James Rogers, a running coach with a UESCA certification (United States Sports Coaching Association), answered the question of whether walking 10,000 steps a day is sufficient for weight loss here.
“Being in constant motion is intense, but it is more important than exercises that are unique every day. The benefits of walking and running long distances only begin to be felt when done consistently.
Some people may quickly get bored and abandon sports because they do intense workouts with specific intervals to lose excess weight and do not see results. Long walks are easier than heavy workouts, and it is easier to maintain their duration. This factor is the easiest and most convenient method for weight loss and maintaining health,” said the coach.
According to research by Jama International Medicine, walking 10,000 steps or more a day reduces the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
The latest results of a study involving 6,042 participants aged 41 to 67 were published in the American journal Nature. The experiment lasted an average of 4 years (ranging from 2.2 to 5.6 years). The physical activity of all participants was monitored using fitness trackers.
The results showed that there is a correlation between the number of steps taken and diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, depression, sleep apnea, and gastroesophageal reflux disease.
“In my opinion, walking 10,000 steps a day may not be suitable for everyone. You can find a routine that works for you by balancing physical activity with other more intense exercises and trying different activities. Significant results in weight loss can be achieved by incorporating a healthy diet,” concluded James Rogers.
