Well, if you are walking 10,00 steps a day then I applaud you. As per the American Heart Association this is the amount of steps you need to walk to be "considered" active. I bought a pedometer and as of tonight I have walked a whole whopping 2,915. Granted I didnt exercise tonight because my calves are in agony from the last 2 nights of the Gazelle. But even if I had I would have to be on there for like at LEAST 2 hours to make up 7,000 steps. And being I probably would go into cardiac arrest before that its just not happening. Well, here are the classifications for walking - Good Luck -1) Under 5000 steps/day may be used as a "sedentary lifestyle index"
2) 5,000-7,499 steps/day is typical of daily activity excluding sports/exercise and might be considered "low active."
3) 7,500-9,999 likely includes some exercise or walking (and/or a job that requires more walking) and might be considered "somewhat active."
4) 10,000 steps/day indicates the point that should be used to classify individuals as "active".
5) Individuals who take more than 12,500 steps/day are likely to be classified as "highly active".
