Take 10,000 Steps Today!

Do you sit at a desk all day? If so, you probably fall into the sedentary category and are only accumulating about 3,000 or 4,000 steps each day. Sedentary lifestyles contribute to a number of health problems in America today, such as the increase in people who are overweight and obese, and the rising rates of type 2 diabetes.

If you want an easy way to increase your activity levels, the 10,000 steps program could be just what the doctor ordered. By increasing the number of steps you take each day, you are working toward changing your lifestyle to be more active and are improving your overall heath and fitness.

Research shows that you don't have to do all your exercise in one hit for health benefits to accrue. Small amounts of any physical activity throughout the day all add up to provide similar health benefits.

To participate in the 10,000 steps program, you will need a pedometer. This is a small device that you attach to your hip that counts the number of steps you take each day.

If you are a CalorieKing.com member, you can record your daily steps in your Food and Exercise Diary, and see your results and progress on a chart.

As you move around throughout the day, your steps all add up toward your daily total. If you take 10,000 steps throughout the day, it's the equivalent of walking for about an hour and 40 minutes.
