Walking Your Way to Wellness
Walking is one of the easiest, most prescribed cardiovascular exercises you can do. A healthy, active adult should strive for 10,000 steps per day (about 5 miles). A sedentary adult should aim for 1,000 to 3,000 steps per day and gradually increase steps until the 10,000 goal is achieved. Wearing a pedometer is the best way to track your steps.
