10,000 Steps A Day Won’t Prevent The Mythical Freshman 15
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/CScRRgmfaDA
Walking ten thousand steps a day, the so-called gold standard for good health, will not prevent first year college students from piling on those pounds. Exercise scientists at Utah’s Brigham Young University studied 92 young women during their first 6 months of college.
Taking nearly 11,000, 13,000 or even 14,000 steps a day did not prevent weight gains of 7 up to 13 pounds for the freshman year. There was no correlation between steps and weight gain.
The secret to weight loss is simple: burn more calories than you consume, and make sure you’re not biking or running to the donut shop.
