minus-squareLittleTarsier@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·3 months ago10,000 was actually a fabrication. Benefits are greatest around 8700 steps.
minus-squareTheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 months agoBasically the benifits of walking (on lowering all-cause mortality) sort of plateau at 8700… 10k still isn’t a bad metric to strive for.
minus-squareBongles@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 months agoAnd it also was never all or nothing. I keep my goal at 6000 just because 10k (i didn’t know about 8700) isn’t realistic for me. It’s still better than what I would walk normally.
