Think from KERA

There’s nothing magical about 10,000 steps


Listen Later

 You’ve got to get your 10,000 steps in today, right? Except that’s not based on any real science. Courtney Rubin writes about medicine, health, fitness, and wellness and she joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how the myth of the 10,000 steps came to be, why science is complicating that number and what you should know when you hit the pavement for that daily walk. Plus, we’ll consider the joys of walking. The article, “The accidental step-count scam,” was published in Women’s Health.
