A pedometer is a small electronic device, worn on the hip, that measures and records movement associated with the impact of taking steps. They’re often used to give an indication of the wearer’s total everyday activity, whether doing the shopping, working at the office or going for a brisk walk.
Most people do a lot less than 10,000 — a car-commuting desk-bound office worker might only do 3000. The idea is that you aim for the 10,000-step target by accumulating small amounts of extra activity over the day — changing the TV channel manually instead of by remote control; parking further from the shopping centre entrance; taking the long way to the tea room; going to the second-closest sandwich shop for lunch, etc.
An increasing number of studies are finding that walking an average of 10,000 steps a day is associated with improved health in terms of weight loss, blood pressure, blood cholesterol levels and glucose tolerance.
Is that all I need to do?
National physical activity guidelines recommend you accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise (such as brisk walking) on most, if not all, days of the week for good health. Moderate intensity means a slight but noticeable increase in breathing and heart rate — you should be able to talk but not sing. Your 30 minutes don’t have to be in one hit — you can do them in several sessions throughout the day, but each session should be at least 10 minutes.
In terms of steps, the 30 minutes work out at about 3000–4000 steps. However, racking up 10,000 steps a day on your pedometer doesn’t necessarily guarantee you’ll meet the guidelines.
That’s because the 10,000 steps may include a high proportion of low-intensity — as opposed to moderate-intensity — steps (while preparing dinner or gossiping around the water cooler, say) and short bursts of walking (from the car park to the lift). While all activity is useful, moderate or high-intensity activity in 10-minute+ blocks is more useful.
That said, it’s been found that people who do the 10,000 steps are more likely to meet the target of 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise daily — indeed, it may be difficult to reach 10,000 steps unless you go for a good walk.
Will it help me lose weight?
Walking 10,000 steps a day is reportedly equivalent to an energy expenditure of 1260–1680 kilojoules (300–400 Calories) a day, although this is only approximate and depends on a whole raft of factors.And of course if you’re already doing 5000 steps a day, increasing to 10,000 will only account for an extra 630–840 kJ (150–200 Calories) burned — not the whole 1260–1680 kilojoules extra.
It might not sound a lot, but it can add up to a weight loss of several kilograms in a year — providing you don’t eat more to compensate. And when you consider Australian adults currently gain an average of 350 grams a year, it’s certainly a good start. But for more dramatic weight loss you’d need to do more exercise and/or eat less.
Exercise can have an independent effect on risk factors associated with being overweight, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, glucose intolerance and poor physical fitness. While being active and having a healthy weight is the optimal health situation, some health researchers have gone so far as to say that it’s better to be overweight and active than lean and inactive.
Are 10,000 steps good for everyone?
While 10,000 steps are a nice round figure to aim for, if you’re doing nowhere near that, it might seem daunting — and somewhat discouraging. The good news is that even increasing your daily activity by 2000 steps is a great start, and can have health benefits. Also:
Kids should do more than 10,000 steps, although it’s not known how many are ideal — probably in the order of at least 12,000–16,000.
Elderly or chronically ill people might find a goal of 3500–5500 more realistic. It’s worth noting that pedometers may not accurately measure slow, shuffling steps, so may not be a good way of determining activity levels of people who can’t walk at a normal pace.
If your 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise consists of a non-stepping activity (swimming, cycling or weightlifting, say), a day’s count of around 6000–7000 steps would theoretically be roughly equivalent to doing 10,000 steps including a 30-minute brisk walk.
How active's your lifestyle?
For healthy adults:
Less than 5000 steps a day = sedentary.
5000–7499 = low active.
7500–10,000 = somewhat active.
10,000–12,499 = active.
12,500 up = highly active.
