The fact that physical activity is needed to maintain a healthy is well known to everyone. Every day we are bombarded from all sides with various diets and ways we can successfully get rid of extra pounds to keep ourselves healthy and therefore happy.
It has almost become the rule that 10,000 steps should be taken daily for a healthy lifestyle but it is not that simple.
Number of 10,000 steps can't be applied to all people. Each organism is different and each needs individual access.
For people who are not used to exercise or to deal with physical activity, the 10,000 step number is too large and could easily quit any activity while on the other hand those who are not physically active and make an average of 2,500 steps a day, 5,000 steps would be big success.
Also 10,000 steps might not be enough for children who need physical activity for proper growth and development.
Because of all written in this post, even though 10,000 steps are easy to remember, it is not necessary to take it for granted, just try to do the best you can. Therefore, whenever you have a chance choose standing instead of sitting, walk rather than stand, jog rather than walk, run rather than jog.
