Where did the goal of walking 10,000 steps a day come from? Ten thousand steps was first popularized by Japanese pedometers in the 1960s under the name “manpo-kei,” which means “10,000 steps meter” as reported by UC Davis Integrative Medicine.
According to according to Michael Roizen, a physician and chief wellness officer at Cleveland Clinic, in Here’s what happens to your body when you walk those recommended 10,000 steps, “If you look at it, if everyone did just 10,000 steps a day in America we would probably decrease healthcare budget by $500 billion a year and that shows how few people actually do it.”
Research is clear: A minimum of 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week is vital for your health.
This week, get walking. Not only is it one of the best ways to prevent chronic illness like diabetes and heart disease, it is also fun.
