Pedometer’s…A great way to keep track of your steps!

I have had a few people ask “How many steps should I be taking daily to stay in shape?”  The number of steps is going to be different for everyone.  Figure out the amount of steps you log just doing your normal everyday activities.   On top of that you should be doing an extra 30-45min of cardio so you can add on 2500-3500 steps to reach a healthy goal.  In general an active adult will take 10,000 steps daily.  An extremely active adult will take closer to 13,000 steps.  Try setting a weekly goal for yourself and add a certain amount of steps daily in order to work up to that goal.  Good Luck!
