20,000 Steps a Day - Is It Possible? - What are the Benefits?







10,000 steps in a day. It seems very difficult when we travel to work in a car or bus from our house to the office and come back. At the end of the day, one is tired and does not feel like doing any work. So you are hardly taking any steps. Then how to make 10,000 steps? It is a natural question. But doctors are now telling their diabetes patients that 10,000 steps a day is recommended exercise.

If 10,000 is difficult what about 20,000?

I did 18,000 on 5 January 2018 and this increased my curiosity about the topic. A search reveal that there are persons doing 20,000 steps.

31 December 2017

I got the Fitbit and did 9000+ steps on the first day. Then did 10,000 steps every day till 5 Jan 2018. On 5th I did 18,000+. Then said is 20,000 steps a day possible. Yes, it is. Many are doing it. So on 6th  wanted to make 20,000 steps and ended up with 25,000

Became aware of  "By  10 a.m.,  Tom Christenbery  logs  7,381 steps on his pedometer."

So today I extended my activity.  By 12 noon, I also registered  10,000 steps and 1400 calories burned.  Planning to go for a hour's walk and that will help me to reach 20,000 steps today. Already 11,375 steps are taken.
