Is 7,000 Steps Enough? Yes, and Here's How to Get There

10,000 steps a day? Did you know that crazy number came from a Japanese pedometer sold in the 1960s, not from science?
Recently scientists found that 7,000 steps a day gave the same health benefits as 10,000 including lower risk of dying early from heart disease, and even of dementia.
So even 7,000 seems like a lot but here are some ways to get them in:
-
Park at the far end of the parking lot
-
Walk while you're on the phone
-
Take a walk after lunch or dinner (and breakfast if you're retired)
-
Take the stairs
-
Split it into three or four shorter walks
-
Walk with a friend or the dog
Steps aren't the whole story. Add some strength work two or three times a week. Women lose muscle and bone faster after menopause, and walking alone won't fix that.
