Until recently, the latest studies said that walking 10,000 steps a day was the key to being healthy, losing weight, and even regulating blood glucose. However, a recent research published in the International Journal of Obesity reveals that if we also want to prevent cardiovascular diseases, we would have to reach 15,000 daily steps.
Not all of us walk at the same pace, nor are our strides the same size, but to give you an idea, Dr. William Tigbe, the study leader, explains that 15,000 steps are equivalent to about 11 kilometers or about 3.5 hours a day. day walking at a leisurely pace.
Said like this, it seems like an almost unattainable goal, but you have to bear in mind that a sedentary person already takes about 5,000 steps a day, so with a little effort, you can increase that amount a lot.
In the photo gallery above we have given you ideas to achieve 15,000 steps a day, but do not get obsessed, the important thing is that you introduce the habit of walking more in your daily life. Do not try to go from 5,000 to 15,000 in one day, better do it gradually.
