How far is 10,000 steps?

Answer 1

It varies based on stride length, but 10,000 steps is generally about 5 miles of walking. If that sounds like a lot, don't worry—recent research has questioned whether 10,000 steps a day is actually the best health goal.

It turns out this "guideline" was originally a marketing tactic. In 1965, a Japanese company named their pedometers what translates to "the 10,000 step meter”—perhaps because the Japanese character for “10,000” resembles a person walking—and the idea spread from there.

Steps aren’t as much of a measure of a healthy lifestyle as general activity levels. CDC's current exercise recommendations for adults are 150 minutes of moderately intense activity per week, with activities that strengthen muscles at least two days per week.

Answer 2

It depends on how many steps you take per centimetre. As a millipede 10,000 steps equates to about 30cm for me.

I assume you aren't a millipede so this information is probably not that useful for you.

Answer 3

10,000 steps means approximately 5 miles.

It burns 400-500 calories.

You could lose about one pound per week in this case.

Trust me this is not easy initially but fruitful for people who wanna lose weight.

Answer 5

That is about 5 miles so if you walk 10,000 in a day you walked 5 miles!!

Answer 6

It depends on how many steps you take and 10,000 is 11,000

Answer 7

Depends on how big your steps are - but the average person would walk around 5 miles if they took 10,000 steps

Answer 8

An average person has a stride length of approximately 2.1 to 2.5 feet. That means that walking 10,000 steps would be walking almost 5 miles.

Answer 9

10,000 steps is usually around 10,000 steps.

Answer 10

Depends on your step length, a casual step of a person of average height and leg length is about 70 cm; which would make that distance 7 kilometres.
