Large studies link roughly 7,000-9,000 daily steps with meaningfully lower mortality risk, and walking is the single most adherent exercise humans have β nobody quits walking. This guide separates the real targets from the folklore, explains why pace matters more than the number alone, and shows where the steps actually hide.
