps a day for a week could result in losing a pound a week.
While walking improves physical and psychological well-being, one shouldn't be misled by the idea that walking alone shall lead to weight loss. The calories burned should be greater then the calorie intake.

It is not necessarily to walk 10,000 steps in one hit.
It should be spread throughout the day and it can be achieved by doing simple things like;
Park the car further when you go to the supermarket, walk to the store (if possible), instead of phoning your colleague at work who sits in a office 100 meters away, walk to him.
Activities can also be converted to steps, take a look at this Steps conversion chart

10,000 is a good beautiful round number and the science behind this concept is really "realistic".
I don't expect to lose a pound a week WHEN I do this for a week, because right now I get these eat urges because I'm more active then before
so that's a challenge itself.

You should just do what your body can handle, do not over reach.
Steady and Slow wins the race...just like forex trading
