10,000 Steps-Your Prescription for Better Health

The 10,000 Steps program uses a pedometer to count steps, which is a useful, motivational tool to help you monitor your daily activity level. By providing you with instant feedback, the use of your pedometer may help you set some measurable personal goals toward becoming more physically active. We hope that your pedometer inspires you to be more physically active, thus allowing you to improve your health and quality of life.

The latest research indicates that 10,000 steps each day is equivalent to 30 minutes of daily physical activity or approximately five miles – the level recommended by the United States Surgeon General.

According to the United States Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health, studies show heart disease is almost twice as likely to develop in inactive people than in those who are more active.
