(Undated) — New research suggests you can take fewer daily steps and still reap health rewards.
According to a study published in The Lancet Public Health last month, seven-thousand steps a day, which is far less than the benchmark ten-thousand, is not only more realistic for some, but just as beneficial. Researchers analyzed dozens of studies that have been conducted worldwide since 2014 to consider the impacts of how many steps you take daily and other health outcomes.
Whether it’s a step count, a time-based goal, or just getting up and moving during the day, experts say it’s important to “do what you can commit to and stay consistent.”
