Why do you need to walk 10,000 steps a day and how to do it?
Can walking 10,000 steps a day help you lose weight and maintain a healthy weight? So!
Regular walking is beneficial both in terms of weight loss and fitness, as well as health. And this applies to both beginners and advanced training enthusiasts.
When you increase the number of steps per day (for example, according to the above program), you become more active during the day, outside of individual specialized training. And if you're new to fitness, walking is ideal for building up your fitness levels for the most important workouts. And even if you have been exercising for several years, it may not be enough to neutralize the negative health effects of a sedentary lifestyle.
In general, walking more is not only good for your waistline, but also for your health.
In addition, walking has no side effects, unlike running. Running puts the strongest and not very useful load on the joints, frequent injuries in runners are a harsh reality. Walking is the most natural set of movements for a person, and the safest for beginners.
Even if you train for an hour a day, but spend the remaining time sitting (due to the specifics of your work, for example), you will not be able to reduce the risks of diseases with these exercises. That's when walking helps - you move more often during the day.
You have already heard about the cherished 10,000 steps a day - this recommendation is given by many. This is certainly a good goal, but not the best way to start walking with that number of steps.
Based on the latest research, an adult walks an average of 5,900 steps a day. And if you don't take the average, then the majority walk much less. That is why you cannot immediately switch from 2000-5000 steps to 10000. A sudden increase in load will not bring much benefit, rather harm. It is better to start adding 500 steps a day, gradually increasing their number once a week. And so on, until you start going for 10,000. (to read the whole article follow the link at the top)
