1 Researchers studied a group of men that typically walk approximately 10,000 steps per day (as measured by a pedometer) and asked them to reduce their steps to only 1,350 per day. 2  This meant taking elevators instead of stairs, driving to work and lunch.
Various targets around that figure have been published by public bodies. Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, for example, recommends a daily walk of 8,000 to 10,000 steps. The UK National Obesity Forum says that a person who walks between 7,000 to 10,000 steps a day qualifies as moderately active.
