Das Gehen in längeren, ununterbrochenen Phasen von 10–15 Minuten senkt das Risiko für Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen deutlich – um bis zu zwei Drittel im Vergleich zu kürzeren Spaziergängen. Die Ergebnisse stellen die gängige Idee „10.000 Schritte pro Tag“ in Frage und zeigen, dass Qualität und Konsistenz der Bewegung wichtiger sind als Quantität.

10-15 min compared to shorter strolls? 15min is a short stroll is it not? Who goes for a 5min walk?
Wow, who could have guessed that doing a random amount of steps (10k) that sounds great on social media has nothing to do with your cardiovascular health. It’s almost as if your body doesn’t care that your neighbor is impressed.
The 10000 steps idea is a marketing myth. Someone in Japan wanted to sell pedometers in the 60s. https://www.snopes.com/news/2021/02/02/do-we-really-need-to-walk-10000-steps-a-day/
I’m pretty sure the 10,000 steps idea stems from getting off your butt and doing something over nothing. A lot of people, especially office workers, barely move at all. Shooting for 10,000 steps is probably more achievable. Shooting for multiple 15 minute walks probably not as much.
Today I learned that 10,000 steps came from a Japanese pedometer company: https://www.outsideonline.com/health/training-performance/japanese-walking/
I was trying to find a different article about how it was just PR, but PR in that 6500 steps gave 80% of the benefit, but the government rounded it to 10k. Turns out it’s even dumber.
What about just running 6 miles
