Walking provides numerous health benefits, from burning calories to improving your mood. It’s an easy form of exercise that almost anyone can do. The average American takes only 5,900 steps a day, about half the number of steps recommended by many health experts. While 10,000 steps is a good target for better health, it’s no magical number. The bottom line is the more you move, the better.
