Are you a regular walker?

Are you a regular walker? For transport or for health and recreation? Use a pedometer and make it count.

How many steps are enough? This guide gives a rough estimate, but it depends on what other forms of activity you are doing throughout the day (such as cycling to work).

Steps per Day/Activity Level

< 5000 steps - Sedentary lifestyle

5000 - 7499 steps - Low active

7500 - 9999 steps - Somewhat active

> 10,000 steps - Active

> 12,500 steps - Highly Active

Remember to be active in as many ways as you can. Walking for transport is an effective and convenient way to add some steps to your day!
