SOME PEOPLE GET really amped up about crushing their tracker’s 10,000 step goal. You think whoop-de-doo, but walking consistently throughout the day exponentially helps your mental and physical health.
Here are three benefits you’ll experience by getting up and taking a stroll.
1. You’ll better handle everything life throws at you
The more average daily steps you take, the more likely you are to better handle stress.
3. You’ll drop weight, lose inches—and live longer
Fifteen-thousand steps is the equivalent of about seven miles—the distance that’s beneficial to walk daily to maintain a healthy weight, a trim waistline, and a reduced risk of cardiac disease.
