10,000 Steps Challenge
• 10,000 steps (5 miles) per day (1 hour 40 minutes)
• 1,000 steps (1/2 mile) only takes 10 minutes
• 500 steps (1/4 mile) 1 lap around the track
Tips
Park away from office/store rather than near by
Take a walk w your friend/neighbor
Steps/mile depends on your stride
A person 5’ 3” tall typically takes 2,400 steps/mile
whereas a 6’ tall person only takes 2,100 steps
Be a Safe Walker!
• Always walk on sidewalks or walk facing traffic.
• Cross the street at crosswalks, traffic signals, or at an intersection.
• Be extra careful and avoid dark clothes if walking in the dark.
