12000 Steps
Number of steps per day more important than step intensity
]Adults who took 8,000 or more steps a day had a reduced risk of death over the following decade than those who only walked 4,000 steps a day.
Step intensity (number of steps per minute) didn’t influence the risk of death, suggesting that the total number of steps per day is more important than intensity.
Doctors often recommend walking as an easy way for inactive people to ease into better health. Taking 4,000 or fewer steps a day is considered a low level of physical activity. A goal of 10,000 steps a day is commonly cited, but recent studies have shown that health benefits accrue even if fewer than 10,000 steps are taken daily.
Researchers compared the risk of death over the follow-up period among people who took fewer than 4,000, up to 8,000, or 12,000 or more steps a day. They also tested whether step intensity, measured by cadence, was associated with better health.
During the decade of follow-up, 1,165 out of the 4,840 participants died from any cause. Of these, 406 died from heart disease and 283 died of cancer.
Compared with people who took 4,000 steps a day, those who took 8,000 steps a day at the start of the study had a 50% lower risk of dying from any cause during follow-up. People who took 12,000 steps a day had a 65% lower risk of dying than those who took only 4,000.
Higher step counts were also associated with lower rates of death from heart disease and cancer. These benefits were consistent across age, sex, and race groups.
Step intensity did not seem to impact the risk of mortality once the total number of steps per day was considered. Only an increased number of steps per day was associated with a reduced risk of death.
The findings are consistent with current recommendations that adults should move more and sit less throughout the day.

The idea behind this field is to simulate the benefits of walking 12000 steps daily.
The amount of times you will need to listen to get a 'full effect' is subjective. Stop listening when you get the feeling you got enough. But it's safe to keep using it, even though the effects cap at 12000 steps.

The music kinda reminds me of Persona bgm 🙂
i wonder how many loops for a regular person to reach the 12,000 be? 🤔
I have a question how low noise ,can we play, for it to be effective?
It needs to be slightly audible. A decent volume with good sound quality (not meaning you should blast it), should bring more effectiveness for most people though.
Thank you for this gem. Does it also help with calorie burning effects of walking 12k steps/day? Or only in terms on health benefits?
I would like to know that too. It feels like that to me. Wishful thinking from the end 😂
So cool! Artwork is fire
Thank you :)
This creation (along with calorie restriction and a healthy diet) helps burn fat and lose weight just like walking 12,000 steps a day?
yes
Thank you PU 💫
Thanks!
I was literally checking my phones step counter when I saw this. I've been trying to walk more as I've gotten extremely sedentary being home all day. Looking forward to combing this with my efforts! 🥰 Thank you!!!!
🔥🔥
This is insane. Thanks man!
Walking is a good substitute for workout, although it can be classified as a workout. Never was big on workout that required strenuous amount of work haha. Walkers for life 😎🫶
my take on this is that walking / running is a separated category for all humans It makes sense because we evolved waking a lot. So the organization of our body kinda depends on this. Of course building muscle is very important too, but I think both things should be done together. I don't get the feeling a person that only goes to the gym to lift weights is as healthy as some places claim.
Amazing! I can't always get all 10k in daily so, thank you so much! ❤️
It's very hard!
